8.6.4 ECF alarm (caused by logic discrepancy) and inverter output state
Figure 8.8 shows the timing scheme to apply when EN1 and EN2 inputs are not concordant, so that an alarm
ECF occurs.
Turning the emergency stop button ON turns EN1 and EN2 inputs OFF, which usually brings the inverter into the
Safe Torque Off (STO) state. If the discrepancy of the EN1 and EN2 inputs is within 50 ms, no alarm occurs; if it
is longer than 50 ms, the inverter interprets it as a logic discrepancy, outputting the alarm ECF. The alarm can
be cleared by restarting the inverter.
To diagnose the EN terminals circuit appropriately, when turning EN1/EN2 inputs ON and OFF, keep the ON and
OFF time for at least 2 s.
