About Alarms

Alarms indicate conditions that may affect drive operation or
application performance.

There are two alarm types, as described in table 13.2.

The drive indicates alarm conditions in the following ways:

• Ready LED on the drive cover (see table 13.1).

• Alarm name and bell graphic on the LCD OIM (see chapter 9).

The alarm is displayed as long as the condition exists. The drive
automatically clears the alarm when the condition causing it is
removed.

• Alarm status parameters. Two 16-bit parameters, Drive Alarm 1

(211) and Drive Alarm 2 (212), indicate the status of type 1 and
type 2 alarms, respectively. Refer to chapter 12 for the parameter
descriptions.

Alarm Description

User-Configurable

These alarms alert the operator of conditions
that, if left untreated, may lead to a fault
condition. The drive continues to operate
during the alarm condition.

The alarms are enabled or disabled using
Alarm Config 1 (259).

The status of these alarms is shown in Drive
Alarm 1 (211).

Non-Configurable

These alarms alert the operator of conditions
caused by improper programming and prevent
the drive from starting until the problem is
resolved.

These alarms are always enabled.

The status of these alarms is shown in Drive
Alarm 2 (212).
