16 fault codes documented

0x0001

Event ID Not Used (Reserved)

This event code is reserved and not actively used by the system for application events. Its appearance suggests that an unassigned event ID was triggered or a placeholder is being used inadvertently. Encountering this indicates a potential misconfiguration within the event generation logic.

0x0002

Event Is Not User-Defined

The application event function block attempted to trigger an event ID that is not defined as a user-defined event. This typically means the event ID is outside the designated user-definable range (0xE100-0xE2FF) or has not been configured in the ApplicationParametersAndEvents tool.

0x0003

Event Type Error

The 'EventType' input for the application event function block has been set to an unsupported value. Valid types include Fault (1), Warning (2), and Pure (8). This error indicates an attempt to use an unrecognized event classification, preventing proper logging or processing.

0x0004

Event ID Type Error

The format or data type of the 'ID' input provided to the event function block is incorrect or incompatible with the expected event ID structure. This can occur if the ID is not a WORD data type or falls outside the expected hexadecimal range, leading to a failure in event registration.

0x0005

Event ID Not Used (Reserved)

Similar to 0x0001, this event code is reserved and currently not utilized by the system for specific application events. Its presence points to an event ID being triggered that is a placeholder or has no active definition. This could indicate a misconfigured event source.

0x0006

Unknown Event Type

The event system received a request to handle an event with an 'EventType' that it does not recognize. This is similar to 0x0003 but specifically indicates the system cannot categorize the event based on the provided type, leading to an unregistered event.

10

Parameter Maximum Value Exceeded

An attempt was made to set a parameter's value above its defined maximum limit. This prevents system operation outside safe or intended bounds, crucial for equipment longevity and safety. If the new value is critical, the parameter limits must be expanded.

11

No Value In List

The system attempted to select a value for a list-type parameter that is not available in its predefined list of options. This typically occurs when a discrete parameter is assigned an undefined enumeration value, leading to an invalid configuration.

13

Parameter Not Found

The system attempted to access or modify a parameter using an invalid group or index. This means the specified parameter does not exist in the drive's parameter database, likely due to a typo or incorrect reference in the application code. This will prevent any operation on the intended parameter.

4

Write-Protected Parameter

The system attempted to write a value to a parameter that is currently configured as write-protected. This prevents accidental or unauthorized changes to critical configuration settings. If left unresolved, the desired parameter change will not be applied.

5

Hidden Parameter

The system attempted to access a parameter that is currently configured as hidden. This means the parameter is not visible through standard interfaces, potentially to simplify the user experience or restrict access. This prevents direct interaction with the parameter.

6

Illegal Operation

An operation was attempted on a parameter that is invalid for its type or current state, such as trying to assign a string value to a numeric parameter, or an incorrect parameter type is being used. This prevents data corruption or unexpected behavior within the drive.

774

Outside Index Area

An attempt was made to access a parameter index that falls outside the permissible range for its group. This often happens with array-like parameters where indices are restricted to a specific count (e.g., Motor 1, Motor 2, but attempting to access Motor 3 if only 2 are supported).

775

Overlapping Group

An operation was attempted that would create an overlapping condition between parameter groups, which is not allowed by the system architecture. This can happen when configuring resources that are allocated in blocks, and a new allocation attempts to use an already occupied segment, leading to resource conflict.

777

UFF Error

This is a generic 'UFF error,' indicating an unspecified or internal error related to the User Function Flag system or a similar internal drive component. This often points to a software or firmware issue, or a complex interaction that is not explicitly covered by other error codes, potentially affecting drive functionality.

9

Parameter Minimum Value Exceeded

An attempt was made to set a parameter's value below its defined minimum limit. This protects the system from invalid or unsafe operating points, ensuring operational stability. If the new value is absolutely required, the parameter limits must be adjusted first.
