Cause

Possible Solutions

OFF

was pressed when the

drive was started from a REMOTE

source.

Pressing

OFF

will decelerate the drive to stop.

• Switch off the Run command and then re-enter a new Run command.

Set o2-02 to 0 to disable

OFF

.

Motor starting torque is too low.

Refer to Motor Performance Fine-Tuning on page 198

.

Frequency reference value is too low

or the drive does not accept the value

entered.

Enter a value that is above the minimum output frequency determined by E1-09.

The sequence Start/Stop sequence is

set up incorrectly.

• If the drive is supposed to be set up for a 2-wire sequence, then ensure parameters H1-03 through H1-07 are not

set to 0.

• If the drive is supposed to be set up for a 3-wire sequence, then one of the parameters H1-03 through H1-07 must

be set to 0. Terminal S1 will become the Start, terminal S2 will become the Stop input.

Motor Rotates in the Opposite Direction from the Run Command

Cause

Possible Solutions

Phase wiring between the drive and motor is incorrect.

• Check the motor wiring.
• Switch two motor cables (U, V, and W) to reverse motor direction.
• Connect drive output terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3 in the right order to match motor

terminals U, V, and W.

• Change the setting of parameter b1-14.

The forward direction for the motor is set up incorrectly.

Typically, forward is designated as being counterclockwise when looking from the motor shaft

(see figure below).

Motor Shaft

The motor is running at almost 0 Hz and the Speed

Search estimated the speed to be in the opposite

direction.

• Disable bi-directional search (b3-14 = 0) so that Speed Search is performed only in the

specified direction.

Note:

Check the motor specifications for the forward and reverse directions. The motor specifications will vary depending on the manufacturer

of the motor.

n

Motor Rotates in One Direction Only

Cause

Possible Solutions

The drive prohibits reverse rotation.

• Check parameter b1-04.
• Set parameter b1-04 to 0 to allow the motor to rotate in reverse.

A Reverse run signal has not been entered, although

3-Wire sequence is selected.

• Make sure that one of the input terminals S3 to S7 used for the 3-Wire sequence has been set

for reverse.

Motor is Too Hot

Cause

Possible Solutions

The load is too heavy.

If the load is too heavy for the motor, the motor will overheat as it exceeds its rated torque value

for an extended period of time.

Keep in mind that the motor also has a short-term overload rating in addition to the possible

solutions provided below:
• Reduce the load.
• Increase the acceleration and deceleration times.
• Check the values set for the motor protection (L1-01, L1-02) as well as the motor rated current

(E2-01).

• Increase motor capacity.

The air around the motor is too hot.

• Check the ambient temperature.
• Cool the area until it is within the specified temperature range.
