| dv3 Inversion Detection | Cause: The torque reference and acceleration are in opposite directions from one another (one is in reverse and the other is forward) while at the same time the speed reference and actual motor speed differ by over 30% for the number of pulses set to F1-18. Solution: 1. The Z pulse offset is not set properly to E5-11. – Set the value for Δθ to E5-11 as specified on the motor nameplate. Replacing the PG encoder or changing the application so that the motor rotates in reverse instead requires readjustment of the Z pulse offset. (T2-01 = 3) 2. An external force on the load side has caused the motor to move. – Make sure the motor is rotating in the right direction. – Look for any problems on the load side that might be causing the motor to rotate in the opposite direction. 3. Electrical signal interference along the PG cable affecting the A or B pulse. – Rewire the PG encoder and make sure all lines including shielded line are properly connected. 4.

Set the number of pulses to trigger inverse detection to F1-19. Solution: 1. The Z Pulse offset is not set properly to E5-11 – Set the value for Δθ to E5-11 as specified on the motor nameplate. – If the problem continues after cycling power, replace the PG option card or the PG encoder. Replacing the PG encoder or changing the application to rotate the motor in reverse requires readjustment of the Z-pulse offset. (T2-01 = 3) 2. Electrical signal interference along the PG cable affecting the A or B pulse – Make sure the motor is rotating in the proper direction. – Identify and fix any problems on the load side causing the motor to rotate in the opposite direction. 3. PG encoder is disconnected, improperly wired, or the PG option card or PG encoder are damaged – Rewire the PG encoder and properly connect all lines including shielded line. – If the problem continues after cycling power, replace the PG option card or the PG encoder. |

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. |
