Check for a locked rotor. Also, verify that the mechanical brake, if fitted, is released.
What to do if SEW DC drive trips on overload during acceleration with unloaded motor?
Check the Star/Delta terminal connection in the motor. Ensure that the rated operating voltage of both the drive and the motor match. Remember that the Delta connection always provides the lower voltage rating for a dual voltage motor.
Why can't I change parameters on my SEW DC Drive? Display shows "L"?
The parameters are likely locked. To unlock them, verify that parameter P38 is set to 0. Also, some parameters cannot be altered while the drive is running, so ensure that the drive is not enabled by checking digital input 1.
What to do if SEW DC Drive will not enable and display remains on "StoP"?
First, check that the hardware enable signal is applied to digital input 1. Next, ensure that the User +10 V output voltage (between terminals 5 and 7) is correct; if it's not, inspect the wiring to the user terminal strip. Check P-12 for terminal/keypad mode. If keypad mode is selected, press the key. Finally, verify that the supply voltage is within the specified range.
How to access extended menus on SEW MOVITRAC LTE-B DC Drives?
Ensure that P-14 is set to the extended access code. This code is typically "101" unless the code in P-37 has been changed by the user.
What to do if SEW DC drive will not power up in cold temperatures?
If the ambient temperature is less than –10 °C, the drive may not power up. Ensure that a local heating source keeps the ambient temperature above 0 °C in these conditions.
