EF4
External Fault (input terminal S4)
External fault at multi-function input terminal S4.
EF5
External Fault (input terminal S5)
External fault at multi-function input terminal S5.
EF6
External Fault (input terminal S6)
External fault at multi-function input terminal S6.
EF7
External Fault (input terminal S7)
External fault at multi-function input terminal S7.
EF8
External Fault (input terminal S8)
External fault at multi-function input terminal S8.
Cause Possible Solution
An external device tripped an alarm function Remove the cause of the external fault and reset the fault.
Wiring is incorrect
• Properly connect the signal lines to the terminals assigned for external fault detection
(H1-oo = 20 to 2B).
• Reconnect the signal line.
Multi-function contact input setting is
incorrect
• Check for unused terminals set for H1-oo = 20 to 2B (External Fault).
• Change the terminal settings.
Digital Operator Display Fault Name
Err
EEPROM Write Error
Data cannot be written to the EEPROM
FAn
Internal Fan Fault
Fan or magnetic contactor failure
FbH
Excessive PID Feedback
PID feedback input is greater than the level set to b5-36 for longer than the time set to b5-37. Set b5-12
to 2 or 5 to enable fault detection.
FbL
PID Feedback Loss
PID feedback loss detection is programmed to trigger a fault (b5-12 = 2 or 5) and the PID feedback level
is below the detection level set to b5-13 for longer than the time set to b5-14.
GF
Ground Fault
• A current short to ground exceeded 50% of rated current on the output side of the drive.
• Setting L8-09 to 1 enables ground fault detection.
Cause Possible Solution
Motor insulation is damaged
• Check the insulation resistance of the motor.
• Replace the motor.
A damaged motor cable is creating a short
circuit
• Check the motor cable.
• Remove the short circuit and reapply power to the drive
• Check the resistance between the cable and the ground terminal .
• Replace the cable.
Excessive leakage current at the drive output
• Reduce the carrier frequency.
• Reduce the amount of stray capacitance.
The drive performed a current offset
adjustment while the motor was rotating
• The set value exceeds the allowable setting range while the drive automatically adjusts the current
offset. This generally only happens when attempting to restart a PM motor that is coasting to stop.
• Set b3-01 to 1 to enable Speed Search at Start.
• Perform Speed Search 1 or 2 (H1-oo = 61 or 62) via one of the external terminals.
Note: Speed Searches 1 and 2 are the same when using OLV/PM.
Hardware problem
If the problem continues, replace the control board or the entire drive. Contact Yaskawa or a Yaskawa
representative for instructions on replacing the control board.
