CFI

INVALID CONFIG

Schneider Electric · ATV32HD11N4 Variable Speed Drive

What does CFI mean?

This fault indicates that the configuration loaded into the drive via the serial link (e.g., Modbus, USB) is inconsistent or invalid. This can occur if a configuration file from a different drive model or an corrupted file is loaded. If an invalid configuration is used, the drive will not operate correctly, potentially leading to system instability, unexpected movements, or damage to connected equipment.

Common Causes

  • Configuration file loaded via serial link was created for a different drive model or firmware version.
  • Data corruption during the configuration upload process via Modbus, USB, or other serial interface.
  • Network communication error leading to incomplete or erroneous configuration data transfer.
  • Attempting to load a configuration file that contains unsupported parameters for the current drive hardware.
