When the system equipped with the IPM has stopped and an alarm signal is generated, first carry out
investigations to identify whether the alarm signal was generated from the IPM or the device control
circuit (other than the IPM).
If the alarm signal was generated from the IPM, identify the factor in accordance with the alarm factor
analysis tree chart indicated in Figure 7-2.
Similar to V-IPM, it is possible to identify which protection function is activated by checking the alarm
signal pulse width in X-IPM too. Therefore, the factor analysis time can be shorten.
In addition, the alarm signal output
voltage can be easily measured by connecting a 1.3 KΩ resistor in
series between the IPM alarm signal output terminal and the cathode terminal of the optocoupler.
