Troubleshooting the Drive Using the OIM
Using the OIM , you can troubleshoot drive problems using one of these methods:
• If a fault or alarm message is displayed, you can use the message and the Fault or
Alarm Menu to identify the problem.
• If the drive is not ready or has stopped, you can use the Diagnostics Menu to
identify the problem.
• If a program error message is displayed, you can use the message to identify the
problem.
7.1 Identifying Problems Indicated by Faults or Alarms
The OIM identifies problems as faults or alarms. A fault is a condition that stops the
drive or prevents it from running. An alarm is a condition that could cause a fault, but
does not stop the drive or prevent it from running.
When a fault or alarm occurs:
• the fault or alarm indicator turns on.
• it is logged (if the log is not full).
• a message is displayed on the OIM screen. Examples are shown in figures 7.1 and
7.2. If a fault and alarm occur at the same time, the fault message is displayed.
When a fault occurs, the drive coasts to a stop, regardless of the setting of STOP MODE
SELECT (P.114). Alarms do not stop the drive.
