Fault and Warning Messages

Definition

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 following ways will help you identify a system failure:

  1. Visible inspection: See status LED on the front side of the servo drive LED and Push-button B1.
  2. Via Fieldbus: Fault status will be reported to higher level PLC.
  3. Via Service port: Connect the servo drive directly to your PC via USB and identify any errors with WorkBench.

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

More information about fault messages, remedy and clearing faults can be found in the WorkBench User Manual here: Fault and Warning Messages.
