Option PCB Communication Error Alarm

Hva betyr F6-CEA ?

This alarm occurs when a serial communication option board, attached to the drive at the 2CN connector, detects a communication error, and parameter F6-01 is specifically set to '3: Alarm Only'. In this state, the drive acknowledges the communication issue without energizing the fault output or stopping operation, allowing for continuous monitoring despite communication problems.

• Option communication board is not fully seated or improperly connected in the drive's 2CN connector slot.
• Damaged communication cable or loose connections between the option board and the external network (e.g., broken wires, poor crimps).
• Incorrect communication parameters configured on the option board via drive parameters (e.g., F6-02 for address, F6-03 for baud rate).
• Faulty or incompatible option board hardware preventing proper communication initialization.
• Network bus termination resistors are missing or incorrectly configured on the communication bus.

1. 1

   Power down the drive, firmly re-seat the option communication board into the 2CN connector, and ensure all mounting screws are tightened.

2. 2

   Visually inspect the communication cable for damage and verify continuity on all conductors using a cable tester.

3. 3

   Confirm drive parameters F6-02 (Option Board Address), F6-03 (Baud Rate), and F6-04 (Data Format) match the network master's settings.

4. 4

   Test with a known-good, compatible option board in the 2CN slot to determine if the issue is board-specific.

5. 5

   Verify proper installation and functionality of network termination resistors at both ends of the communication bus.

6. 6

   Monitor the communication line with a protocol analyzer or oscilloscope to identify data transmission errors or signal integrity issues.
