F07900 (N, A)
Drive: Motor blocked

Cause: Motor has been operating at the torque limit longer than specified time and below speed threshold.



Remedy:

  • check that the motor can rotate freely.

  • check the torque limit.

  • check the parameter, message “Motor locked”.


F07901

  • Activate pre-control of the speed limiting controller.

  • Increase the hysteresis for the overspeed signal p2162.


F07902 (N, A)
Drive: Motor stalled

Cause: For a vector drive the system has identified that the motor has stalled for a time longer than is set in p2178.

Fault value (r0949, interpret decimal):

1: Reserved.

2: Stall detection using r1408.12 (p1745).

See also: p2178 (Motor stalled delay time)



Remedy:
Steps should always be taken to ensure that both motor data identification and the rotating measurement were carried out (see also p1900, r3925).

  • Check whether the drive stalls solely due to the load in controlled mode or when the speed setpoint is still zero. If yes, then increase the current setpoint using p1610.

  • If the motor excitation time (p0346) was significantly reduced and the drive stalls when it is switched on and run immediately, p0346 should be increased again.

  • Check the current limits (p0640, r0067, r0289). If the current limits are too low, then the drive cannot be magnetized.

  • Check whether a line phase failure is affecting power unit PM230, PM250, PM260.

  • Check whether the motor cables are disconnected.


If there is no fault, then the fault tolerance (p1745) or the delay time (p2178) can be increased.
A07903
Drive: Motor speed deviation

Cause: The absolute value of the speed difference from the setpoint (p2151) and the speed actual value (r2169) exceeds the tolerance threshold (p2163) longer than tolerated (p2164, p2166).

The alarm is only enabled for p2149.0 = 1.

Possible causes could be:

  • the load torque is greater than the torque setpoint.

  • when accelerating, the torque/current/power limit is reached. If the limits are not sufficient, then it is possible that the drive has been dimensioned too small.

  • for closed-loop torque control, the speed setpoint does not track the speed actual value.

  • for active Vdc controller.


For V/f control, the overload condition is detected as the Imax controller is active.

See also: p2149 (Monitoring configuration)



Remedy:

  • increase p2163 and/or p2166.

  • increase the torque/current/power limits.

  • for closed-loop torque control: The speed setpoint should track the speed actual value.

  • deactivate alarm with p2149.0 = 0.
