OC5-Trip (I*t Overload)

Kuka · KR C2 Robot Controller

What does 15 mean?

This fault indicates an I*t overload condition. For the KPS-600, it specifically refers to an overload of the brake resistor during operation, suggesting prolonged or heavy braking cycles. For KSDs, it indicates a general I*t overload, meaning the thermal capacity of a component (likely the motor or drive's power stage) has been exceeded over time, risking damage.

Common Causes

  • OC5-Trip: Overload detected based on I*t integral (P1-05).
  • Sustained motor operation near its thermal limit.
  • Motor operating at reduced speed under heavy load for extended periods.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify the motor nominal current setting in the drive parameters matches the motor nameplate FLA.

  2. 2

    Check the acceleration and deceleration ramp times in drive parameters — ensure they are not excessively short for the load inertia.

  3. 3

    Monitor the actual motor load during operation and compare it against the motor's rated capacity.

  4. 4

    For brake resistor overload (KPS-600), verify the sizing and resistance of the brake resistor are appropriate for the application.
