Autotuning doesn't support motor type

ABB · Application Error ABB Motion Drives Error trouble shoo

What does 4069 mean?

The desired autotuning procedure is not compatible with the currently configured motor type in the drive. This indicates that the motor data might be incorrect or an unsupported autotuning function was selected for the specific motor.

Common Causes

  • Incorrect motor type selected in the drive parameters (e.g., trying to autotune a synchronous motor with asynchronous settings).
  • Attempting to perform an autotuning function that is not designed for the connected motor type.
  • Missing or incomplete motor data preventing the drive from recognizing compatible autotuning methods.
  • Firmware version does not support the autotuning type for the selected motor.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Check and correct the motor data in the drive parameters to ensure the motor type is accurately configured.

  2. 2

    Consult the drive manual to confirm which autotuning methods are supported for the specific motor type in use.

  3. 3

    Re-enter all motor nameplate data (e.g., power, voltage, current, speed) into the drive parameters.

  4. 4

    If using a custom or less common motor, manually enter motor parameters rather than relying on autotuning if it remains unsupported.
