What to do if Omron Inverter STOP/RESET key does not work?
- A
  amanda28Jul 30, 2025
  If the STOP/RESET key isn't working, consider these possibilities: * The STOP/RESET key might be disabled by a setting. Check and correct the STOP Key Selection (b087) setting. * The Overvoltage Suppression Function During Deceleration (b130) could be enabled. Try setting Overvoltage Suppression Function During Deceleration (b130) to "00: Disabled" or adjust the operation level of each function. * Controlled Deceleration on Power Loss (b050) might be enabled. Set Controlled Deceleration on Power Loss (b050) to "00: Disabled" or adjust the operating level of each function.

Why Omron SYSDRIVE MX2 Digital Operator keys do not work?
- S
  Stacey CookAug 3, 2025
  If the Digital Operator keys aren't functioning, it's possible that: * "86: DISP (Display fixed)" is allocated to a multi- function input terminal and the terminal is turned ON. Turn OFF the terminal to which the applicable function is allocated.

What causes Overcurrent Trip (E03) during Omron SYSDRIVE MX2 operation?
- A
  amy95Aug 16, 2025
  An Overcurrent Trip (E03) during operation can occur due to several reasons: * The acceleration time might be too short. Try extending the Acceleration Time (F002/F202/ A092/A292). * The load may be excessive, so reduce the load. * Overload Limit Selection (b021/b024) might be disabled. Enable Overload Limit Selection (b021/ b024).

Why Omron SYSDRIVE MX2 power does not turn on?
- M
  Miguel DennisAug 20, 2025
  If the power does not turn on and the main POWER LED indicator isn't lit, check the following: * Ensure the shorting bar between terminals +1 and P/+2 or the DC reactor is connected. If disconnected, connect the shorting bar or DC reactor. * Verify that the input wire is properly connected. If disconnected, check the wiring and reconnect it.

Why specified parameters are not displayed on Omron Inverter?
- J
  Jason MillerAug 26, 2025
  If specified parameters are not being displayed, it might be because: * Display Selection (b037) is set to a limited display mode like "01: Individual display of functions," or "04: Basic display." To see all parameters, set Display Selection (b037) to "00: Complete display". * "86: DISP (Display fixed)" is allocated to a multi- function input terminal and the terminal is turned ON. Turn OFF the terminal to which the applicable function is allocated.

What to do if Omron SYSDRIVE MX2 Inverter motor rotation speed does not rise?
- A
  Alexis WoodsNov 6, 2025
  If the motor rotation speed isn't increasing, consider these potential causes: * There may be contact failure with the analog input for frequency reference or Variable Resistor. Check the wiring, and measure the FV-SC terminal voltage or source-FI terminal current to ensure the correct signal is present. * The overload limit or overcurrent suppression function might be activated. Try disabling the function or raising the operation level. * The Maximum Frequency (A004) or Frequency Upper Limit (A061/A261) setting may be too low. Change the setting to a higher value. * The acceleration time could be set too long. Shorten the acceleration time (F002/F202/ A092/A292). * If jogging is enabled via a multi-function input terminal, turn OFF the terminal. * If a multi-step speed settin...

What to do if Omron SYSDRIVE MX2 Inverter motor does not turn after RUN command?
- K
  Kimberly WalkerNov 10, 2025
  If your motor isn't turning after a run command, it might be due to several reasons: * The Rotation Direction Limit Selection (b035) may be set to prohibit forward or reverse rotation. Ensure the correct setting for Rotation Direction Limit Selection (b035). * The input terminal wiring for the RUN command or shorting-bar connection position could be incorrect. Correct the wiring, using the Multi-function Input Monitor (d005) to check the ON/OFF status of the input terminal. * The analog input for frequency reference or Variable Resistor wiring may be incorrect. Correct the wiring and measure the FV-SC terminal voltage or source-FI terminal current to check for the correct signal. * A multi-function input terminal with "51: F-TM (Forced terminal block)" allocated might be ON while ...
