What to do if Control Techniques Control Unit shows invalid configuration?
If the Control Techniques Control Unit displays an invalid configuration because the FM was not on this drive during its previous power-up, create or open a configuration file with the correct drive and motor selections and download the configuration to the FM or drive.
Why is the DC bus voltage high in my Control Techniques Control Unit?
A high DC bus voltage in your Control Techniques Control Unit can be caused by an open shunt fuse, a high AC line condition, or an application that requires an external shunt. To resolve this, use Reset Button or Input Line.
