Yaskawa Z1000 Faults and Alarms

[benklassne]

Troubleshooting the Yaskawa Z1000. Conditions such as overvoltages can trip faults and alarms so the display is your guide obviously.

It is important to distinguish between faults and alarms to determine the proper corrective actions. When the drive detects a fault, the ALM indicator LED lights, the fault code appears on the HOA keypad, and the fault contact MA-MB-MC triggers. An alarm is present if the ALM LED blinks and the fault code on the HOA keypad flashes. Refer to Minor Faults and Alarms in the manual for a list of alarm codes.
