Remedy
Check the following:
Supply voltage (P0210) must lie within limits indicated on
•
rating plate.
Ramp-down time (P1121) must match inertia of load.
•
Required braking power must lie within specified limits.
•
Vdc controller must be enabled (P1240) and parameterized properly.
•
Note:
Regenerative mode can be caused by fast ramp downs or if the
motor is driven by an active load.
Higher inertia requires longer ramp times; otherwise, apply brak-
ing resistor.
Check supply voltage.
Check the following:
Load or load cycle too high?
•
Motor power (P0307) must match converter power (r0206)
•
Pulse frequency must be set to default value
•
Surrounding temperature too high?
•
Fan must turn when converter is running
•
Check the following:
Load cycle must lie within specified limits.
•
Motor power (P0307) must match converter power (r0206)
•
Note: F5 cannot be cleared until the converter overload utilization
(r0036) is lower than the converter I
Check the following:
Load or load step too high?
•
Increase ramp-up time (P1120).
•
Motor power (P0307) must match converter power (r0206).
•
Use setting P0290 = 0 or 2 for preventing F6.
•
Check the following:
Load or load step too high?
•
Motor nominal overtemperatures (P0626 - P0628) must be correct
•
Motor temperature warning level (P0604) must match
•
Check the following:
Motor current is not in excess of the motor nominal current as
•
indicated by the motor rating plate
Physical temperature of the motor lies within limits
•
If these two conditions are satisfied, then set parameter P0335 = 1.
