Error applying parameter value

What does 30008 mean?

Errors have occurred during a parameter table download or during startup, preventing some parameters from being applied correctly. The controller's status display will flash 'E' only. This error is commonly associated with parameter file (.ptx) issues, particularly when generated from older firmware versions with different parameters or parameter limits. The Error Log provides specific details of the failures.

Common Causes

  • Incompatibility between the parameter file (.ptx) and the drive's current firmware version or model.
  • The parameter file was generated from an older firmware version with different parameter definitions or limits.
  • Corruption of the parameter file during creation or transfer.
  • An internal controller issue during the process of applying parameter values.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Connect to the drive with Mint Workbench and review the Error Log for specific guidance on the affected parameters.

  2. 2

    Verify that the parameter file (.ptx) being used is compatible with the drive's current firmware version and specific model (e.g., MotiFlex e180, MicroFlex e190).

  3. 3

    If the parameter file was created with an older software version, regenerate it using the latest Mint Workbench compatible with the drive's firmware.

  4. 4

    Check individual parameter settings mentioned in the error log to ensure they are within their allowed ranges and types.

  5. 5

    Attempt to load a known good or factory default parameter set to rule out parameter file corruption.
