EPM data: firmware type incompatible

What does 30353 mean?

The parameter settings saved in the memory module are incompatible with the firmware type of the inverter, for example, using an application-specific IO module's memory in a standard IO inverter. This prevents proper operation.

• The EPM contains parameters configured for an application-specific firmware type (e.g., hoist, elevator, specific process control) inserted into a standard firmware type inverter.
• Mismatch between the inverter's internal hardware configuration (e.g., specific option cards, motor type) and the 'firmware type' saved on the EPM.
• Attempting to use an EPM that was configured for a safety-integrated drive variant in a non-safety standard inverter.
• The EPM's saved hardware profile or device identification does not match the actual hardware configuration of the inverter.

1. 1

   1. Verify the specific 'firmware type' of the inverter (often displayed on the HMI or in P-parameters) and compare it against the intended type for the EPM.

2. 2

   2. Ensure the EPM used is for the standard firmware version of the inverter, or if the drive is application-specific, ensure the EPM matches that specific application.

3. 3

   3. Back up the current drive parameters, then perform a factory reset (e.g., P99.02=1 for defaults) to clear incompatible settings and re-download the correct parameters.

4. 4

   4. Use the drive's software tool to compare the EPM's saved configuration with the actual hardware configuration detected by the inverter, identifying discrepancies.

5. 5

   5. Replace the EPM with a new module that is blank or contains a parameter set specifically created for the inverter's current firmware type and hardware configuration.
