 Drive-Side Error Codes
Drive-side error codes appear on the drive’s digital operator. Causes of the errors and
corrective actions are listed in
Table E.10 and Table E.8 . For additional error codes, refer to
the technical manual for the drive.
The bUS (Powerlink
Option Communication Error) and EF0 (External Fault Input from the
Powerlink Option) may appear as an alarm or a fault. If they occur as an alarm, the “ALM”
LED on the drive digital operator will blink and the alarm code will flash in the display.
When these occur as a fault, the “ALM” LED will light and the display will show the fault
code.
If communication stops while the drive is running, check the following items:
• Is the Powerlink Option properly installed?
• Is the communication line properly connected to the Powerlink Option? Is it loose?
• Is the controller program working? Has the controller CPU stopped?
• Did a momentary power loss interrupt communications?
 Faults
Table E.10 lists possible faults when using a communication option. The drive’s fault
contact will close if one of these faults occur.

Powerlink Option Communication Error
After establishing initial communication, the connection was lost.
Only detected when the run command or frequency reference is
assigned to the option (b1-01=3 or b1-02=3).
Cause Possible Solution
Master controller (PLC) has stopped
communicating.
Check for faulty wiring.
Correct any wiring problems.
Communication cable is not connected
properly.
A data error occurred due to noise.
Check the various options available to minimize the effects of noise.
Take steps to counteract noise in the control circuit wiring, main circuit
lines, and ground wiring.
If a magnetic contactor is identified as a source of noise, install a surge
absorber to the contactor coil.
Make sure the cable used fulfills the Powerlink
requirements. Ground
the shield on the controller side and on the Powerlink Option side.
Powerlink Option is damaged.
If there are no problems with the wiring and the error continues to
occur, replace the Powerlink
Option.
