54

Limit fault

An incorrect limit switch is active, or the frequency is too low to accurately detect the direction of travel for the R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter. This can lead to unexpected stoppages or prevent movement, indicating a problem with limit switch logic or motor speed feedback.

55

Board Fault

A board fault has been detected in the R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter, specifically indicating that the API3 board is either not installed or not functioning correctly. This could be due to power issues, incorrect wiring connections, or a faulty board component.

56

Generator Current Limit/Deceleration Ramp Supervision

The R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter is unable to stop the motor within the configured deceleration ramp due to excessive regenerative current. This fault typically occurs when the motor's kinetic energy during deceleration exceeds the drive's capacity to dissipate it or the braking resistor capacity.

57

Motor Overtemperature

The motor's temperature has exceeded its safe operating limit, or the digital input DIA4, configured for motor overtemperature protection, has been deactivated. Prolonged operation at high temperatures or lack of protection can cause motor insulation damage.

58

Overvoltage Regulator Timeout

The overvoltage regulator circuit within the R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter has been continuously active for more than 5 seconds. This indicates a persistent overvoltage condition that the regulator is struggling to manage, suggesting an ongoing issue with supply voltage or regenerative energy.

59

Overvoltage at Start

An overvoltage condition was detected by the R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter at the moment of starting. This is typically caused by the incoming supply voltage being too high for the drive's specifications, potentially leading to immediate shutdown.

6

External Stop

The External Stop (ES) signal is not active, indicating that the E-stop button has been pressed and needs to be released to resume operation. This is a safety feature designed to halt operations immediately.

60

Power unit fault

The power unit of the R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter has stopped functioning, possibly due to an internal fault or an Emergency Stop (E-stop) activation while the unit was running. This prevents the drive from supplying power to the motor.

61

Overspeed

An overspeed condition has been detected by the R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter, or there is interference affecting the speed signal from the encoder connected to ENC1A. This can lead to uncontrolled motor speed, posing a safety risk if not corrected.

62

Speed difference

A significant speed difference has been detected between expected and actual motor speed, or between different speed feedback channels, by the R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter. This can be caused by mechanical failures, issues with load measurement, or problems with encoder signals (ENC1A, ENC2A-B) including incorrect wiring.

63

Stall

The motor is not running, indicating a stall condition detected by the R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter. This can be due to a mechanical failure in the gear system or a missing speed signal from the encoder connected to ENC1A, preventing the drive from detecting motor movement.

64

Relay

An error has been detected in the ROB1 relay, its test circuit, or the main contactor within the R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter. This indicates a problem with the control or power switching components, preventing the drive from safely controlling motor power.

71

Brake control

An error has been detected within the brake control circuit of the R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter, indicating a malfunction that could prevent the brake from engaging or disengaging properly. This poses a significant safety risk, especially in hoist applications.

73

Both Direction Commands Active

Both direction commands (S1 and S2) are detected as active simultaneously by the R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter. This is a critical safety fault, indicating a malfunction in the control circuit or the pendant controller that could lead to conflicting motor commands.

77

8

System Fault

An internal system fault has occurred within the R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter. This indicates an issue with the drive's internal components or firmware that prevents normal operation and requires intervention.

82

Overload

An overload situation has been detected by the R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter, meaning the load on the motor exceeds its rated capacity. This can be caused by excessive physical load, worn mechanical components like the chain drive, or a faulty/miscalibrated load sensor.

83

Slack wire

The slack wire function has been activated, indicating that the hoisting wire or chain has lost tension. This is a safety mechanism implemented by the R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter to prevent damage to the wire, drum, or load.

84

Clutch supervision

Clutch slipping has been detected in a chain hoist, or there's an issue with the speed feedback from ENC2A-B, by the R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter. This indicates a loss of mechanical integrity or an encoder signal problem, potentially due to worn components or incorrect parameter settings (P8.7).

85

Load Sensor Fault

The load sensor signal is out of its expected operating range, as detected by the R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter. This typically indicates a problem with the sensor itself or its wiring, leading to inaccurate or missing load feedback and potentially unsafe operation.

86

Load not calibrated

The load sensor connected to the R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter has not undergone calibration. This leads to potentially inaccurate load measurements and prevents proper operation of load-dependent functions, which could affect safety and performance.

87

Programmable limit active

A programmable limit is active, which is currently disabling driving in one or both directions for the R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter. This limit is user-defined and can restrict travel based on pre-set parameters, requiring adjustment or temporary bypass.

88

CCU fault

A Controlled Common Use (CCU) fault has been detected by the R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter, indicating that another device connected to the CAN bus has an active fault. This suggests an issue external to the frequency converter but impacting the shared communication network.

93

CCU activation

A Controlled Common Use (CCU) activation has occurred, meaning another device connected to the CAN bus initiated the stopping of the R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter system. This indicates an external device commanding a stop via the shared network.
