Error Messages

The LED display on the servo drive's front panel displays errors that occur as an error number.
All error messages cause the ready for operation contact to be opened and the servo drive's output stage to be switched off. The motor generates no torque, and the motor's holding brake is applied.

Error
number

Designation

Explanation

F01*

Heatsink temperature

Heatsink temperature too high. Limit value set by the manufacturer to 80° C.

F02*

Overvoltage

Overvoltage in DC link. Limit value depends on the mains voltage.

F03*

Following error

Message from position controller

F04

Feedback

Broken cable, short-circuit, earth short

F05*

Undervoltage

Undervoltage in DC link. Limit value set by the manufacturer to 100V.

F06

Motor temperature

Temperature sensor faulty or motor temperature too high. Limit value set by the manufacturer to 145°C.

F07

Auxiliary voltage

Internal auxiliary voltage not correct

F08*

Overspeed

Motor out of control, rotation speed unacceptably high

F09

EEPROM

The "F09" fault occurs if the checksum for the data and parameters in the EEPROM is not correct (can be caused, for instance, if power is removed from the drive while the parameters are being saved). This error can result either from a faulty EEPROM or from a faulty data checksum. In the second case, the fault can be rectified by saving the data (SAVE) again.

F10

Flash-EPROM

Checksum error

F11

Brake

Broken cable, short-circuit, earth short

F12

Motor phase

A motor phase is missing (broken connection or similar)

F13*

Internal temperature

Internal temperature too high

F14

Output stage

Fault in the power output stage

F15

I²t max.

I²t maximum value exceeded

F16*

Mains BTB

Two or three phases are missing from the supply

F17

A/D converter

Fault in the analog/digital conversion, usually caused by exceptional electromagnetic interference

F18

Ballast

Ballast circuit faulty, or setting not correct

F19*

Mains phase

Absence of a phase from the supply (can be switched off for operation with two phases)

F20

Slot error

Slot error

F21

Handling error

Software error in the extension card

F22

Earth short

Only for 40/70 amp devices: Earth short

F23

CAN Bus off

Serious CAN Bus communication error

F24

Warning

Warning indication is interpreted as an error

F25

Commutation error

Commutation error

F26

Limit switch

Reference transit error (hardware limit switch reached)

F27

AS option

Fault in the operation of the AS option (control of the AS option and the ENABLE signal are present at the same time)

F28

EtherCAT synchronization error

EtherCAT synchronization error (e.g. jitter, double MDT error)

F29

EtherCAT configuration error

EtherCAT configuration error (e.g. Sync Manager parameterization)

F30

Emergency stop timeout

The "F30" error ("Emergency stop timeout") occurs when, in the case of a Stop or of an Emergency stop, the axis cannot physically be brought to a halt within a parameterized time window (default: 5000 ms, see <EMRGTO>) (halt limit <VEL0>: 5 RPM). This error can be triggered if very soft ramps are parameterized in the drive (see <DEC>, <DECSTOP>, <DECDIS>).

F31

Macro error

Error in the macro programming

F32

System error

The "F32" error ("System error") indicates an internal error. This error is generated when the servo drive is switched on if it has not been possible to successfully complete the system check during the initialization phase (see the output from the RS232 serial interface for the exact cause of the error). The error can also occur if the servo drive is too heavily loaded when cycle times a very short (see Runtime optimization).

*) These error messages can be cleared with the CLRFAULT ASCII command without carrying out a reset.
    If only one of these faults is present, and the Reset button is pressed or the Reset I/O function is used,
    then again only the CLRFAULT command will be executed.
