Device added (default param.)

What does F45 mean?

An option board of a different type has been added to the drive, causing the drive to load default parameters. This indicates a change in hardware configuration that requires re-parameterization.

• Installation of a new option board (e.g., I/O extension, fieldbus adapter, encoder feedback) into the drive.
• Replacement of an existing option board with a different type or version.
• Accidental removal and re-insertion of an option board, causing the drive to re-detect it.
• Option board or drive control board failure causing incorrect identification of hardware.
• Firmware incompatibility between the drive and the newly installed option board.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Verify that the newly installed option board is the correct type and compatible with the drive model and firmware version.

2. 2

   If the option board was intentionally added, reload the application parameters from a backup file (e.g., using Drive Composer or control panel). The drive loaded defaults to protect against incorrect operation.

3. 3

   If no new option board was added, cycle power to the drive. Remove and re-seat all existing option boards to ensure proper connection.

4. 4

   If the fault persists without any hardware changes, the drive's control board or an existing option board may be faulty, causing misidentification.

5. 5

   Check the drive's diagnostic messages for specific option board identification (e.g., Menu 15-XX 'Option board status') to pinpoint which slot/board is causing the detection event.
