9.4 Fault and Warning Messages
9.4.1 Fault and warning messages AKD2G
A Fault is generally a notification of a critical system failure which will stop machine oper-
ation. Depending on the severity of the fault will depend on which system-stop mechanism is
used.
A Warning is generally a notification to the user which is not critical and does not require the
machine to immediately shut off.
Faults and Warnings follow the same pattern and are identified by a four digit code:
G G X X
where GG is a two digit group code, and XX is a two digit ID.
The display on the front panel of the drive shows the code of the fault or warning that
occurred. Navigate with B1 / B2 to the Fault screen to see a short description of the fault or
warning.
You can retrieve faults on a per-axis basis with the keyword: AXIS#.FAULTS, where # is the
Axis number.
Multiple faults may be present when a fault condition is occurring. Check the AKD2G
WorkBench Fault Screen or read the status of DRV.FAULTS and AXIS#.FAULTS through
the controller or HMI for the entire list of faults.
DRV.FAULTS will return all faults across all Axes, with the format #-GGXX where # is the
axis number and GGXX is the four digit fault/warning code.
Retrieving Warnings is very similar, you can use AXIS#.WARNINGS, or DRV.WARNINGS.
Eliminate errors and faults in compliance with work safety rules. Troubleshooting only by
qualified and trained staff.
More information about fault messages, remedy and clearing faults can be found in the
WorkBench online help.
