External Fault

Was bedeutet EF0 ?

This fault indicates an external condition has triggered a protective response from the inverter. The specific action taken by the inverter (e.g., ramp to stop, coast to stop, alarm) is determined by parameter F9-03. This is typically activated by an external safety circuit or process interlock.

• Activation of an external safety device (e.g., emergency stop button, external motor thermal overload relay, pressure switch).
• Incorrect wiring of the external fault input (e.g., short or open circuit on the terminal block).
• External fault input parameter (e.g., P5-01 for function, P5-02 for logic) incorrectly configured.
• Failure of the external device itself, causing a false fault signal.
• Interference or noise on the external fault input signal line, leading to an unintended trip.

1. 1

   1. Identify the specific external device connected to the inverter's external fault input terminal (e.g., digital input S1, S2).

2. 2

   2. Inspect the status of the identified external fault device (e.g., emergency stop button pushed, overload relay tripped indicator).

3. 3

   3. Measure continuity or voltage at the inverter's external fault input terminal to confirm the signal state (e.g., 24VDC present/absent).

4. 4

   4. Verify the external fault input parameter (e.g., P5-01 for assigned function, P5-02 for normally open/closed logic) is correctly set.

5. 5

   5. Trace the wiring from the external device to the inverter's input terminal for any breaks, loose connections, or unintentional short circuits.
