Counter fault
Vacon · NXP AFE-II Drive
What does F24 mean?
The values displayed on the internal counters of the drive are incorrect or corrupted. This affects the accuracy of operational data logging.
Common Causes
- Corruption of internal memory regions used for counter storage, possibly due to power fluctuations or software errors.
- Internal component failure on the control board responsible for maintaining counter values.
- Firmware bug or software anomaly affecting the accuracy or persistence of counter data.
- Unexpected drive reset cycles or improper shutdown procedures interrupting counter updates.
- Electromagnetic interference (EMI) disrupting data integrity during counter updates.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Perform a power cycle of the drive (turn off, wait 30 seconds, turn on) to attempt to reset the internal counters.
- 2
Attempt to re-initialize the drive to factory default settings (e.g., Parameter P14-22 'Initialization' to '1'). Note: This will erase all parameters and historical counter data.
- 3
Update the drive's firmware to the latest version. This can resolve known software bugs related to counter management.
- 4
If specific counters are accessible (e.g., run time counter in Menu 1-13 'Run time kWh'), attempt to reset them via menu option if available.
- 5
If the fault persists and counter accuracy is critical, the control board may be faulty, requiring drive service or replacement.
