Troubleshooting

Drive does not Respond to Changes in Speed Command

Motor and/or Drive will not Accelerate to Commanded Speed

Motor Operation is Unstable

Drive will not Reverse Motor Direction

Cause(s)

Indication

Corrective Action

No value is coming from the source of the
command.

LCD HIM Status Line
indicates “At Speed” and
output is 0 Hz.

1. If the source is an analog input, check

wiring and use a meter to check for
presence of signal.

2. Check [Commanded Speed] for correct

source (see

page 20

).

Incorrect reference source has been
programmed.

None

3. Check [Speed Ref Source] for the source of

the speed reference (see

page 39

).

4. Reprogram [Speed Ref A Sel] for correct

source (see

page 25

).

Incorrect reference source is being selected
via remote device or digital inputs.

None

5. Check [Drive Status 1], (see

page 38

), bits

12 and 13 for unexpected source selections.

6. Check [Dig In Status], (see

page 40

) to see if

inputs are selecting an alternate source.

7. Reprogram digital inputs to correct “Speed

Sel x” option (see

page 53

).

Cause(s)

Indication

Corrective Action

Acceleration time is excessive.

None

Reprogram [Accel Time x] (see

page 30

).

Excess load or a short acceleration time
forces the drive into current limit, slow, or
no acceleration.

None

Check [Drive Status 2], bit 10 to see if the drive is in
Current Limit (see

page 38

).

Remove excess load or reprogram [Accel Time x] (see

page 30

).

Speed command source or value is not as
expected.

None

Check for the proper Speed Command using the steps
outlined in “Drive does not Respond to Changes in
Speed Command” ab
ove.

Programming is preventing the drive output
from exceeding limiting values.

None

Check [Maximum Speed] (see

page 24

) and [Maximum

Freq] (see

page 22

) to assure that speed is not limited

by programming.

Cause(s)

Indication

Corrective Action

Motor data was incorrectly entered or
Autotune was not performed.

None

1. Correctly enter motor nameplate data.
2. Perform “Static” or “Rotate” Autotune procedure

(see

page 23

).

3. Set gain parameters to default values.

Cause(s)

Indication

Corrective Action

Digital input is not selected for reversing
control.

None

Check [Digital Inx Sel], (see

page 53

). Choose correct

input and program for reversing mode.

Digital input is incorrectly wired.

None

Check input wiring.

Direction mode parameter is incorrectly
programmed.

None

Reprogram [Direction Mode], (see

page 35

) for analog

“Bipolar” or digital “Unipolar” control.

Motor wiring is improperly phased for
reverse.

None

Check for single phasing on the output of the drive.

A bipolar analog speed command input is
incorrectly wired or signal is absent.

None

1. Use meter to check that an analog input voltage is

present.

2. Check wiring.
Positive voltage commands forward direction. Negative
voltage commands reverse direction.
