8-2 Error Codes and Troubleshooting
Communication Error
Once the data sent from the PLC is received by the drive, the received data is checked for CRC,
parity, overrun, framing, and receiving buffer overflow. If all checked items pass, the data has been
received normally. A communication error (CE) is declared if any data item cannot be received
within 2 seconds.
The GPD 506 drive will operate according to the setting of parameter n102 when a communication
error (CE) occurs. The settings of n102 are as follows:
n104 Setting Description
0 Deceleration (n019) to stop after CE occurs, and the
Digital Operator flashes ‘CE’.
1 Coast to stop after CE occurs, and the Digital
Operator flashes ‘CE’.
2 Deceleration (n021) to stop after CE occurs, and the
Digital Operator flashes ‘CE’.
3 Operation continues after CE occurs, and the Digital
Operator flashes ‘CE’.
The default setting of n102 is ‘1’.
Modbus Error Codes
If there is an error in the command message, an error code will be returned in the response
message. A fault response message is structured as follows:

The following table indicates the fault code for the specific type of fault that occurred.
