E.6

CPU fault

Mitsubishi Electric · FR E700

What does E.6 mean?

This is a CPU fault that stops the inverter output when a communication fault occurs within the built-in CPU. Specific causes include excessive electrical noise or a short circuit between the PC and SD terminals. This critical internal error prevents safe operation.

Common Causes

  • Excessive electrical noise or electromagnetic interference (EMI) disrupting internal CPU operations or serial communications.
  • Short circuit condition between the PC connection port and the 'S' signal terminal on the control board.
  • Damage to the internal serial communication interface (UART/USART) hardware on the CPU.
  • Improper grounding or ground loop issues affecting serial communication lines.
  • Firmware execution error leading to a CPU watchdog timeout.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Disconnect all external devices from the inverter's communication ports (e.g., PC, PLC, HMI) including RS-485 terminals (RDA, RDB, S).

  2. 2

    Power cycle the inverter completely (remove AC input power for 60 seconds) after disconnecting external communication devices.

  3. 3

    Measure the resistance between the designated 'PC' signal terminal and the 'S' signal terminal to detect a short circuit.

  4. 4

    Inspect the communication cable for physical damage, proper shielding, and correct termination resistors.

  5. 5

    Verify that the 24VDC control power supply voltage is stable and within specified tolerance.
