Fault and Warning Messages

Fault and warning messages AKD2G

A Fault is generally a notification of a critical system failure which will stop machine operation. 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.

Safety

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 parameter: AXIS#.FAULTS, where # is the Axis number. For retrieving warnings use AXIS#.WARNINGS, or DRV.WARNINGS.

Multiple faults may be present when a fault condition is occurring. Check the WorkBench Fault Screen or read the status of DRV.FAULTS and AXIS#.FAULTS 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.

Eliminate errors and faults in compliance with work safety rules. Troubleshooting only by qualified and trained staff.
