| Er-18 Induction Voltage Error | Cause: The result of Back EMF Constant Tuning (induced voltage) exceeds the allowable setting range. Solution: Double-check the data entered to the T2-oo parameters and restart Auto-Tuning. |
| Er-19 PM Inductance Error | Cause: The induced voltage constant attempted to set a value to E5-08 or E5-09 that is outside the allowable range. Solution: Double-check the data entered to the T2-oo parameters and restart Auto-Tuning. |
| Er-20 Stator Resistance Error | Cause: Stator resistance tuning attempted to set a value to E5-06 that is outside the allowable setting range. Solution: Double-check the data entered to the T2-oo parameters and restart Auto-Tuning. |
| Er-21 Z Pulse Correction Error | Cause & Solution: 1. Motor was coasting when Auto-Tuning was performed. – Make sure the motor comes to a complete stop. Repeat Auto-Tuning. 2. Either the motor or the PG encoder on the motor are not properly wired. – Check the wiring for the motor and the PG encoder. Restart Auto-Tuning. 3. The direction for the PG encoder is set incorrectly, or the number of pulses set for the PG encoder is wrong. – Check the direction and number of pulses set for the PG encoder. Restart Auto-Tuning. 4. PG encoder is damaged. – Check the signal output from the PG encoder attached to the motor. Replace the PG if damaged. 5. Motor inertia is large. – Increase the setting of n8-02 (Pole Attraction Current). 6. Z-Pulse Offset Tuning was performed when b1-04 was set to 1. – Z-Pulse Offset Tuning cannot be performed for a machine with reverse operation prohibited. – If the machine allows reverse operation, set b1-04 to 0 to enable Reverse Operation Selection and then perform Z-Pulse Offset Tuning. 7. Motor vibrates during tuning. – Increase the setting of n8-03, Current Startup Time, and n8-04, Pole Attraction Time. – Decrease the setting of n8-02, Pole Attraction Current. |
| Er-25 High Frequency Injection Parameter Tuning Error | Cause: Motor data was incorrect. Solution: Perform Stationary Auto-Tuning and then perform High Frequency Injection Parameter Tuning again. If the problem continues, high frequency injection control might not be possible with that motor. |
| CoPy Writing Parameter Settings (flashing) | Cause: Parameters are being written to the drive. Solution: This is not an error. |
| CPEr Control Mode Mismatch | Cause: Control mode of the parameters to be loaded onto the drive and the control mode set to the drive do not match. Solution: – Verify the control mode for the parameters to be loaded onto the drive and the control mode on drive to which those parameters will be written. – Set the same control mode using parameter A1-02 and retry. |
| CPyE Error Writing Data | Cause: Failed writing parameters . Solution: Attempt to write parameters again. |
| CSEr Copy Unit Error | Cause: Hardware fault. Solution: Replace the operator or the USB Copy Unit. |
| dFPS Drive Model Mismatch | Cause: The drives used in the copy and write process are not the same model. – The drive from which the parameters were copied is a different model. – The drive to be written to is a different model. Solution: – Verify the model number of the drive from which the parameters were copied and the model of the drive to which those parameters will be written. – Make sure the two drives are the same model and have the same software version. |
| End Task Complete | Cause: Finished reading, writing, or verifying parameters. Solution: This is not an error. |
| iFEr Communication Error | Cause & Solution: 1. A communication error occurred between the drive and the operator or the USB copy unit. – Check the cable connection. 2. A non-compatible cable is being used to connect the USB Copy Unit and the drive. – Use the cable originally packaged with the USB Copy Unit. |
| ndAT Model, Voltage Class, Capacity Mismatch | Cause & Solution: 1. The drive from which the parameters were copied and the drive to which the parameters will be written have different electrical specifications, capacities, are set to different control modes, or are different models. – Make sure model numbers and specifications are the same for both drives. 2. The device being used to write the parameters is blank and does not have any parameters saved on it. – Make sure all connections are correct, and copy the parameter settings onto the USB Copy Unit or the operator. |
| rdEr Error Reading Data | Cause: Failed while attempting to read parameter settings from the drive. Solution: Press and hold the READ key on the USB Copy Unit for at least one second to have the unit read parameters from the drive. |
| rEAd Reading Parameter Settings (flashing) | Cause: Displayed while the parameter settings are being read onto the USB Copy Unit. Solution: This is not an error. |
| vAEr Voltage Class Capacity Mismatch | Cause: The drive from which the parameters were copied and the drive on which the Verify mode is being performed have different electrical specifications or are a different capacity. Solution: Make sure electrical specifications and capacities are the same for both drives. |
| vFyE Parameter settings in the drive and those saved to the copy function are not the same | Cause: Indicates that parameter settings that have been Read and loaded onto the Copy Unit or Digital Operator are different. Solution: To synchronize parameters, either write the parameters saved on the USB Copy Unit or digital operator onto the drive, or Read the parameter settings on the drive onto the USB Copy Unit. |
| vrFy Comparing Parameter Settings (flashing) | Cause: The Verify mode has confirmed that parameters settings on the drive and parameters read to the copy device are identical. Solution: This is not an error. |
