INV OVERTEMP
(4290)
Converter module temperature is excessive. Check ambient temperature. If it exceeds 
40 °C, ensure that load current does not 
exceed derated load capacity of drive. See 
appropriate hardware manual.
Check that ambient temperature setting is 
correct (parameter 95.10).
Check converter module cooling air flow and 
fan operation.
Cabinet installation: Check cabinet air inlet 
filters. Change when necessary. See 
appropriate hardware manual.
Modules installed in cabinet by user: Check 
that cooling air circulation in cabinet has been 
prevented with air baffles. See module 
installation instructions.
Check inside of cabinet and heatsink of 
converter module for dust pick-up. Clean when 
necessary.
Reset and restart after problem is solved and 
let converter module cool down.
I/O COMM ERR
(7000)
02.19 FW 2 bit 06
Communication error on control board, 
channel CH1
Electromagnetic interference
Check connections of fibre optic cables on 
channel CH1.
Check all I/O modules (if present) connected to 
channel CH1.
Check for proper earthing of equipment. Check 
for highly emissive components nearby.
LINE CONV
(FF51)
Fault on line side converter Shift panel from motor side converter control 
board to line side converter control board. 
See line side converter manual for fault 
description.
MOD BOARD T
(FF88)
Overtemperature in AINT board of inverter 
module.
Check inverter fan.
Check ambient temperature.
MOD CHOKE T
(FF89)
Overtemperature in choke of liquid cooled R8i 
inverter module.
Check inverter fan.
Check ambient temperature.
Check liquid cooling system.
MOTOR PHASE
(FF56)
02.19 FW 2 bit 15 
(programmable 
Fault Function 
30.16)
One of motor phases is lost due to fault in 
motor, motor cable, thermal relay (if used) or 
internal fault. 
Check motor and motor cable.
Check thermal relay (if used).
Check Fault Function parameters. Disable this 
protection.
MOTOR STALL
(7121)
02.19 FW 2 bit 14 
(programmable 
Fault Function 
30.10…30.12)
Motor is operating in stall region due to e.g. 
excessive load or insufficient motor power. 
Check motor load and drive ratings.
Check Fault Function parameters.
