Maintain and Troubleshoot Your Kinetix 3 Servo Drive Chapter 9
Motor Continuous Current
Overload
The internal filter protecting the motor
from overheating has tripped.
• Reduce acceleration rates.
• Reduce duty cycle (ON/OFF) of commanded
motion.
• Increase time permitted for motion.
• Use larger drive and motor.
• Check tuning.
Drive Overload
The motion application requires average
drive current in excess of rated capability.
• Reduce acceleration rates.
• Reduce duty cycle (ON/OFF) of commanded
motion.
• Increase time permitted for motion.
• Use larger drive and motor.
• Check tuning.
Encoder Data Range Error
Encoder not programmed correctly. Replace motor.
Encoder memory corrupted.
Encoder Cable Open
Communication not established with an
intelligent encoder.
• Verify motor selection if it does not support
automatic identification.
• Verify the motor supports automatic
• identification.
• Verify encoder wiring.
Hall error.
Encoder Data Parameter
Error
Encoder not programmed correctly. Replace motor.
Encoder memory corrupted.
Drive Overtemperature
Excessive heat exists in the drive. • Verify cooling fan operation (catalog
numbers 2071-AP8, 2071-A10, and 2071-
A15 only).
• Check tuning.
• Reduce acceleration rate.
• Reduce duty cycle (ON/OFF) of commanded
motion.
• Increase time permitted for motion.
• Use larger drive and motor.
AC Line Loss
Poor quality power. • Increase Ride Through time.
Attempted to enable drive without main
power active.
• Apply main power before enabling drive.
Phase connection missing. • Remove power and verify all physical
connections.
Fault Delay parameter is set too short. • Increase the Fault Delay parameter setting.
User Parameter Initialization
Error
Error in parameter memory storage. • Reinitialize parameter.
• Reset drive to factory defaults.
Current Feedback Offset
Defective hardware. Replace the drive.
User Parameter Checksum
Error
Checksum error. • Confirm and reset parameter.
• Reset drive to factory defaults.
Watchdog Timeout
Excessive electrical noise. Verify wiring, grounding and bonding.
Defective hardware. Replace the drive.
PWM Hardware Error
Defective hardware. Replace the drive.
