LCP data invalid

Danfoss · VLT Micro Drive FC 51

What does 87 mean?

When attempting to copy parameters from the LCP to the drive, the LCP was found to contain erroneous or no valid data. This means the LCP data cannot be reliably transferred to the drive, preventing restoration of settings.

Common Causes

  • LCP internal memory corruption due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) or power spikes.
  • Previous unsuccessful or interrupted parameter save operation to the LCP, leaving incomplete or erroneous data.
  • LCP data was created or saved from a different drive model or software version, leading to structural incompatibility.
  • Ageing or failing LCP internal battery (if applicable) causing data loss during power cycles.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Attempt to re-initialize or format the LCP's internal memory via its menu (if available) before re-attempting a save from a known-good drive.

  2. 2

    Save the current drive configuration (if stable) to a PC via configuration software (e.g., MCT10) and then try loading a known-good configuration from a file to the LCP.

  3. 3

    Verify LCP compatibility with the specific drive model and firmware version (e.g., check drive Parameter 15-05 against LCP specifications).

  4. 4

    If possible, try updating the LCP firmware to the latest compatible version using manufacturer tools.

  5. 5

    Try copying from a different, known-good LCP unit that is confirmed to have valid parameter data.
