Chapter 6 Fault Code Information and Maintenance

6.1 Fault Code Information

The AC motor drive has a comprehensive fault diagnostic system that includes several different alarms and fault messages. Once a fault is detected, the corresponding protective functions will be activated. The following faults are displayed as shown on the AC motor drive digital keypad display. The three most recent faults can be read from the digital keypad by viewing Pr.73 to Pr.75.

NOTE

Wait 5 seconds after a fault has been cleared before performing reset via keypad or input terminal.

Corrective Actions

 

 

1.

Check whether the motors horsepower

 

 

 

corresponds to the AC drive output

 

 

 

power.

 

 

2.

Check the wiring connections between

 

 

 

the AC drive and motor for possible

 

 

 

short circuits.

 

The AC drive detects an abnormal

3.

Increase the Acceleration time (Pr.10,

 

increase in current.

 

Pr.12).

 

 

4.

Check for possible excessive loading

 

 

 

conditions at the motor.

 

 

5.

If there are any abnormal conditions

 

 

 

when operating the AC drive after

 

 

 

short-circuit being removed, it should

 

 

 

be sent back to manufacturer.

 

 

1.

Check whether the input voltage falls

 

 

 

within the rated AC drive input voltage.

 

 

2.

Check for possible voltage transients.

 

The AC drive detects that the DC

3.

Bus over-voltage may also be caused

 

bus voltage has exceeded its

 

by motor regeneration. Either increase

 

maximum allowable value.

 

the decel time or add an optional

 

 

 

brake resistor.

 

 

4.

Check whether the required braking

 

 

 

power is within the specified limits.
