Flux linkage observer 
failure 
(FobF) 
In PMFOB mode, when the electric feedback signal is 
not obvious and causing the estimated flux linkage (flux 
linkage estimates to 0 V/krpm) not converging to the 
exact flux linkage value, the calculated speed is not the 
exact motor speed, and then the drive stops and shows 
FobF. 
Action condition 
When the drive is in PMFOC mode (Pr.00-
11 = 6) and IF switches to FOB mode, 
the flux linkage estimation is ≤ 0

Yes 
IF current is too small in IF stage, 
or the electric signal is small when 
Increase Pr.10-31 (IF current) or increase the switching frequency of IF / FOB 
(Pr.10-39). 
The acceleration time is too fast to 
drive the motor in IF mode, the 
motor remains stop and is driven 
in FOB mode when switching IF to 
FOB, in this case, the electric 
signal is not obvious, and the flux 
Increase acceleration time (Pr.01-12) or use the first / fourth acceleration / 
deceleration switching frequency (Pr.01-23) to increase the acceleration time in 
IF mode 
Ke parameter is not accurate 
Re-rotate and auto-tune the Ke parameter
