Servo drives are core equipment in the field of industrial automation, but the buttons and indicator lights on their panels often confuse beginners. Today, we’ll guide you—using a super simple approach—to quickly grasp the basic meanings and operations of a servo drive’s panel.
Generally, there are three major regions.
(1) Digital Display Window
Real-time display of device status (such as operating parameters or fault codes), etc.
(2) Function Buttons
Typically, there are 5 of them, used for parameter settings and operation control.
(3) Alarm Indicator Light:
Prompt the device's operating status.
Model Code
The Otong servo drive panel also features markings indicating the series, control method, and input voltage level, allowing you to quickly identify the basic parameters of the servo at a glance.
(1) Digital Display Window
The display window is like the drive's "face," proudly showcasing dazzling red data to keep you informed about its current status.
To understand what the red data points individually represent, we first need to know how the red data is structured.
First, the red data typically consists of 5 digits, with the leftmost digit tube representing the least significant bit (Bit 1), and the rightmost digit tube serving as the most significant bit (Bit 5), viewed from the direction where a person is facing the server.
Secondly, there will be a slight difference depending on whether the data is displayed in decimal or hexadecimal—so we need to carefully distinguish between the two.
Finally, remember the common alarm codes—these red data indicators can help engineers quickly troubleshoot and resolve issues.
(2) Function Buttons
There are typically 5 function keys, which are described below one by one.
“MODE”
Mode Switch Button
Function: Switch between 5 working modes: alarm code, monitor (select monitoring parameters), display monitoring parameters, user parameter settings, and auxiliary functions.
Instructions: Select the appropriate mode based on actual needs to better control the operation of the servo motor.
Note: Upon initial power-up of the servo system, and in the absence of alarms, the display defaults to showing the monitored operating parameters (with motor speed displayed by default at the factory).
“SET”
Select/Confirm Button
Function: Confirm the operation, select, enter the next-level menu, and so on. It’s similar to pressing “ENTER” on the keyboard.
Instructions: After you select a parameter, you can press the SET button to display the current parameter value. Use the arrow keys to modify and complete the value, then press the SET button again to save the change and return to the previous menu level.
“LEFT”
Left Shift Key
Function: When setting parameters, move the selected flashing bit to the left. It’s similar to the "I-beam cursor" in Word documents.
Instructions: Once you've selected the parameter, you can use this key to move its position.
“UP” “DOWN”
Increase/Decrease Buttons
Function: Change the displayed content in each mode, modify parameters, select parameters, or execute the selected operation.
Instructions: When you select a parameter, the UP key increases the value, while the DOWN key decreases it—continue adjusting until the value reaches your desired target.
(3) Alarm Indicator Light
RUN light: Gray (standby), Green solid (device operating normally)
ERR Light: Gray (standby or operating normally), Red On (warning alert—please check carefully)
Based on the image above, you can now perform panel operations directly on the servo drive in your hand. Of course, any questions about the meanings of the monitors, parameter settings, and more—feel free to reply in the comment section, and we’ll provide you with the relevant information.
