2.4 Fault
96 YASKAWA TOEPYAIGA8001B GA800 Drive Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Code Name Causes Possible Solutions
The drive is trying to operate a specialized motor or a
motor that is larger than the maximum applicable
motor output of the drive.
• Examine the motor nameplate, the motor, and the drive to make
sure that the drive rated current is larger than the motor rated
current.
• Replace the drive with a larger capacity model.
A magnetic contactor was switched at the output. Set the operation sequence to not turn ON or OFF the magnetic
contactor while the drive is outputting voltage.
The V/f pattern settings are incorrect. • Examine the ratios between the V/f pattern frequency and
voltage. Decrease the voltage if it is too high compared to the
frequency.
• Adjust E1-04 to E1-10 [V/f Pattern Parameters]. For motor 2,
adjust E3-04 to E3-10.
The torque compensation gain is too large. Decrease the value set in C4-01 [Torque Compensation Gain] to
make sure that the motor does not stall.
Electrical interference caused a problem. Examine the control circuit lines, main circuit lines, and ground
wiring, and decrease the effects of electrical interference.
The gain during overexcitation operation is too large. • Find the time when the fault occurs.
• If the fault occurs at the same time as overexcitation operation,
decrease the value set in n3-13 [OverexcitationBraking (OEB)
Gain] and consider the motor flux saturation.
The drive received a Run command while the motor
was coasting.
• Examine the sequence and input the Run command after the
motor fully stops.
• Set b3-01 = 1 [Speed Search at Start Selection = Enabled] or set
H1-xx = 61, 62 [Speed Search from Fmax or Fref] to input speed
search commands from the MFDI terminals.
In PM Control Methods, the setting of the motor code
is incorrect.
• Enter the correct motor code to E5-01 [PM Motor Code
Selection] as specified by the PM motor.
• For specialized motors, refer to the motor test report and set E5-
xx [PM Motor Settings] correctly.
If the drive detects the fault at start or in the low
speed range (10% or less) and n8-57 = 1 [HFI
Overlap Selection = Enabled] for PM Control
methods, the high frequency injection gain is too
high.
• Set E5-xx [PM Motor Parameters] correctly or do Rotational
Auto-Tuning.
• Decrease the value of n8-41 [HFI P Gain] in 0.5 unit increments.
Note:
Set n8-41 > 0.0 for an ordinary IPM motor.
The current flowing in the motor is more than the
value set in L8-27 [Overcurrent Detection Gain] for
PM Control Methods.
Correct the value set in L8-27.
The control method is set incorrectly for the motor. Set A1-02 [Control Method Selection] correctly.
The motor main circuit cable is too long. Replace the drive with a larger capacity model.
Speed search does not complete at start when you set
A1-02 = 8 [EZ Vector Control] and use an induction
motor.
When E9-01 = 0 [Motor Type Selection = Induction (IM)], set b3-
24 = 2 [Speed Search Method Selection = Current Detection Speed
Search].
An overcurrent occurred during overexcitation
deceleration.
• Decrease the value set in n3-13 [OverexcitationBraking (OEB)
Gain].
• Decrease the value set in n3-21 [HSB Current Suppression
Level].
Note:
• This fault occurs if the drive sensors detect a drive output current more than the specified overcurrent detection level.
• Do a Fault Reset to clear the fault.
Code Name Causes Possible Solutions
oFA00 Option Not Compatible with Port
The option connected to connector CN5-A is not
compatible.
Connect the option to the correct connector.
Note:
Encoder options are not compatible with connector CN5-A.
Note:
• Do a Fault Reset to clear the fault.
• Fault trace is not available for these faults.
Code Name Causes Possible Solutions
oFA01 Option Fault/Connection Error
The option card connected to connector CN5-A is not
compatible.
1. De-energize the drive.
2. Refer to the option card manual and correctly connect the
option card to the connector on the drive.
Note:
Do a Fault Reset to clear the fault.
