Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify the motor's maximum rotational speed parameter setting (N-MAX) for the specified axis against the motor nameplate data.

  2. 2

    Check the mechanical integrity of the axis, including bearings, couplings, and guides, for any issues that might restrict or impede speed.

  3. 3

    Review the application's speed requirements to ensure they are within the motor's specified limits and the drive's capabilities.

  4. 4

    Inspect the motor encoder for proper function and accurate feedback, as incorrect speed sensing can lead to this error.
