How to fix YASKAWA CIMR-VC Controller Overcurrent?
- D
  David SmithAug 23, 2025
  If your YASKAWA Controller is showing an overcurrent fault, it could be due to several reasons. First, check the output wiring and the motor for short circuits or broken insulation. The load might be too heavy, so replace any broken parts. Also, verify that the acceleration/deceleration times are not too short and inspect the machine for damages. Ensure the motor data and V/f pattern settings are correct, and check the output contactor sequence.

Why is my YASKAWA CIMR-VC Controller showing Input Phase Loss?
- J
  Joshua BauerSep 1, 2025
  An Input Phase Loss error on your YASKAWA Controller indicates an input voltage drop or phase imbalance. Check the power supply and ensure that all cables are properly fixed to the correct terminals, as one of the input phases might be lost.

What does 'Block' mean on my YASKAWA CIMR-VC?
- T
  Tonya SerranoSep 2, 2025
  If your YASKAWA Controller is showing a 'Block' status, it could be because the software base block function is assigned to one of the digital inputs and the input is off. Check the digital inputs function selection. Also, check the upper controller sequence.

What to do if YASKAWA CIMR-VC Controller shows Safe D isable ?
- P
  Phillip VargasSep 3, 2025
  If the YASKAWA Controller displays a Safe Disable message, it means both Safe Disable inputs are open. Check why the upper controller’s safety device disabled the drive. Remove the cause and restart. Check the wiring. If the Safe Disable function is not utilized for EN60204-1, stop cat. 0 or for disabling the drive, the terminals HC, H1, H2 must be linked.

What does YASKAWA CIMR-VC Er-12 mean?
- G
  Garrett WolfeSep 4, 2025
  The YASKAWA Controller error Er-12 indicates a current detection error. One or all output phases are lost, so check the wiring. Ensure that the drive rating fits the motor, as the current is either too low or exceeds the drive's rating. Check the load, as the current sensors might be faulty. If the problem persists, replace the drive.

How to resolve YASKAWA CIMR-VC Controller l Fault?
- T
  Tim OconnorSep 5, 2025
  To resolve an l Fault on the YASKAWA Controller, check the load. If the torque limit was reached during deceleration for longer than 3 seconds when in Open Loop Vector control, set the torque limit to the most appropriate setting (L7-01 through L7-04) if the load inertia is too big. Check the motor parameters if the torque limit is too low. If the motor parameters are wrong, no solution was provided.

What to do if YASKAWA CIMR-VC Controller shows Externa l Faults to ?
- A
  Ann TaylorSep 5, 2025
  If your YASKAWA Controller is showing external faults, find out why the device tripped the EF, remove the cause and reset the fault, as an external fault was triggered by an external device via one of the digital inputs S1 to S6. Also, check the functions assigned to the digital inputs, as the digital inputs might be set up incorrectly.
