Troubleshooting

SymptomPossible CauseCorrective Action
Drive does not startPower supply/control circuitCheck input power; verify RUN command and enable signals.
Overcurrent fault (OC)Acceleration time/short circuitIncrease acceleration time; check for motor ground fault.
Overvoltage fault (OV)Deceleration time/regenerationIncrease deceleration time; install braking resistor if needed.
Motor overheatingOverload/coolingCheck load; adjust electronic thermal protection setting.
Communication errorWiring/settingsVerify communication cable; check baud rate and station number.
Unstable operationParameter settingsPerform auto-tuning; adjust PID and filter settings.

Reset: Press RESET key after fault correction. Use parameter F02 for fault history.
