Invalid Configuration

What does CFI mean?

This fault occurs when a configuration loaded into the drive, typically via a serial link, is inconsistent or corrupt. This means the drive cannot properly interpret or apply the loaded settings, which will prevent it from functioning correctly and could lead to operational errors.

• Attempted loading of a configuration file from an incompatible drive model or firmware version.
• Data transmission error during configuration upload via a serial link (e.g., Modbus, Ethernet IP).
• The configuration file used for loading is corrupted or incomplete itself.
• Insufficient memory space on the drive for the loaded configuration (rare but possible with very large files).
• Missing critical parameters or incorrect data types within the structure of the loaded configuration.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   1. Verify the source configuration file's compatibility with the drive's specific model and firmware version (e.g., check drive nameplate).

2. 2

   2. Re-attempt loading the configuration file using a verified, error-free serial communication link and software.

3. 3

   3. Load a known good, simple default configuration (e.g., after a parameter reset) to confirm basic drive functionality.

4. 4

   4. Create a new, basic configuration from scratch directly on the drive (using HMI or commissioning software) and save it.

5. 5

   5. If the file is text-based, inspect the loaded configuration file for any obvious data corruption or missing critical blocks.
