10042

Drive speed Maximum is out of range (_ecDRIVESPEEDMAX_OUT_OF_RANGE)

ABB · Application Error ABB Motion Drives Error trouble shoo

What does 10042 mean?

The motor velocity has exceeded the value set in the DRIVESPEEDMAX(0) parameter. This indicates that the commanded drive speed is too high for the configured maximum limit or the DRIVESPEEDMAX parameter is set incorrectly.

Common Causes

  • The DRIVESPEEDMAX(0) parameter is set too low for the intended operating speed.
  • The commanded drive speed or velocity reference is excessively high.
  • Incorrect scaling or unit conversion for speed parameters.
  • External control system commanding a speed higher than DRIVESPEEDMAX(0).

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Go to Parameters > Drive > DRIVESPEEDMAX and verify the value is set correctly and appropriately for the application's maximum speed.

  2. 2

    Check the commanded drive speed reference and ensure it is not exceeding the desired maximum.

  3. 3

    Adjust the DRIVESPEEDMAX(0) parameter to a value that safely accommodates the required maximum operating speed, considering mechanical limits.

  4. 4

    Review any scaling parameters or gear ratios that affect the calculation of the drive speed.
