Torque/force actual value limit active

What does E8040 mean?

The actual torque or force developed by the motor has reached its configured limit. This warning indicates that the motor is operating at its maximum allowed output for torque/force.

• Motor running under excessive mechanical load, causing it to reach its torque limit.
• Torque limit parameter set too low for the application requirements.
• Mechanical binding or obstruction in the system, increasing required torque.
• Drive parameter for current/torque limit incorrectly set.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Verify the mechanical load on the motor and ensure it is within the continuous torque capability of the motor and drive.

2. 2

   Check the drive's torque limit parameter and adjust if necessary, ensuring it is appropriate for the application.

3. 3

   Inspect the mechanical system for any binding, misalignment, or excessive friction that could increase the required torque.

4. 4

   Monitor the actual motor current and torque values during operation to understand the load conditions.
