■ Detecting Inverter Alarms
The Inverter’s alarm codes are not specified in DeviceNet, they are a proprietary function of these
products. When an alarm occurs, the status will change as described below.
■ Reading the Alarm Code
The following methods can be used to read the Inverter’s alarm code.
■ Alarm Codes
The following table lists the alarm codes. Refer to the Maintenance Operation Chapter of your

● 3G3MV Alarm Codes
Function Inverter alarm status
Remote I/O The alarm output allocated in the remote I/O will turn ON.
If necessary, we recommend programming a sequence to handle the alarm (such as
stopping the Inverter) when the alarm output goes ON.
Explicit messages Read the alarm output for Class 29, Instance 1, Attribute 0B using message commu-
nications. We recommend programming a stop sequence (such as turning OFF all
related inputs controlling the Inverter) when an alarm occurs in the Inverter.
