Fault Descriptions
The set of possible faults is described below. For details on limits and ranges, see
Fault Levels (p. 55)
.
Fault Description
Fault Occurs When…
Fault is Corrected When…
*Amplifier Over Temperature Amplifier's internal power module
temperature exceeds specified
temperature.
Power module temperature falls below
specified temperature.
Motor Phasing Error
Encoder-based phase angle does not
agree with Hall switch states. This fault can
occur only with brushless motors set up
using sinusoidal commutation. It does not
occur with resolver feedback or with Halls
correction turned off.
Encoder-based phase angle agrees
with Hall switch states. See
Troubleshooting Manual Phase With
Halls and Encoder
(p.148)
.
*Feedback error
Over current condition detected on output
of the in5 Vdc supply used to
power the feedback. Resolver or analog
encoder not connected or levels out of
tolerance.
Encoder power returns to specified
voltage range.
Feedback signals stay within specified
levels.
*Motor Over Temperature
Motor over-temperature switch changes
state to indicate an over-temperature
condition.
Temperature switch changes back to
normal operating state.
Under Voltage
+DC bus voltage falls below specified
voltage limit.
+ DC bus voltage returns to specified
voltage range.
Over Voltage
+ DC bus voltage exceeds specified
voltage limit.
+ DC bus voltage returns to specified
voltage range.
*Following Error
User set following error threshold
exceeded.
See
Position and Velocity Errors (p. 38)
.
*Short Circuit Detected
Output to output, output to ground, internal
PWM bridge fault.
Short circuit has been removed.
Over Current (Latched)
Output current I^2T limit has been
exceeded.
Amplifier is reset and re-enabled.
*Latched by default.
