  • Adjust Back Spin Timer b1-11 to the desired delay time. The drive will start normally after the timer expires.


oPE01

Drive Capacity Setting Fault

Cause:

The drive model selection (o2-04) and the actual capacity of the drive are not the same.



Remedy:


  • Correct the value set to o2-04.


oPE02

Parameter Range Setting Error

Cause:

Parameters were set outside the possible setting range. (Use U1-18 to find parameters set outside the range).



Remedy:


  • Set parameters to the proper values.

  • Note: When multiple errors occur simultaneously, other errors are given precedence over oPE02.


oPE03

Multi-Function Input Selection Error

Cause:

A contradictory setting is assigned to multi-function contact inputs H1-01 to H1-08.

  • The same function is assigned to two multi-function inputs (Excludes “Not used” and “External Fault”).

  • Up command set but Down command not set (or vice versa).

  • Run/Stop command for 2-wire sequence set, but Forward/Reverse command was not.

  • “Drive Enable” is set to multi-function input S1 or S2.

  • Simultaneous settings of: Up/Down, Hold Accel/Decel Stop, Analog Freq Reference Hold, Offset Frequency Calculations.

  • Up/Down command and PID control enabled simultaneously.

  • NC and NO input conflicts (e.g., External Search Command 1 vs 2, Fast Stop NO vs NC).

  • H2-xx is set to 38 (Drive Enabled) and H1-xx is not set to 6A.





Remedy:


  • Ensure all multi-function inputs are assigned to different functions.

  • Properly set the functions required for use in combination with other functions.

  • Check if contradictory settings have simultaneously been assigned to the multi-function input terminals.

  • Set b5-01 to 0 to disable control PID or disable the Up/Down command.

  • Correct the settings for the multi-function input terminal parameters.


oPE04

Initialization Required, Term <-> Ctrl Chg

Cause:

  • Frequency reference is assigned to pulse train input (b1-01 = 4) and terminal RP is not set for frequency reference input (H6-01 > 0).





Remedy:


  • Reconnect the input option card to the drive.

  • Set H6-01 to 0.


oPE07

Multi-Function Analog Input Selection Error

Cause:

A contradictory setting is assigned to multi-function analog inputs H3-02, H3-10, or H3-06 and PID functions conflict.

At least two analog input terminals are set to the same function.



Remedy:


  • Change the settings to H3-02, H3-10, and H3-06 so that functions no longer conflict.

  • Note: Both 0 (Frequency Reference Bias) and F (Not Used) can be set simultaneously.


(No Code Displayed)

PID Feedback/Pulse Train Conflict

Cause:

The following simultaneous contradictory settings:

  • H3-xx = B (PID Feedback) while H6-01 (Pulse Train Input) = 1 (PID Feedback).

Remedy:


  • Disable one of the PID selections.


oPE09

PID Control Selection Fault

Cause:

PID control function selection is incorrect (Requires b5-01 = 1 to 4).

  • b5-15 is not set to 0.0 (PID Sleep Function Operation Level).

  • The stopping method is set to either DC Injection Braking or coast to stop with a timer.

  • b5-01 is set to 1 or 2 (PID enabled), but lower limit (d2-02) is not 0 while reverse output is enabled.

  • b5-01 is set to 3 or 4 (PID enabled), but lower limit (d2-01) is not 0.





Remedy:


  • Set b5-15 to a value other than 0.0.

  • Set the stopping method to coast to stop or ramp to stop (b1-03 = 0 or 1).

  • Correct the parameter settings for d2-01 or d2-02.


oPE10

oPE11

Carrier Frequency Setting Error

Cause:
