1 OVERCURRENT Output current is excessive. Check for excessive motor load, insufficient acceleration time (parameters 2202 ACCELER TIME 1,

main circuit.

cation lines and connections. Check parameter 3002 PANEL COMM ERROR, parameters in Group 10: Command Inputs and Group

16 EARTH FAULT exceed maximum specified length.
17 UNDERLOAD Motor load is lower than expected. Check for disconnected load. Check parameters 3013 UNDERLOAD FUNCTION through 3015

26 DRIVE ID Internal fault. Configuration block drive ID is not valid.
27 CONFIG FILE Internal configuration file has an error. Contact Carrier.
28 SERIAL 1 ERR Field bus communication has timed out. Check fault setup (3018 COMM FAULT FUNC and 3019 COMM FAULT TIME). Check com-
munication settings (Group 51 or 53 as appropriate). Check for poor connections and/or noise on line.
29 EFB CON FILE Error in reading the configuration file for the field bus adapter.

Parameter values are inconsistent. Check for any of the following:
2001 MINIMUM SPEED > 2002 MAXIMUM SPEED

1002 PAR PFA IOCNF PFA ENABLE is active. Check consistency of RELAY OUTPUT parameters 1401 through 1403, and 1410 through 1412. Check 8117

1010 OVERRIDE/PFA Override mode is enabled and PFA is activated at the same time. This cannot be done because PFA interlocks cannot be observed in
CONFLICT the override mode.
