Title: What is a Bad Input Command?
Post by: travis on March 30, 2016, 04:20:AM
What does Input Command mean?

Hello,
What is a "Input Command Alarm" in easy to understand language? Can someone provide a basic explanation or definition of a Input Command Alarm message and its possible causes.

I'm looking for tips on troubleshooting this type of fault from the perspective of an electrical maintenance tech. Thank you!

"Bad input command" seems like it should be a "bad command signal"

Definition of command signal: a voltage supplied by the controller in a motion control system that commands a precise movement of a motor within a specific time frame with the desire motion profile.

A bad command signal may indicate that the controller is issuing a command voltage that is out of range. I have to admit, I am not familiar with this error. Anyone else have some feedback on bad command signals?
