Anyone have a list of AC Tech drive faults? I have a tattered manual, just looking for a better version of the drive faults. i think AC Tech faults are similar on the different drives.

List if AC Tech Faults

This is a list of some of the AC Tech warnings and status messages. I am working on a list of faults or alarms for troubleshooting and diagnostic purposes. I'm not sure on the scope of which drives these messages applied to, but I believe they match up with many from their catalog.

Status Messages (Warnings):


  • br: DC-injection brake active  Cause: DC-injection brake activated Remedy: Deactivate DC-injection brake, deactivate digital input

  • bF: Drive ID warning Cause: The Drive ID (P502) stored on the EPM does not match the drive model. Remedy: Verify motor data (P302. . .P306) and perform Auto Calibration

  • CAL: Motor Auto-calibration active  Cause: Refer to P300, P399  Remedy: Motor Auto-calibration is being performed

  • cE: An EPM that contains valid data from a previous software version has been installed  Cause: An attempt was made to change parameter settings  Remedy: Parameter settings can only be changed after the EPM data is converted to the current version

  • CL: Current Limit (P171) reached  Cause: Motor overload  Remedy: Icrease P1 71, Verify drive/motor are proper size for application

  • dEC: Decel Override Cause: The drive has stopped decelerating to avoid tripping into HF fault
    Remedy: If drive trips into HF fault: Increase P1 05, P1 26, or Install Dynamic Braking option

  • Err: Error  Cause: Invalid data was entered, or an invalid command was attempted Remedy:

  • FCL: Fast Current Limit Cause: Overload  Remedy: Verify drive/motor are proper size for application

  • FSt: Flying Restart Attempt after Fault  Cause: P110 = 5,6 Remedy: P110 = 5,6

  • OE: OEM Settings Operation warning Cause: An attempt was made to change parameter settings while the drive is operating in OEM Settings mode. Remedy: In OEM Settings mode (P199 = 1), making changes to parameters is not permitted.

  • OF: OEM Defaults data warning Cause: An attempt was made to use (or reset to) the OEM default settings (P1 99 = 1 or 2) using an EPM without valid OEM data. Remedy: Install an EPM containing valid OEM Defaults data

  • LC: Fault Lockout  Cause: Remedy:

  • PdEf: PID Deceleration Status Cause: PID setpoint has finished its ramp but the drive is still decelerating to a stop.  Remedy: ??

  • PId: PID Mode Active Cause: Drive has been put into PID Mode. Remedy: Refer to P200

  • SLP: Sleep Mode is active Cause: Refer to P240...P242  Remedy:

  • SP: Start Pending  Cause: The drive has tripped into a fault and will automatically restart (P110 = 3.. .6) Remedy: To disable Auto-Restart, set P1 10 = 0...2 

  • SPd: PID Mode disabled. Cause: Drive has been taken out of PID Mode. Refer to P200.  Remedy:

  • StoP: Output frequency = 0 Hz (outputs U, V, W inhibited)  Cause: Stop has been commanded from the keypad, terminal strip, or network Remedy: Apply Start command (Start Control source depends on P100)

Thanks, this is sort of what I was looking for. i would really like to see a list of the F codes that they use. 
F_dbF, F_F2, F_F3, F_F4, F_F5, etc.
