A failure has occurred in the keypad membrane or its connection to the control module. This means the drive's local human-machine interface (HMI) is malfunctioning, preventing manual operation, parameter changes, or fault clearing from the keypad.
Click steps to track your progress.
1. Power down the drive, then carefully remove the keypad membrane (if detachable) and inspect its backside and connection for visible damage or contamination.
2. Clean the flexible flat cable (FFC) connector and the corresponding slot on the control module with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free swab.
3. Re-seat the keypad membrane's FFC firmly into its connector on the control module, ensuring correct orientation.
4. If a spare keypad is available, replace the existing keypad with the new one and test all buttons for responsiveness.
5. Attempt to operate the drive and change parameters using a remote Human Interface Module (HIM) or software (e.g., Connected Components Workbench) to bypass the local keypad.
