User-Defined Fault #2

What does 36 mean?

This is a user-configurable fault, indicating a condition defined by the system integrator or user as a critical error. The specific cause depends entirely on the application's programming and external conditions triggering this fault. It requires investigation of the specific machine logic.

• External digital input (e.g., terminal DI-Y) configured via parameter P6-02 to activate Fault 36, triggered by a specific process event (e.g., low-level sensor, door interlock).
• Specific internal logic programmed by the user or integrator (e.g., PLC control) that sets a fault bit corresponding to Fault 36 via serial communication.
• Analog input (e.g., AI-1) signal exceeding a user-defined threshold, triggering the user fault via comparison logic (e.g., P6-03).

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   1. Identify the specific parameter (e.g., P6-02) or internal logic that is configured to trigger Fault 36.

2. 2

   2. Examine the state of the external sensor or input device (e.g., physical switch, analog signal transducer) connected to the identified trigger point.

3. 3

   3. Verify the wiring integrity of the external signal path from the sensor/device to the drive's input terminal.

4. 4

   4. Use a multimeter to measure the voltage or current at the drive's input terminal configured for Fault 36 to confirm its state.

5. 5

   5. Temporarily disable the fault input (e.g., change P6-02 to 0 or disconnect wire from DI-Y) to isolate the external triggering mechanism.
