F033

Auto Rstrt Tries

Allen-Bradley · PowerFlex 520-series Adjustable Frequency AC Drive

What does F033 mean?

The drive has exhausted its programmed number of automatic restart attempts (A541 [Auto Rstrt Tries]) after an initial fault, but the underlying fault condition persists. This indicates a recurring problem that the drive cannot self-clear, requiring manual intervention to diagnose and resolve the root cause.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Identify and correct the specific fault that is continuously reoccurring (e.g., F007 Motor Overload, F005 OverVoltage) by checking the drive's fault history.

  2. 2

    After resolving the root cause, manually clear the fault from the drive to allow it to restart normally.

  3. 3

    If the auto-restart feature is frequently triggering, reconsider the A541 [Auto Rstrt Tries] setting and the drive's environment for chronic issues.
