Troubleshooting the Drive Using Error Codes

Identifying Fatal Fault Codes and Recovering

Fatal fault codes are distinguished by the letter F preceding the code. They
normally indicate a malfunction of the microprocessor on the Regulator board. In
some cases, fatal fault codes can be reset and the drive can be restarted. Table 5.3
lists the fatal codes which can be reset. If any other fault code appears on the
display, you will need to replace the Regulator board.

If the fault code FUE appears in error log entry 0, it indicates a fatal fault occurred
before power was lost. Contact Reliance or observe the drive for subsequent fatal
errors before turning off power. Fatal fault codes are lost after power loss.

Fault Description

Encoder power-up
diagnostic error.

Option port identification
error.

Option board power-up
diagnostic failure.

Option board runtime error.

Fault Cause

Encoder voltage is less than
10 V.

The option board could not
be identified by the
regulator.

Option board has failed one
or more power-up
diagnostics.

During operation, the option
board watchdog failed or
handshaking with the
GV3000/SE drive failed.

Corrective Action

Turn off power to the drive. Disconnect the
encoder wiring from the terminal strip. Turn
power to the drive back on.

If the F3 error does not occur again, the
problem is in the wiring between the drive
and the encoder.

If the F3 error does occur again, the problem
is in the Regulator board, which should be
replaced.

Check the ribbon cable between the
Regulator board and the option board.

Refer to the appropriate option board
instruction manual for more information
about the option board.

Check the ribbon cable between the
Regulator board and the network option
board. Replace the option board if
necessary.

Refer to the appropriate option board
instruction manual for more information
about the option board.

If intermittent, check for causes of noise, for
proper grounding, and that outputs are not
exceeding rated current capacities.

Replace the option board if necessary.
Refer to the appropriate option board
instruction manual for more information
about the option board.
