Troubleshooting
Chapter 4
Drive does not respond to changes in speed command.
Motor and/or drive will not accelerate to commanded speed.
Motor operation is unstable.
Drive will not reverse motor direction.
Cause(s)
Indication
Corrective Action
No value is coming from the source of the command.
The drive “Run” indicator
is lit and output is 0 Hz.
• Check
[Control Source] for correct source.
• If the source is an analog input, check wiring and use a meter to check for
presence of signal.
• Check
[Commanded Freq] to verify correct command.
Incorrect reference source is being selected by remote device
or digital inputs.
None
• Check
[Control Source] for correct source.
• Check
[Contrl In Status] to see if inputs are selecting an alternate source.
Verify settings for
...
[Digital Inx Sel].
• Check
[Speed Reference] for the source of the speed reference. Reprogram
as necessary.
• Review the Speed Reference Control chart on
.
Cause(s)
Indication
Corrective Action
Acceleration time is excessive.
None
Reprogram
[Accel Time 2].
Excess load or short acceleration times force the drive into
current limit, slowing or stopping acceleration.
None
[Output Current] with
[Current Limit 1].
• Remove excess load or reprogram
[Accel Time 1] or
[Accel Time 2].
• Check for improper
[Boost Select] setting.
Speed command source or value is not as expected.
None
• Verify
[Commanded Freq].
• Check
[Control Source] for the proper Speed Command.
Programming is preventing the drive output from exceeding
limiting values.
None
Check
[Maximum Freq] to ensure that speed is not limited by programming.
Cause(s)
Indication
Corrective Action
Motor data was incorrectly entered.
None
1. Correctly enter motor nameplate data into
and
2. Enable
[Compensation].
3. Use
[Boost Select] to reduce boost level.
Cause(s)
Indication
Corrective Action
Digital input is not selected for reversing control.
None
Check
[Start Source]. Choose correct input
and program for reversing mode.
Digital input is incorrectly wired.
None
Check input wiring (See
Motor wiring is improperly phased for reverse.
None
Switch two motor leads.
Reverse is disabled.
None
[Reverse Disable].
