13.4 Drive Module Fault Codes
In the event of a trip, the following potential codes can be accessed from the remote keypad. The fault code will be shown
and the fault no. will be transferred in the high byte of the drive status word when an external serial communication is used.
Table 13-2 Remote Keypad Fault Codes
Fault
Code
No. Description Corrective Action
Stop
0x00
Drive is READY and in a stopped condition. The motor is not energized. No enable signal is present to
start the drive
p-de
0X0A
Factory Default
parameters have been
loaded
Press the STOP key, drive is ready to congure for particular application
000
0x03
Instantaneous Over
Current
Excess load or shock load
on the motor
Fault occurs immediately on drive enable or run command
Check the output wiring connections to the motor and the motor for short
circuits phase to phase and phase to earth.
Fault occurs during motor starting
Check the motor is free to rotate and there are no mechanical blockages.
Ensure the motor nameplate current is correctly entered in parameter 9906.
Increase acceleration time in parameter 2202. Reduce motor boost voltage
setting in parameter 2603.
Fault occurs when motor operating at constant speed
Investigate overload.
Fault occurs during motor acceleration or deceleration
Accel/Decel times are too short, increase the value of parameter 2202 or
2203
0009
0x04
Motor thermal overload
protection trip
The drive has tripped after
delivering >100% of value
in 9906 for a period of
time to prevent damage to
the motor.
Ensure the correct motor nameplate current value is entered in parameter
9906. Check for correct Star or Delta wiring conguration. Check to see
when the decimal points are ashing (which indicates the output current >
parameter 9906 value) and either increase acceleration ramp (parameter
2202) or decrease motor load. Check the total motor cable length is within
the drive specication. Check the load mechanically to ensure it is free, and
that no jams, blockages or other mechanical faults exist
0004
0x05 Hardware Over Current
Check the wiring to motor and the motor for phase to phase and phase to
earth short circuits. Disconnect the motor and motor cable and retest. If the
drive trips with no motor connected, it must be replaced and the system fully
checked and retested before a replacement unit is installed.
000
0x06 Over voltage on DC bus
Check the supply voltage is within the allowed tolerance for the drive. If the
fault occurs on deceleration or stopping, increase the deceleration time in
parameter 2203 or install a suitable brake resistor and activate the dynamic
braking function with parameter 2020
0006
0x07 Under voltage on DC bus
The incoming supply voltage is too low. This trip occurs routinely when power
is removed from the drive. If it occurs during running, check the incoming
power supply voltage and all components in the power feed line to the drive.
0003
0x08 Heatsink over temperature
The drive is too hot. Check the ambient temperature around the drive is within
the drive specication. Ensure sufcient cooling air is free to circulate around
the drive.
Increase the panel ventilation if required. Ensure sufcient cooling air can
enter the drive, and that the bottom entry and top exit vents are not blocked
or obstructed.
U-T
0x09 Under temperature
Trip occurs when ambient temperature is less than -10°C. The temperature
must be raised over -10°C in order to start the drive.
