General messages will only be indicated on the seven-segment display of the SDCS-CON-F.

Power-up errors (E)
Power-up errors will only be indicated on the seven-segment display of the SDCS-CON-F. With a power-up
error active, it is not possible to start the drive.

1. Units should be de- and re-energized. If the fault occurs again, check the SDCS-CON-F and SDCS-PIN-F
boards and change them if necessary.
2. Power-up errors are only enabled immediately after power on. If a power-up error is indicated during
normal operation, the reason is usually caused by EMC. In this case, please check for proper grounding of
cables, converter and cabinet.
3. Try to re-load the firmware.
Fault signals (F)
To avoid dangerous situations, damage of the motor, the drive or any other material some physical values
must not exceed certain limits. Therefore, limit values can be specified for these values by parameter setting
which cause an alarm or a fault when the value exceeds the limits (e.g. max. armature voltage, max. converter
temperature). Faults can also be caused by situations, which inhibit the drive from normal operation (e.g.
blown fuse).
A fault is a condition, which requires an immediate stop of the drive in order to avoid danger or damage. The
drive is stopped automatically and cannot be restarted before removing its cause. All fault signals, with the
exception of:
− F501 AuxUnderVolt,
− F525 TypeCode,
− F547 HwFailure and
− F548 FwFailure
are resetable in case the fault is eliminated. To reset a fault following steps are required:
− remove the Run and On commands [UsedMCW (7.04) bit 3 and 0]
− eliminate the faults
− acknowledge the fault with Reset [UsedMCW (7.04) bit 7] via digital input, overriding control system or in
Local mode with DCS Control Panel or DWL
− depending on the systems condition, generate Run and On commands [UsedMCW (7.04) bit 3 and 0]
