Remedy:

  • Check NV Media Card is installed / located correctly.

  • Replace the NV Media Card.


177

Remedy:

  • Ensure that Pr 11.042 is correctly set, and then reset the drive to create the necessary file on the NV Media Card.

  • Re-attempt the parameter write to the Menu 0 parameter.


178

Remedy:

  • Erase all the data block and re-attempt the process.

  • Ensure the card is located correctly.

  • Replace the NV Media Card.


184
Card Full

Cause: NV Media Card full. An attempt has been made to create a data block on a NV Media Card, but there is not enough space left on the card.



Remedy:

Cause: NV Media Card data not found. An attempt has been made to access non-existent file or block on a NV Media Card.



Remedy:

  • Ensure data block number is correct.


180

Remedy:

  • Check the value of Pr 06.042.

  • Disable the control word in Control Word Enable (Pr 06.043). Bit 12 of the control word set to a one causes the drive to trip. When the control word is enabled, the trip can only be cleared by setting bit 12 to zero.


225

Current Offset

Cause: The Current Offset trip indicates that the current offset is too large to be trimmed.



Remedy:

  • Ensure that there is no possibility of current flowing in the output phases of the drive when the drive is not enabled

  • Check cable continuity

  • Check wiring of feedback signals is correct

  • Check encoder power supply is set correctly (Pr 03.036)
