5.1. What Happens when a Protective Device Trips
NOTE
Before
operating the drive in emergency conditions, carefully read this section and the
following section,
What To Do When an Alarm Trips
.
The drive alarms are detailed below.
When a protection / alarm trips:
1) the ALARM LED on the keypad comes on;
2) the page displayed on the keypad is the root page of the FAULT LIST;
3) the FAULT LIST is refreshed;
In factory-setting, when the drive is switched on after an alarm has tripped—which has not been reset—it is kept in
emergency condition.
If the drive is in emergency mode when switched on, this could be due to an alarm tripped before the drive was reset.
To avoid storing the alarms tripped before the drive is switched off, set parameter C257 in the Autoreset Menu.
The drive stores the moment when an alarm trips to the FAULT LIST (supply time and operation time). The drive status
when the alarm tripped and some measures sampled when the alarm tripped are also stored to the Fault List.
The readout and storage of the fault list can be very useful to detect the cause responsible for the alarm and its possible
solution (see also the Fault List Menu/Power Off List Menu in the Sinus Penta’s Programming Instructions manual).
NOTE
Alarms A001 to A039 relate to the main microcontroller (DSP Motorola) of the control
board, which detected a fault on the control board itself. No fault list is available for
Alarms
A001
to
A039
and no Reset c
ommand can be sent via serial link; alarms can be
reset through the
RESET
terminal on the terminal board or the
RESET
key on the keypad.
No software for the keypad interface is available; the drive parameters and measures
cannot be accessed via serial link.
Avoid resetting alarms
A033
and
A039, as they trip when the flash memory is not
provided with its correct software. Alarms
A033
and
A039
can be reset only when proper
software is downloaded for the drive flash memory.
CAUTION
Before resetting any alarm, deactivate the
ENABLE
signal
on terminal
MDI2 to disable the
drive and prevent the connected motor from running at uncontrolled speed.
