Indications
 Warnings and faults
Warnings and faults indicate an abnormal drive status. The codes and names of
active warnings and faults are displayed on the control panel of the drive as well
as in the Drive composer PC tool. Only the codes of warnings and faults are
available over fieldbus.
Warnings do not need to be reset; they stop showing when the cause of the
