Appendix A — Fault Codes

When a fault is detected by the drive’s control electronics, the drive is stopped and the symbol F together with the ordinal number of the fault, the fault code and a short fault description appear on the display. The fault can be reset with the RESET button on the control keypad or via the I/O terminal. The faults are stored in the Fault History Menu M5, which can be browsed. Table A-1contains all the fault codes.

1

Overcurrent

in the motor cable:

Check motor.

 

 

• sudden heavy load increase

Check cables.

 

 

• short circuit in the motor cables

 

 

 

• unsuitable motor

If this fault appears simultaneously

 

 

 

with Fault 1, check motor cables and

 

 

 

motor.

 

 

 

 

8

System fault

• component failure

Reset the fault and restart.

 

 

• faulty operation

Should the fault reoccur, contact
