30/36 Operation
Bosch Rexroth AG, Valve amplifier VT-MSPA, RE 30232-B/08.2020
9 Operation
Should a fault occur during operation, e.g. a power failure, the VT-MSPA...-2X can
simply be switched on again without further measures and it is then ready for
operation again.
If the VT-MSPA..-2X.. detects an error, a reaction takes place according to the table
below.

Table 9: Error evaluation
The “error“ voltage at test jack “v“ is automatically output as long as the erroneous
state persists (= LED “ready“ is permanently on red).
When the above causes of error are eliminated the amplifier module automatically
resumes operation according to its intended use.
[1] For resetting the overload protection circuit the command value has to be briefly
withdrawn from the module.
In the case of serious errors the module must be replaced.
