SMART(S) Troubleshooting

SMARTS, a term is a reminder of the steps in troubleshooting intelligently.

​

S is for Safety. Before we do anything, we make sure we are not endangering ourselves, our customers, or the equipment.

 

M stands for Manual. Every drive has a smart display to show the results of any onboard diagnostics. Without the manual, the display is full of arcane symbols without meaning. The manual explains everything.

 

A is Application. We do not troubleshoot individual pieces of equipment; we troubleshoot the application. Most often the trouble is due to outside conditions rather than a faulty drive.

 

R is for Readings. We check the line voltage and motor current to find out if the incoming power line is “dirty” or allowing electrical spikes and unstable voltages to enter the equipment.

 

T is for Talk. We talk to the operators and users of the equipment because they are most familiar with it and were there when the problem occurred.

 

The final S is for Simple Solutions. We keep things as uncomplicated as possible and try the simple solutions first before we advance to more complex and costly ones.
