SP

Wrong signal source polarity

Lenze · SHB4800/4900

What does SP mean?

This fault indicates that the polarity of an analog input signal (e.g., set-value, feedback) is inverted or incorrect, causing the drive to interpret the signal incorrectly. By default, this condition triggers a full TRIP, inhibiting all ignition pulses and resetting the Ready signal, as incorrect polarity can lead to unstable or dangerous operation. Manual reset is required.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Verify wiring polarity: Check the connections of the analog input signal (e.g., speed reference, actual value feedback) at the drive terminals for correct polarity (+/-).

  2. 2

    Check sensor output: Confirm the sensor providing the signal has the correct output polarity.

  3. 3

    Review drive parameters for polarity inversion: Check if there's a parameter in the drive that needs to be adjusted for analog input scaling or polarity.

  4. 4

    Ensure signal source is correct: Verify that the signal source is compatible with the drive's input type (voltage/current).

  5. 5

    Measure signal voltage/current: Use a multimeter to verify the actual signal value and its polarity at the input terminals.
