Overview

The ACE1200 model of Automotion's all digital servo-amplifiers is used in Creo output devices starting at serial number TM747.

The key differences compared to the previous IDS1100 drum amp are:

Status LEDs

In normal operation, the ACE1200 is either in a Ready state or an Error state, meaning that one or the other LED is on. If both LEDs are ON, this indicates that the ACE1200 has been powered or reset with the Mode input floating. The Mode input is used to update ACE1200 program memory.

Flash Code Description Possible Cause Result Recovery Method
ON Steady ACE1200 is in RUN mode. RUN mode set in the user interface Clear all faults and STATUS flags.

Enable three-phase PWM.

Reset the device by turning the main power switch off and waiting 10 seconds before turning the device back on.
1 short flash on followed by one long off Drive is in STANDBY mode. STANDBY mode set from the user interface The drive is placed in STANDBY mode. Reset the device by turning the main power switch off and on.
2 short flashes on followed by one long off Power Module Fault Short circuit

Over temp fault

Improper power module logic control voltage

The drive is placed in STANDBY mode. Reset the device by turning the main power switch off and on.
3 short flashes on followed by one long off Shunt over stressed B+ rail voltage to high Shunt is turned on continuously for more than five seconds.

The B+ rail is greater than fixed 450-Volt limit.

The drive is placed in STANDBY mode. Reset the device by turning the main power switch off and on.
4 short flashes on followed by one long off B+ rail to low The B+ rail is less than the B+ rail low limit. The drive is placed in STANDBY mode. Reset the device by turning the main power switch off and on.
5 short flashes on followed by one long off User +5 V Logic supply fault User supplied SELV +5 V out of spec.(4.75-5.25 Volts) The drive is placed in STANDBY mode. Reset the device by turning the main power switch off and on.

Check supply voltage.

6 short flashes on followed by one long off SPI communications timeout detected DSP lost SPI synchronization from communication processor. The drive is placed in the DISABLED mode (hard fault). Reset the device by turning the main power switch off and on.
7 short flashes on followed by one long off Locked rotor fault Supplied current is greater than user specified time with no hall transitions The drive is placed in STANDBY mode. Reset the device by turning the main power switch off and on.
8 short flashes on followed by one long off Logic supply fault Line side logic power supplies out of spec(+/-15 V and +5 V) The drive is placed in STANDBY mode. Reset the device by turning the main power switch off and on.
9 short flashes on followed by one long off EEPROM Fault

Check sum fault

The user EEPROM has a checksum error

DSP program memory error.

The drive is placed in STANDBY mode.

The drive is placed in DISABLED mode (hard fault).

Reset the device by turning the main power switch off and on.

Reprogram DSP.
Warning: This will reset all drive parameters to default state.

10 short flashes on followed by one long off SPI communications timeout detected Communication processor lost SPI communications from the DSP. The drive is placed in STANDBY mode. Reset the device by turning the main power switch off and on.

Power LED (top side - Green)

LED Description Possible Cause Result Recovery Method
ON +5 V DC Power Indicator On if user power is on Required to run N/A
OFF +5 V DC Power Indicator No user supplied +5 V Drive will not run. Apply +5 V

Power LED (bottom side - Green)

LED Description Possible Cause Result Recovery Method
ON +5 V DC Power Indicator Logic power is on. Required to run N/A
OFF +5 V DC Power Indicator Logic power is not on. Drive will not run. Check AC power.

Current limit status LED (Bottom side – Red)

LED Description Possible Cause Result Recovery Method
ON Steady State Drive in Reset   Reset the device by turning the main power switch off and on.
ON During power up Soft charge (relay opened)   Allow 5-second power-up delay to allow internal capacitors to charge.
OFF   N/A Soft charge complete (relay closed) N/A
DIM Flickering - Drive current limit Current is sensed to be more than the calibrated drive capacity.   N/A

Shunt status LED (Line side -Yellow)

LED Description Possible Cause Result Recovery Method
ON   B+ Rail is high above the shunt turn on limit of 437 V. The shunt resistor is turned on.  
OFF   B+ Rail is below the shunt turn off limit of 425 V. The shunt resistor is turned off.
