Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
FM-3 Fault
A 3 will be displayed in the segment display on the drive when the FM-3 module experiences
a fault. See the table above for more information about the various faults.
Invalid Configuration
The FM was not on this drive during its previous power-up and it is not known if the setup
data in the FM matches the drive and motor to which the FM is now attached.
This can also happen when a FM is removed from a drive and the drive is powered-up.
To reset the fault, create or open a configuration file with the correct drive and motor
selections and download the configuration to the FM or drive. If you are certain that the setup
data in the FM or drive matches the system configuration, press and hold the drive’s Reset
button for 10 seconds (until the fault is cleared).
Drive instability and resultant property damage may occur to the drive, motor or both if
the fault is cleared using the Reset button when the setup data in the FM does not match
the current drive and motor.
Power Module
This fault is generated when a power stage over-temperature, over-current or loss of power
stage logic supply occurs. This can be the result of a motor short to ground, a short in the
motor windings, a motor cable short or the failure of a switching transistor.
It can also occur if the drive enable input is cycled "Off" and "On" rapidly (>10 Hz).
High DC Bus
This fault will occur whenever the voltage on the DC bus exceeds 440 VDC. The most likely
cause of this fault would be an open shunt fuse, a high AC line condition or an application
that requires an external shunt (that is, a large load with rapid deceleration).
Low DC Bus
This fault will occur whenever the voltage on the DC bus drops below 96 volts. The most
likely cause of this fault is a reduction (or loss) of AC power. A 50 ms debounce time is used
with this fault to avoid faults caused by intermittent power disruption.
