PR4

Parameter set 4 defective

Lenze · 4800/4900 Series

What does PR4 mean?

This fault specifically indicates that user-defined parameter set 4, stored in the drive's memory, has become corrupted or is invalid. By default, this condition is configured as a Warning, meaning it alerts the operator and is logged, but it does not immediately inhibit pulses. Using a defective parameter set can lead to improper drive operation or damage.

Common Causes

  • Corruption of the internal memory block storing parameter set 4.
  • Interruption during the saving process of parameter set 4 (e.g., power loss while writing P9-98 = 4).
  • Attempting to load a parameter set 4 that is incompatible with the current drive's firmware version.
  • Degradation or failure of the drive's non-volatile memory associated with parameter set 4.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Attempt to load an alternative, known good parameter set (e.g., switch to parameter set 1 using P0-02 = 1).

  2. 2

    Try to reload parameter set 4 from an external backup file using the drive's configuration software.

  3. 3

    Manually re-enter critical parameters for set 4, starting with motor data (e.g., P1-01, P1-02, P1-03).

  4. 4

    Execute a factory reset specific to parameter set 4 if available, or reset all parameters (P9-97 = 1) and rebuild set 4.

  5. 5

    Save the currently active parameter values as a new parameter set to overwrite the corrupted area (e.g., P9-98 = 4).
