First, check the wiring: EtherCAT uses two-core shielded cable, and the "IN" port of the first servo must connect to the "OUT" port of the PLC (don't reverse IN/OUT). Then confirm the termination resistor--add a 120Ω resistor at both ends of the bus (the PLC's EtherCAT port has a built-in resistor, but some servos need manual activation via DIP switch). Also, check the servo's station address: the address set on the servo must match the configuration in InoProShop software. Many European users forget to set the servo address, leading to bus conflicts.
Most likely due to wiring or power issues. For wiring: use 24VDC shielded cable (not unshielded wire, common in low-budget projects in Southeast Asia) and ground the shield layer at one end (two-end grounding causes ground loops). For power: if the input signal comes from a sensor, check if the sensor's power supply is stable--voltage drops below 21.6VDC will cause signal loss. Also, avoid installing the PLC near welding machines or large motors (common in Turkish textile factories); electromagnetic interference (EMI) will disrupt signals--add a power filter or move the PLC cabinet 1m away.
First, check the IP settings: the Easy series defaults to 192.168.0.1. If your computer's IP is in a different subnet (e.g., 192.168.1.x), manually set your PC's IP to 192.168.0.x. Then test the cable: use CAT5e or higher Ethernet cable (crossover cables don't work). If using a network switch, make sure the switch is powered on and the port is active. Also, disable your computer's firewall--industrial laptops often block InoProShop's port (TCP 502). Some users in Germany encounter this issue due to strict enterprise firewall settings.
The Easy series relay output's maximum current is 2A per channel. If you control a motor or heater drawing over 2A directly, the relay will burn. Add an intermediate relay or contactor (common in European packaging factories)--use the PLC's relay to trigger the contactor, which handles high current. Also, install a surge protector on the equipment terminals--voltage spikes when the equipment stops damage the relay. For frequent on/off operations (more than 10 times/min), switch to a solid-state relay (SSR) instead of a mechanical relay.
First, calibrate the electronic gear ratio in InoProShop--match it to the servo's encoder resolution (e.g., 2500 pulses/rev) and mechanical transmission ratio (e.g., pulley ratio). Many users in Italy's textile factories forget this step. Then check the pulse output type: use differential pulse for distances over 5m (more stable than open-collector). Also, ensure the EtherCAT bus cycle is set correctly--1ms cycle is recommended for multi-axis synchronization (too long causes lag). If using pulse control, check the wiring for loose connections (common after transportation in Southeast Asia).
The Easy series' operating temperature range is -20℃~55℃. Overheating is usually due to poor ventilation. Don't stack modules too tightly--leave 5cm space around the PLC. Avoid installing the cabinet in direct sunlight (common in outdoor workshops in Thailand)--add a heat shield or cabinet air conditioner if ambient temp exceeds 50℃. Also, check if the power supply is overloaded: if you're using multiple expansion modules, upgrade to the GL20-PS2 power module (supports more modules with less heat generation).
First, confirm compatibility--Easy301 doesn't support expansion modules, while other models support GL20/GE21 series. Check the product manual. Then reset the hardware configuration: open InoProShop, delete the old module, add the new one, and download the configuration to the PLC. If still not recognized, clean the module's contacts with a dry cloth (dusty workshops in India cause contact issues)--don't use water or alcohol. Try plugging the module into another slot to rule out slot damage.
First, check the RS485 wiring--A connects to A, B connects to B (reversing them causes no communication). Use a multimeter to confirm. Then match the baud rate, parity, and data bits--both the PLC and the device must have the same settings (e.g., 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity). Also, ensure each device has a unique address (1-247)--duplicate addresses cause conflicts (common in small factories in Malaysia with multiple inverters). For cables over 100m, add a 120Ω termination resistor at both ends.
For transistor outputs (TN/TP models), check the wiring: sink output (TN) requires the actuator's positive terminal to connect to 24V, negative to the PLC's output pin; source output (TP) is the opposite. Many users in Europe mix up the wiring. For relay outputs (ER models), check if the relay is burned--use a multimeter to measure the output terminal (no voltage when energized means a burned relay). Also, check if the actuator's power supply is normal--no power to the actuator means it won't operate, even if the PLC output is on.
First, check if the PLC is in "Stop" mode--accidental operation of the mode switch on the front panel (common in workshops with multiple operators). Then check the power supply: voltage fluctuations (common in Southeast Asian grids) can trigger the PLC's undervoltage protection. Install a voltage stabilizer if needed. Also, check for program errors--e.g., an infinite loop in the program or exceeding the maximum scan time (100ms by default). Use InoProShop's "Monitor" function to check the scan time and locate the faulty program segment. Some users in South Korea encounter this due to incorrect loop programming.
