7.2  Alarms (warnings and faults) 
If faults/errors occur in the CANopen communications, the appropriate alarm or 
fault number is output at the drive converter/drive inverter.

Alarm No.  Description 
A0700  Can Chip Passive Warning 
Erroneous CAN messages are received or sent and the internal fault counter has exceeded 128. 
  Extra Information 
The erroneous CAN messages are not used. Data which was last sent remains valid. If the erroneous 
data is process data, depending on the telegram failure monitoring setting (P2040) , fault F0070 can be 
initiated. There is no response in the Drive if the parameter access messages are erroneous. The red 
error LED of the CANopen module is single flashing.  This warning  means that there are problems with 
the communication through electrical noise or other problems. Note that the health of the link can be 
determined by monitoring the number of message errors in the message error counter in r2054.06. See 
description of r2054.06 for further information. The message error counter should only increment 
occasionally. This warning will clear automatically when the number of error messages on the bus 
reduces sufficiently.   
  Remedy: 
•  Check and if required correct most significant digit of P2041.04 (baud rate)  
  for every bus node 
•  check cable connection between bus nodes 
•  check cable shielding 
•  replace the CANopen module 
A0701  CAN chip or CAN buffer overflow 
Data has been received too quickly to be processed.  
  Extra Information 
If the CAN chip buffer is full, or the software message buffers are full, then any further received 
messages will be lost until the option module and drive have had time to process messages from the 
buffers. The user has the option to ignore this warning, stop the drive, or to force a drive trip in response 
to this condition. See note 2 for further information. 
  Remedy: 
The cause of this error is that the bus loading is too high. Reduce the rate at which messages are sent 
to the MICROMASTER 420/430/440. Allow at least 1ms between 2 consecutive messages to the 
MICROMASTER 420/430/440. Note that within the drive CANopen module PDO message data is 
transferred to the drive every 8 ms, so writing to the same location (i.e. writing the speed set point) more 
often than every 8 ms will generally cause the earlier data to be overwritten. Note that PDO that write to 
different objects may be sent more often than 8 ms.
