10031

Heatsink too hot to phase search

ABB · Application Error ABB Motion Drives Error trouble shoo

What does 10031 mean?

The phase search operation has been prevented due to the drive's heatsink temperature exceeding its safe operating limits.

Common Causes

  • Excessive ambient temperature surrounding the drive.
  • Restricted airflow to the drive's heatsink due to obstructions or improper cabinet ventilation.
  • Accumulation of dust and debris on the heatsink fins, reducing cooling efficiency.
  • Sustained high load operation contributing to excessive heat generation.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Allow the drive sufficient time to cool down before attempting phase search or enabling the axis.

  2. 2

    Verify the ambient operating temperature around the drive is within the specified range for the MotiFlex e100/e180 drive series.

  3. 3

    Inspect the drive's heatsink fins for cleanliness and clear any dust or debris accumulation.

  4. 4

    Ensure there is adequate ventilation and unobstructed airflow to the drive's cooling surfaces inside the control cabinet.
