What to do if Teco Electro Drives Controller shows over-voltage (regeneration error)?
- J
  Jill GutierrezSep 12, 2025
  If the Teco Electro Drives Controller shows an over-voltage (regeneration error), it could be due to the main circuit voltage exceeding the maximum allowable value (410V) or excessive regeneration voltage. First, use a multimeter to verify that the input voltage is within the specified limit. Then, check parameter Cn012 to ensure it is set correctly. If the alarm occurs during operation, try extending the acceleration/deceleration time or reducing the load ratio within the permitted range. If the issue persists, an external regeneration resistor may be needed.

What to do if Teco Electro Drives TSTA-30 displays drive over-current?

  Allison JonesAug 21, 2025
  If your Teco Electro Drives Controller displays a Drive Over-current error, it may be due to an over-current in the drive's main circuit or a transistor error. First, check the connections of the motor cable (U, V, W) and the encoder, as well as the power cable connection. If the alarm persists, turn off the power, wait 30 minutes, and then turn it back on. If the alarm continues, there may be a power module malfunction or noise interference, and the drive may need testing and repair.

How to fix motor overload on Teco Electro Drives Controller?

  If the Teco Electro Drives Controller indicates a motor over-load, it means the drive has exceeded its rated load during continuous operation. When the loading equals twice the rated loading, the alarm will occur within 10 seconds. Check the motor terminal connections (U, V, W) and the encoder connection. Also, adjust the drive gain, as an incorrect gain setting can cause motor vibration and a large current, leading to motor overload. You can also extend the acceleration/deceleration time or reduce the load ratio within the permitted range.

What causes motor over-current in Teco Electro Drives TSTA-30 Controller?
- C
  Christopher FreyAug 26, 2025
  If the Teco Electro Drives Controller is showing a 'Motor over-current' error, it means the motor current is four times greater than the rated current. Check if the motor wiring (U, V, W) and encoder wiring are correct. Internal interference or malfunction could also be the cause. Ensure all connections are correct.

How to resolve motor over speed error on Teco Electro Drives Controller?
- W
  Wendy BakerAug 28, 2025
  If your Teco Electro Drives Controller displays a 'Motor over speed' error, it means the motor's speed is 1.5 times greater than its rated speed. To resolve this, reduce the speed command. Also, verify that the electronic gear ratio is correct. Adjust the speed loop gains (Sn211 & Sn213) for better motor response.

What causes Encoder ABZ phase signal error in Teco Electro Drives TSTA-30 Controller?
- J
  John SmithAug 30, 2025
  If the Teco Electro Drives Controller shows an 'Encoder ABZ phase signal error', it indicates a failure in the motor’s encoder or a problem with the encoder connection. Check the motor’s encoder connections for any issues. Inspect the encoder for short circuits, poor solder joints, or breaks. Also, check the encoder signal terminals CN2-1 and CN2-2 (power cable 5v).

Why does Teco Electro Drives TSTA-30 Controller show Emergency Stop error?
- D
  Danny KennedySep 1, 2025
  If the Teco Electro Drives Controller displays an 'Emergency Stop' error, it means the input contact point EMC is activated. To solve this, disable the Emergency Stop signal input. If the issue persists, it may indicate an internal malfunction. Ensure that all connections are correct.

How to troubleshoot position error on Teco Electro Drives TSTA-30?
- C
  contreraskellySep 3, 2025
  If the Teco Electro Drives Controller shows a 'Position error', this means that the deviation between the pulse command and encoder feedback (position error) is greater than the setting of Pn308 or Pn309. To fix this, increase the position loop gain (Pn310 and Pn311) setting value. You can also increase the position tolerance value by adjusting Pn307 for better motor response, extend the time of acceleration/deceleration, or reduce load inertia within the permitted range. Finally, check if the motor wiring (U, V, W) is correct.

What to do if Teco Electro Drives TSTA-30 Controller shows under-voltage?
- A
  Arthur CollierSep 5, 2025
  If the Teco Electro Drives Controller displays an 'Under-voltage' error, it means the main circuit voltage is below its minimum specified value (190Vac). Use a multimeter to check whether the input voltage is within the specified limit. If the problem persists, there may be a failure inside the drive.

Why Teco Electro Drives TSTA-30 showing drive disable error?
- A
  Aaron CrosbySep 7, 2025
  If the Teco Electro Drives Controller shows a 'Drive disable' error, it means that input contacts CCWL & CWL are operated at the same time. To resolve this, remove the input contact signal CCWL or CWL. Check all input wiring for correct connections. Refer to Section 5-6-1 for the selected High/Low logic potential settings.
