9.2 Determining Drive Status Using the STP/FLT LED

The STP/FLT LED can be used to determine at a quick glance the status of the drive. If the drive is stopped, but not faulted, this LED will be illuminated solid. If the drive is running, this LED will be off. If this LED is flashing, then this indicates that the drive is faulted thus requiring attention. Please refer to figure 9.1.

9.3Monitoring Drive Status Using the Display Parameters

The Display Group has multiple parameters that can be utilized for monitoring the status of the drive and are useful for diagnosing certain situations. Chapter 6 describes how to display these parameters.

If the drive is being operated from the terminal strip, it is useful to monitor the status of the digital inputs to determine operational problems. The digital input status can be monitored by displaying parameter d7. The below describes the details of understanding the status of each of the digital inputs (labeled P1 ~ P8 on the control board terminal strip). In this example, P1, P3, and P4 are “ON” and P2, P5, P6, P7, and P8 are “OFF”.
