Epsilon EP-I Indexing Drive and FM-2 Indexing Module Reference Manual
This can also happen when a FM is removed from a drive and the drive is powered-up.
To reset the fault, create or open a configuration file with the correct drive and motor selections and download the
configuration to the FM or drive. If you are certain that the setup data in the FM or drive matches the system configuration,
press and hold the drive’s Reset button for 10 seconds (until the fault is cleared).
Damage may occur to the drive, motor or both if the fault is cleared using the Reset button when the setup data in the FM
does not match the current drive and motor.
Power Module
This fault is generated when a power stage over-temperature, over-current or loss of power stage logic supply occurs. This
can be the result of a motor short to ground, a short in the motor windings, a motor cable short or the failure of a switching
transistor.
It can also occur if the drive enable input is cycled “Off” and “On” rapidly (>10 Hz).
High DC Bus
This fault will occur whenever the voltage on the DC bus exceeds 440 Vdc. The most likely cause of this fault would be an
open shunt fuse, a high AC line condition or an application that requires an external shunt (e.g., a large load with rapid
deceleration).
Low DC Bus
This fault will occur whenever the voltage on the DC bus drops below 60 volts. The most likely cause of this fault is a
reduction (or loss) of AC power. A 50 ms debounce time is used with this fault to avoid faults caused by intermittent power
disruption. For some types of custom motors it may be necessary to disable this fault. Refer to the Advanced Tab section of
Setting Up Parameters for more information.
Encoder State
Certain encoder states and state transitions are invalid and will cause the drive to report an encoder state fault. This is usually
the result of noisy encoder feedback caused by poor shielding. For some types of custom motors it may be necessary to disable
this fault. See Faults view section for more information.
Encoder Hardware
If any pair of encoder lines are in the same state, an encoder line fault is generated. The most likely cause is a missing or bad
encoder connection.
Motor Overtemp
This fault is generated when the motor thermal switch is open due to motor over-temperature or incorrect wiring.
RMS Shunt Power
E Series Only
E
N
This fault is generated when RMS shunt power dissipation is greater than the design rating of the internal shunt.
Overspeed
This fault occurs when the actual motor speed exceeds the Overspeed Velocity Limit parameter. This parameter can be
accessed with PowerTools Pro software.
