Code Error message shown Sub-code Description on the display Solution: - Reduce the motor load. - Increase the size of the motor. Condition: Braking resistor overload alarm. The current absorbed by the resistor is greater than the rated current. Bres overload [BOL] Solution: - Check the size of the braking resistor.

Solution: Contact Gefran in order to update the firmware on the optional encoder card. Condition: an optional card has been removed with respect to the configuration present when the last Save parameters command was executed or there Opt cfg change [OCFG] is a fault on the optional card or on the regulation card.
When this has been signalled the information obtained from the encoder is not reliable. Solution: Contact Gefran in order to update the firmware on the optional card. If an error occurs during the setup phase, "Encoder error" is displayed with subcode 0x0100 - 256 (Setup error).

A.2 Encoders and Phasing A.2.1 Encoders Encoders provide motor speed and position feedback The regulation algorithms in the VDL200 drive are capable of controlling asynchronous motors and may or may not use the speed measurement obtained from the encoder reading. Possible configurations are summarised in the table: Asynchronous VDL200...
A.2.2 Phasing In order for the VDL200 Brushless regulation algorithm to function correctly, it is necessary to know the position of the rotor with respect to the stator power phases. Therefore the 0° position provided by the absolute encoder must be known with respect to the position of a motor pole and the encoder count direction must match the motor power phases.
A.3 - Brake monitoring system (A3 Amendment) A.3.1 Introduction The brake monitoring function in the VDL200 series enables implementation of the automatic brake monitoring function as required by EN81-1 A.3 §9.11.3. Two functional elements are required to implement the brake monitoring function: 1.
