This fault is generated when the controller's operating parameters have been reset to their factory default values. While often initiated intentionally, it serves as an indicator that a significant configuration change has occurred, potentially requiring re-commissioning.
Click steps to track your progress.
1. Access the controller's parameter menu and verify values for critical parameters like P1-01 (Maximum Frequency) or P1-03 (Acceleration Time) to confirm default settings.
2. Check the status of digital inputs (e.g., DI3, DI4, DI5) configured for parameter reset functions to ensure none are unintentionally active.
3. If a parameter backup file exists (e.g., on an SD card or USB stick), reload the last known good configuration.
4. Monitor the controller's supply voltage (e.g., 24VDC control power) for stability and absence of transients using a voltmeter or oscilloscope.
5. If a backup battery is present, measure its voltage and replace if below specified levels (e.g., 3.0VDC for a CR2032 type).
