SW OverCurrent

What does F63 mean?

A software-detected overcurrent condition has occurred, meaning the instantaneous output current has exceeded the trip level configured by parameter A098 [SWCurrent Trip]. This is a configurable threshold for current monitoring.

• Software algorithm detected motor current exceeding safe operational limits.
• Rapid load changes or transient conditions.
• Motor operating in a stall condition.
• Incorrect motor nominal current setting (P0-10).

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Verify the load requirements of the motor and ensure they are within the drive's continuous operating current capabilities.

2. 2

   Review and adjust parameter A098 [SWCurrent Trip] to ensure it is appropriately set for the application, not exceeding DriveAmps * 2.

3. 3

   Increase acceleration time (parameter P039 [Accel Time1] or A067 [Accel Time2]) to reduce peak currents during motor startup.
