F208

UL The motor type has changed

Indramat · DIAX 04

What does F208 mean?

The DIAX04 SSE-03VRS drive detected a change in the configured motor type, or the actual motor connected does not match the stored parameters. This fault prevents operation to ensure the drive's control algorithms are correctly matched to the connected motor's electrical and mechanical characteristics, preventing damage or improper control.

Common Causes

  • A different motor was connected to the DIAX04 SSE-03VRS drive without updating motor parameters.
  • Motor parameters (e.g., S-0-0110, S-0-0111, S-0-0112) in the drive were accidentally changed or corrupted.
  • The motor's identification data, if using automatic recognition, is not consistent.
  • Faulty motor feedback or encoder leading to misidentification.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify that the motor connected to the DIAX04 SSE-03VRS matches the motor parameters configured in the drive.

  2. 2

    Check motor nameplate data and compare it with drive parameters (e.g., S-0-0110, S-0-0111, S-0-0112). Correct any discrepancies.

  3. 3

    If a new motor has been installed, perform a complete motor auto-identification or manually input all motor data.

  4. 4

    Inspect motor feedback cabling and connections for damage or looseness; ensure correct encoder type is selected.

  5. 5

    If motor data is verified correct, try reloading default parameters and reconfiguring the drive.
