Chapter 4 Troubleshooting
Common Symptoms and
Corrective Actions
The drive is designed to start from the keypad when shipped. For a basic test of
drive operation:
1. Remove all user I/O wire.
2. Verify safety terminals (S1, S2, and S+) jumper is in place and tightened.
3. Verify wire jumper is in place between I/O terminals 01 and 11.
4. Verify that the three jumpers are in their proper default positions on the
control board. See PowerFlex 525 Control I/O Terminal Block
on page 41
for more information.
5. Reset default parameter values by setting P053
[Reset Defalts] to 2
“Factory Rset”.
6. If safe to do so for your application, press Start on drive keypad. Drive
will run according to the speed potentiometer.
F125 Flash Update Req 2
The firmware in the drive is corrupt,
mismatched, or incompatible with the
hardware.
Perform a firmware flash update
operation to attempt to load a valid
set of firmware.
F126 NonRecoverablErr 2
A non-recoverable firmware or
hardware error was detected. The
drive was automatically stopped and
reset.
• Clear fault or cycle power to the
drive.
• Replace drive or control module if
fault cannot be cleared.
F127 DSIFlashUpdatReq 2
A critical problem with the firmware
was detected and the drive is running
using backup firmware that only
supports DSI communications.
Perform a firmware flash update
operation using DSI communications
to attempt to load a valid set of
firmware.
(1) See Fault Types for more information.
(2) This fault may be cleared by the auto-restart routine and will be attempted only once. It ignores the value set in parameter
A541 [Auto Rstrt Tries].
(3) This fault is not applicable to PowerFlex 523 drives.
