Automatic switch-on

The automatic restart includes two different functions:
1. The inverter automatically acknowledges faults.
2. After a fault occurs or after a power failure, the inverter automatically switches-on the
This automatic restart function is primarily used in applications where the motor is controlled
locally via the inverter's inputs. In applications with a connection to a fieldbus, the central
control should evaluate the feedback signals of the drives, specifically acknowledge faults or
switch-on the motor.
The inverter interprets the following events as power failure:
● The inverter signals fault F30003 (DC link undervoltage), as the line supply voltage of the

WARNING
When the "automatic restart" function is active (p1210 > 1), the motor automatically
starts after a power failure. This is especially critical after longer power failures.
Reduce the risk of accidents in your machine or system to an acceptable level by
applying suitable measures, e.g. protective doors or covers.
