Overload of digital output terminal 29

Danfoss · VLT AutomationDrive FC 301/302

What does 41 mean?

The digital output terminal 29 is experiencing an overload condition. This is likely due to excessive current draw from the connected load or a short-circuit, potentially damaging the output circuitry.

Common Causes

  • Short-circuit between digital output terminal 29 and ground (0V) or another supply voltage.
  • Connected load (e.g., indicator lamp, contactor coil) drawing current significantly exceeding the terminal's rated output (e.g., 200mA).
  • Incorrect wiring of the load, causing a direct short across the output transistor of terminal 29.
  • Internal component failure on the control board's digital output stage for terminal 29.
  • Contamination or moisture ingress causing a resistive path between terminal 29 and another conductor.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Disconnect all external wiring from digital output terminal 29.

  2. 2

    Power up the drive and verify if the fault clears; if so, the issue is external to the drive.

  3. 3

    With power off, use a multimeter to measure the resistance between terminal 29 and 0V (terminal 33) to check for a short-circuit.

  4. 4

    Measure the operating current of the connected load (e.g., contactor coil) using a clamp meter, ensuring it is below the terminal's maximum rating (e.g., 200mA).

  5. 5

    Inspect the connected load's wiring for insulation damage or contact with grounded surfaces or other potentials.
