VARIABLE DISPLAY RANGE DESCRIPTION
Motor Characterization Error 0 – 23* A Motor Characterization Fault (fault code 87) will store additional
information in the Motor Characterization Error variable:*
0 = sequencing error. Normally caused by turning off Motor Characterization
Test Enable before running the test.
1 = encoder signal seen but step size not auto-detected; set up Encoder
Steps manually
2 = motor temp sensor fault
3 = motor temp hot cutback fault
4 = controller overtemp cutback fault
5 = controller undertemp cutback fault
6 = undervoltage cutback fault
7 = severe overvoltage fault
8 = encoder signal not seen, or one or both channels missing
9 = motor parameters out of characterization range.
20 = Sin/Cos sensor not found
21 = phasing not detected
22 = Sin/Cos sensor characterization failure
23 = started characterization procedure while motor rotating.
Motor_Characterization_Error 0 – 23
0x3899 0x00
Parameter Mismatch Error 0 – 2 A Parameter Mismatch Fault Fault (fault code 99) will store additional
information in the Parameter Mismatch Error variable:
0 = none
1 = Dual Motor Enable = On, and Control Mode Select is not set to either
0-Speed Mode Express or 1-Speed Mode
2 = Feedback Type is incompatible with Motor Technology setting.
Parameter_Mismatch_Error 0 – 2
0x388F 0x00
Supervision Error 0 – 4 A Supervision Fault (fault code 77) will store additional information in the
Supervision Error variable:
0 = none
1 = watchdog timeout comms
2 = power supply fault detected
3 = queue fault detected
4 = ALU fault detected.
The Supervisor Fault (ash code 77) has several causes. The most common
cause is when one of the digital inputs is stuck in the range between the
guaranteed high threshold and the guaranteed low threshold for more than
100 milliseconds. See Digital Input specications, page 14.
Supervision_Error 0 – 4
0x3897 0x00
*NOTES:
Errors 1 and 9 apply to ACIM motors only.
Errors 20–23 apply to SPM motors only.
Errors indicate the motor characterization data is invalid, except in the case of Error 1.
This monitor variable will read “0” during normal operation (i.e., no characterization fault code 87).
