44

Adjustable current limitation exceeded

SEW Eurodrive · MOVIMOT MM..D With AC Motor DRS

What does 44 mean?

The drive has operated at its set current limit for longer than 500 ms when additional function 2 (adjustable current limitation) is active and the monitoring function is in effect (above 15 Hz). This indicates the motor is drawing too much current.

Common Causes

  • Drive operating at the current limit for more than 500 ms while additional function 2 (adjustable current limitation) is active and monitoring is enabled (above 15 Hz)
  • Current limit setting (Imax % of IN) via switch f2 on S2 is too low for the application's load

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Check the current limit setting using switch f2 on S2 (detent settings 0-10 correspond to 90-160% of IN) and adjust if appropriate for the application

  2. 2

    Reduce the load on the drive to prevent current limit activation

  3. 3

    Verify the minimum frequency (2 Hz for RS-485 control) and setpoint f2 (5 Hz for binary control) are correctly configured
