USING FAULT CODES AND MESSAGES TO SOLVE PROBLEMS
The fault messages displayed on the keypad display can be used to
troubleshoot problems. The fault messages can be divided into three
categories:
• Protective faults: These faults are displayed when the drive controller
detects conditions that, if left uncorrected, may result in damage to the
drive controller and/or motor. The drive controller shuts down to
prevent further damage from occurring.
• Drive faults: These faults are displayed when a problem is detected in
the drive controller.
• Process faults: These faults are displayed when a process feedback
or communication signal used by the drive controller is interrupted
momentarily or completely.
MAINTENANCE
Read the safety statements on page 87 before proceeding with any
maintenance or troubleshooting procedures.
The following steps should be done at regular intervals:
• Check the condition and tightness of the connections.
• Make sure ventilation is effective and temperature around the drive
controller remains within specified levels.
• Remove dust and debris from the drive controller, if necessary.
