Faults and Alarms

If a fault or alarm condition exists, it will be annunciated on the keypad. The control software and
hardware sense faults and alarms, and store them within the alarm/fault log and the event log.
Faults are either detected via direct hardware sensing or by software algorithm.
The cell control system logic senses cell faults. The cell control system logic is located on the cell
control board in each output power cell. Each power cell has its own sense circuitry. The control
software interprets the cell faults and displays them and logs them based on the faulted cell and
the specific fault within the cell.
All faults will immediately inhibit the drive from running and remove power from the drive to the
motor. Some faults that are user defined can control the drive response via the SOP. Alarms are
annunciated and logged but usually do not inhibit the drive from operation.
Refer to the following table, to determine the drive response for the various fault and alarm
conditions.
High Voltages
Disabling the drive does not necessarily remove voltage form the motor terminals.
The motor, especially if spinning, may have residual voltage on the terminals, and anything
connected to them.
Always adhere to the five safety rules and safety measures in Chapter Safety Notes.
