Auxiliary Input
Allen-Bradley · PowerFlex 4M Adjustable Frequency
¿Qué significa F2 ?
This fault indicates that an external auxiliary input, often configured as a safety interlock or enable signal, is currently open or inactive when the drive expects it to be closed. This condition prevents the drive from operating and is typically a protective measure. An unresolved open interlock will stop the drive, potentially indicating a safety bypass or an issue with an external control device.
Causas comunes
- Safety interlock device (e.g., guard door switch, E-stop button) is open or faulty, preventing input contact closure.
- Broken wire or loose connection on the auxiliary input circuit (e.g., terminal T1, T2) between the safety device and the drive.
- Auxiliary input device itself (e.g., limit switch, pressure switch, light curtain) has failed internally or is misaligned.
- External control circuit (e.g., PLC output, relay) is not providing the expected 24VDC signal to the drive's auxiliary input.
Pasos de reparación & Lista de verificación
Haga clic en los pasos para seguir su progreso.
- 1
Verify all safety interlocks (e.g., E-stops, guard doors) are in their closed or 'safe' position.
- 2
Measure the voltage across the drive's auxiliary input terminals (e.g., D-IN0, COM) to confirm the presence of the expected signal (e.g., 24VDC).
- 3
Inspect the wiring from the auxiliary input device to the drive's input terminals for continuity and secure connections.
- 4
Manually actuate the auxiliary input device (if safe to do so) and confirm its contact closure using a multimeter.
- 5
If the input is controlled by a PLC, verify the PLC output status and confirm correct wiring to the drive's auxiliary input.
