68 YASKAWA TOEPC7106170VA GA800 600 V Drive Installation & Primary Operation
Code Name Causes Possible Solutions
EF6 External Fault (Terminal S6)
MFDI terminal S6 caused an external fault through an
external device.
1. Find the device that caused the external fault and remove the
cause.
2. Clear the external fault input in the MFDI.
EF7 External Fault (Terminal S7)
MFDI terminal S7 caused an external fault through an
external device.
1. Find the device that caused the external fault and remove the
cause.
2. Clear the external fault input in the MFDI.
EF8 External Fault (Terminal S8)
MFDI terminal S8 caused an external fault through an
external device.
1. Find the device that caused the external fault and remove the
cause.
2. Clear the external fault input in the MFDI.
Err EEPROM Write Error
There was a problem with the EEPROM hardware. • Re-energize the drive.
• If the fault stays, replace the control board or the drive. Contact
Yaskawa or your nearest sales representative to replace the
board.
FAn1 Drive Cooling Fan Fault
The cooling fan stopped operating correctly. • Examine cooling fan operation.
• Re-energize the drive.
• Examine U4-03 [Cooling Fan Ope Time] and U4-04 [Cool Fan
Maintenance]. If the performance life of the cooling fan is
expired or if there is damage to the fan, replace the fan.
FbH Excessive PID Feedback
The FbH detection level is set incorrectly. Adjust b5-36 [PID High Feedback Detection Lvl] and b5-37 [PID
High Feedback Detection Time].
FbL PID Feedback Loss
The FbL detection level is set incorrectly. Adjust b5-13 [PID Feedback Loss Detection Lvl] and b5-14 [PID
Feedback Loss Detection Time].
GF Ground Fault
Overheating caused damage to the motor or the motor
insulation is not satisfactory.
Measure the motor insulation resistance, and replace the motor if
there is electrical conduction or unserviceable insulation.
The motor main circuit cable is contacting ground to
make a short circuit.
• Examine the motor main circuit cable for damage, and repair
short circuits.
• Measure the resistance between the motor main circuit cable and
the ground terminal. If there is electrical conduction, replace the
cable.
An increase in the stray capacitance of the cable and
the ground terminal caused an increase in the leakage
current.
• If the wiring length of the cable is more than 100 m, decrease the
carrier frequency.
• Decrease the stray capacitance.
There was a problem with the drive hardware. Replace the control board or the drive. For information about
replacing the control board, contact Yaskawa or your nearest sales
representative.
LF Output Phase Loss
The motor main circuit cable is disconnected. Connect motor main circuit cable wiring. Correct wiring errors in
the main circuit drive input power.
LF2 Output Current Imbalance
Phase loss occurred in the wiring on the output side
of the drive.
Examine for wiring errors or disconnected wires on the output side
of the drive, and repair problems.
nSE Node Setup Error
The H1-xx = 47 [Node Setup (CANopen)] terminal
was activated during run.
Stop the drive when the Node Setup function is in use.
oC Overcurrent
The load is too large. • Measure the current flowing into the motor.
• Replace the drive with a larger capacity model if the current
value is more than the drive rated current.
• Decrease the load or replace with a larger drive to prevent
sudden changes in the current level.
Overheating caused damage to the motor or the motor
insulation is not satisfactory.
Measure the motor insulation resistance, and replace the motor if
there is electrical conduction or unserviceable insulation.
The motor main circuit cable is contacting ground to
make a short circuit.
• Examine the motor main circuit cable for damage, and repair
short circuits.
• Measure the resistance between the motor main circuit cable and
the ground terminal. If there is electrical conduction, replace the
cable.
A short circuit or ground fault on the drive output
side caused damage to the output transistor of the
drive.
• Make sure that there is not a short circuit in terminal B1 and
terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3. Make sure that there is not a
short circuit in terminals - and terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3.
• If there is a short circuit, contact Yaskawa or your nearest sales
representative.
The acceleration time is too short. • Calculate the torque necessary during acceleration related to the
load inertia and the specified acceleration time.
• Increase the values set in C1-01, C1-03, C1-05, or C1-07
[Acceleration Times] to get the necessary torque.
• Increase the values set in C2-01 to C2-04 [S-Curve
Characteristics] to get the necessary torque.
• Replace the drive with a larger capacity model.
