Questions and Answers

Why is there a position error between hooks in the Drivecon Control Unit?
- D
  David JonesAug 21, 2025
  The position error between hooks, particularly after acceleration, deceleration, or stopping, can be caused by differing ramp times or stop functions. To resolve this, ensure that the ramp time and stop method parameters P2.1.10, P2.1.11, and P2.2.20 have similar values across all drives. Check that Ramp time and Stop method parameters P2.1.10, P2.1.11 and P2.2.20 have similar value in every drive.

What to do if the Drivecon Controller shows a flux current fault?
- H
  Heather SmithSep 3, 2025
  If your Drivecon Controller shows a flux current fault, it's possible that the original value of P3.4.1.5 Nom Flux Curr is incorrect. Check the motor rating plate value to correct this.

Why is the Drivecon Controller load too high?
- A
  Angela RamirezSep 1, 2025
  The Drivecon Controller load may be too high because the calculated motor torque is exceeding 30%. To resolve this, decrease the load.

What does it mean when my Drivecon XT DC Drives 'failed'?
- M
  michaelstephanieAug 31, 2025
  If there is a general fault in the inverter or a motor set change during tuning, reset or stop the process. This indicates an incorrect operation based on keypad instructions.

What to do if there is an output phase failure in Drivecon DC Drives?
- M
  Michael ClarkeAug 28, 2025
  If the current is not flowing in all three phases, check the motor cable connections.

What to do if the load is too high on my Drivecon DC Drives?
- B
  braunbethAug 27, 2025
  If the calculated motor torque is too high (more than 30%), the suggested solution is to decrease the load.

How to fix position error with Drivecon Control Unit when synchro functions normally?
- G
  Glenda HarveyAug 25, 2025
  If the synchro functions normally, and the master drive (V2.4.10.1) does not show a position error, but a position error occurs between the hooks, it may be because the system is not registering the position error because the nominal speed in one or more drives is not correct or accurate enough. Check P2.4.4 Nominal speed in all drives.

What to do if Drivecon Control Unit drives are vibrating after acceleration or deceleration?
- D
  Debra WashingtonAug 23, 2025
  If one or more drives are vibrating, especially after acceleration or deceleration, it could be due to a gain level that is too high, causing speed correction to overshoot. To fix this, reduce the P2.4.6 SystemBus Synchro gains value in the master drive. Reduce P2.4.6. SystemBus Synchro gains value in master drive.
