Scope of this technical record
Step-by-step workflow for Unidrive PS.24V, O.ht and feedback-instability cases where external loads, option modules and sensor branches must be isolated before board repair.
Secure controls before branch isolation. Do not overfuse or bypass 24 V rail protection.
Unidrive control-side workflow route
The workflow proves external load and option branches before internal supply repair.

Workflow goal
This workflow keeps control-side faults on branch isolation: external loads, option modules, feedback supply, heatsink/fan feedback and finally internal control supply. It is intended to prevent internal board replacement before external loading is proven.
Step sequence
Classify the trip as power-up, cold, hot-load or motion-related.
Control-supply / feedback workflow
| Step | Action | Stop condition |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | List external 24 V loads and option modules | Wiring undocumented |
| 2 | Record cold/hot/motion timing | Thermal or feedback route unclear |
| 3 | Isolate branches under procedure | Fault follows branch |
| 4 | Check encoder/feedback supply and shielding | Feedback instability remains |
| 5 | Escalate internal control supply/feedback electronics | External branches proven |
Output package
The output package should include exactly which branch changed the fault. That is the difference between a field-wiring case and a control-board repair request.

Technical basis and reference documents
This is an independent editorial technical reference. Original manufacturer documentation remains controlling for installation, repair and commissioning decisions.

Linked records
The internal or auxiliary 24 V control-supply path is overloaded, shorted or unstable. The route begins with external loads, terminal wiring, option modules and supply rail evidence.
The drive thermal path has exceeded its safe boundary or the temperature feedback is not credible. Route by cold-start versus hot-load timing.
The drive may be reacting to poor or noisy feedback rather than a failed output module. The route begins with encoder supply, shield/grounding, cable routing, option module and motor-data evidence.
Routes PS.24V, thermal feedback and encoder instability through external 24 V loads, option modules, feedback wiring, sensor supply, heatsink feedback and control-board evidence.
Turn this record into a qualified service request
A repair decision is much more reliable when the request includes the exact identity of the drive, the first fault evidence and the machine condition when the symptom appeared.
- Complete drive type code / MLFB or nameplate model
- Fault code, fault value and first event before reset
- When the event appears: power-up, enable, ramp, run, decel or stop
- Motor/cable connected or isolated during the symptom
- Visible board, option-card, module and connector identifiers
- Previous repair history, replacement parts and repeat-failure pattern
