8 TROUBLESHOOTING
!
Warning! High voltages inside Frequency converter. Wait for at least five minutes after the
supply voltage has been switched off before service actions. The display in the operating
condition (lights on) indicates a dangerous voltage on the DC-bus. When display turns off,
the DC-bus voltage is approximately 100V. Note also that there is always a dangerous
voltage in the braking resistor when the DC-bus is charged.
8.1 Field repair actions
The purpose of troubleshooting and field repair actions is primarily to determine whether the drive or
external devices in fact cause the problems. After that, the next step is to detect the possibly damaged
components inside the drive. If any damage inside the drive is caused by the environment (motor failure,
brake failure, power supply problems etc.) it is very important to repair/change faulty items to prevent
reoccurring problems.
The best way to repair a faulty inverter is to replace it with a new one. If the fault can be located, it is also
possible to replace some of the components. When replacing an inverter or a Control unit with a new
one, the parameter list of the existing drive is needed so that the parameter settings can be copied to
new the one.
8.2 Typical functional problems
- Inverter does not start when mains are connected.
Check mains voltage between terminal L1, L2 and L3
- Indicator “Ready” is on and indicator “Fault” is off, but motor does not run.
Check control mode selection
Check voltage at run command terminals
Check state of digital inputs from parameter V2.3
- Indicator “Ready” is on and indicator “Run” is on, but motor does not run.
Check motor cable connection
- Motor runs poorly
Check that load is not over nominal
Check that all cables are connected correctly and the junctions are reliable
Check that all motor dependant parameters are correct
Check the voltage of the slowdown limit switch input
Check state of digital inputs from parameter V2.3
Check that motor’s brake opens completely
Check that minimum speed parameters do not have too small values
For travelling application: check u/f-curve tuning and/or Autotuning. If the main girder is new, it might
be necessary to drive trolley several times with no load from end to end, before beginning of u/f-
curve tuning and/or Autotuning.
- Some parameters are not accessible or changing is not possible
Check that password has value 2156
Check that parameter value is inside the limits
Parameter value can not be changed in RUN state
Parameter value change must be confirmed with “Enter” button
