015

Multi-step Speed Reference 0 Exceeds Upper Limit

Omron · MX2 Inverter

What does 015 mean?

This warning occurs if the frequency set for Multi-step speed reference 0 (A020) or the output frequency setting (F001) is higher than the configured frequency upper limit (A061). This creates a logical conflict in the drive's speed constraints, as a programmed speed is above the allowed maximum.

Common Causes

  • A020 (Multi-step Speed Ref 0) was manually configured to a value exceeding A061 (Frequency Upper Limit).
  • A061 (Frequency Upper Limit) was inadvertently lowered to a value below the intended operating point of A020.
  • An external frequency command (driving F001) is scaled incorrectly or experiencing noise, causing it to momentarily exceed A061.
  • Restoration of an incompatible parameter set where A020 was saved with a higher value than the current A061.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Access parameter A020 (Multi-step Speed Reference 0) and A061 (Frequency Upper Limit). Compare their values.

  2. 2

    Adjust A020 (Multi-step Speed Reference 0) to be less than or equal to A061 (Frequency Upper Limit).

  3. 3

    Alternatively, if the application requires A020 to be higher, increase A061 (Frequency Upper Limit) to be equal to or greater than A020, ensuring A061 does not exceed A004 (Inverter Max Frequency).

  4. 4

    If F001 (Output Frequency) is causing the issue, verify the scaling of any external analog frequency references (e.g., 0-10VDC input to terminals X2-1/X2-2) and ensure the source is stable and within expected range.

  5. 5

    Save the parameter changes and power cycle the drive to confirm the settings are active.
