Subject: [Emc-users] Servo Amp Documentation?

Anyone out there have any documentation for an older Elmo, DC brushed servo amp/drive, model SSA-8/100? Elmo's web site seems to only cover their current product line.

I have some machines using those amps. The control on one of them is setting an alarm "FAULT IN Y AXIS". The control's documentation is useless, the only trouble shooting it has is "Check Servo-Amp Board, circuit & wiring for the affected axis. Repair/replace as required." The amps are all powered, the motor and encoders are connected, all 3 amps show the same LEDs lit, swapping motors has no effect, swapping cables has no effect, and swapping amps has no effect, I can't think of what else to try.

Does the fault follow the drive?

If not, it sounds like maybe the fault signaling input to the controller is faulty


BTW I got a pdf manual hit by googling "SSA-8/100 manual"
