57 fault codes documented
SERIAL COMMUNICATION FAULT
Code 117 indicates serial communication did not start within 10 seconds after drive reset or power-up. Code 118 indicates a valid serial communication message was not received for more than 150 ms.
MOTOR OVERLOAD FAULT
This fault indicates that the DSD 412 drive has supplied excessive motor current for a significant duration. This condition does not automatically shut down the drive but is signaled via the ALARM relay output K2.
EXCESSIVE FIELD CURRENT
This fault signifies that the measured motor field current has exceeded 125% of the rated current, as defined by parameter #50. This condition can lead to motor field damage.
LOOP CONTACTOR FAULT
The DSD 412 drive detects that the Loop Contactor auxiliary contact failed to pick up or drop out within the expected timeframe. This behavior is governed by the setting of parameter #102.
FIVE-MINUTE FULL FIELD
This fault indicates that the Drive and Field Enable control circuit at terminal TB1-9 remained active for five minutes without the drive commencing operation. This condition can lead to burnout of the motor field winding.
OPEN ARMATURE CIRCUIT
This fault occurs when a large current error is detected in the armature circuit and persists for half a second. This indicates a break in the armature current path.
SAFETY CIRCUIT FAULT
The DSD 412 drive detects that the Safety Circuit, connected between terminals TB3-1 and TB3-6 on the power supply, unexpectedly opened while the drive was in run mode. The safety chain must be closed for at least 100ms before enabling the drive. This fault is disabled if the speed is below the low speed threshold defined by parameter #64.
LOW LINE ALARM
This alarm indicates that the input AC line voltage has sagged more than 10% below the nominal line voltage, as configured by parameter #9. This is a warning and does not automatically shut down the DSD 412 drive, but it suggests that preventative action may be required to avoid future F904 Low Line shutdown faults.
DCU CEMF FAULT
This fault indicates that the Counter-Electromotive Force (CEMF) of the motor has exceeded 109% of the measured AC input voltage supplied to the DSD 412 drive. This is a warning and does not cause an automatic drive shutdown.
PCU CEMF FAULT
The Counter Electromotive Force (CEMF) of the motor exceeded 118% of the rated VAC input voltage to the drive. This fault causes a drive shutdown to prevent fuse blowing.
UNEXPECTED PCU RESET
The PCU processor was unexpectedly reset.
SPEED ERROR TRIP FAULT
This fault causes an automatic drive shutdown when speed errors exceed the threshold defined by Function #100 for a duration longer than specified by Function #99 (Speed Error Trip Time).
MAXIMUM AUTO RESETS FAULT
This fault is triggered when an accumulation of five counted faults occurs. Once this fault is active, manual intervention is required to reset the drive and continue operation.
FIELD CURRENT TRACKING FAULT
The actual field current failed to track the field current command by more than F192 (Default = 0.05) for 5 seconds. This condition is a warning and is not a shutdown fault.
SOFTWARE COMPATABILITY FAULT
The PCU (U13, U14) Version or Revision software is incompatible with the DCU (U39, U40) installed in the drive.
PCU LOOP FAULT
The contactor did not close or opened unexpectedly, or the motor voltage exceeded 30% of rated motor voltage #7 during Self-Tune #997. This fault sets the Severe Fault flag and forces the DSD 412 current reference to zero, leading to a drive shutdown.
PCU IST FAULT
Current flow in excess of 300% of the rated armature current has been detected.
POWER SUPPLY FAULT
The Low Voltage Power Supply (A4) output has dropped below 60% of the rated voltage. This fault requires a CPU Reset and will shut down the drive.
LINE SYNC FAILURE
The Phase Locked Loop has lost synchronization with the 3 Phase AC input power supply. This sets the Severe Fault flag and forces the current reference to zero, shutting down the drive. It is generally caused by AC input power problems and is often self-correcting, frequently occurring with an F904 fault.
LOW LINE VOLTAGE FAULT
The AC input power has dropped below 80% of the Nominal AC Line Voltage #9 for 3 consecutive cycles or lower than 50% for one cycle. This sets the Severe Fault flag and forces the DSD 412 current reference to zero, shutting down the drive.
FIELD LOSS FAULT
The field current feedback has dropped below 80% of the expected current during specific operating conditions: Field Weakening Mode (Top speed, #49), Full Field Mode (Accel or Decel, #50), or Standing Field Mode (not running, #53). This fault will shut down the drive.
DCU FAILURE FAULT
The update of the Dual Port RAM from the Drive Control Unit (DCU) is unreliable. This fault will shut down the drive and requires a DSD 412 power down before attempting corrective actions.
THERMISTOR FAULT
The thermistor is found to be open or shorted. This fault can also occur if the machine room ambient temperature is below 0°C (as the resistance detected is too high) or if an open thermostat is present on larger drives. This fault will not shut down the drive.
OVER TEMPERATURE FAULT
The calculated SCR junction temperature is above 125 degrees Centigrade. This is derived from the thermistor heat sink measurement combined with the heating effects of measured armature output current on the SCRs. This fault will not shut down the drive.
RIPPLE FAULT
Repeated high peak to average motor armature current is detected. This condition may be caused by defective hardware, poor regulator tuning, or other oscillatory operation conditions.
BLOWN FUSE FAULT
One or more of the three AC line fuses is open. This condition is checked on power-up and can be confirmed upon request through the PCU F#998 PCU Diagnostics function, via measurements on the Armature Interface PCB, A2.
SHORTED SCRS/DOUBLER FAULT
One of the SCR/Doubler packs has a short circuit between the SCRs. This condition is checked only upon request through the PCU #998 Diagnostics CDU function. The optional handheld PCDU can identify which specific SCR pair is faulty. This fault requires a DSD Power Down.
OPEN SCR FAULT
One of the SCRs does not conduct current as expected. This condition is checked only upon request through the PCU #998 Diagnostics CDU function. The optional handheld PCDU can identify which specific SCR pair is faulty. This fault requires a DSD Power Down.
PARAMETER SETUP FAULT
One of the following parameters is not within the acceptable range of the chassis hardware: Rated Volts #7 or #9, or Rated Current #3 or #50. This fault requires a DSD power down.
FORCING FAULT
The prohibit rotation bit was removed while the loop was picked-up. This fault can only occur when using the handheld PCDU, indicating an incorrect operational sequence.
REVERSE ARMATURE POLARITY
The polarity of the Armature Voltage Feedback wires is reversed or the wires are missing. This fault shows up during the F998 PCU Diagnostics Test and can cause F909 faults or very poor drive/ride performance if not corrected. This fault requires a DSD power down.
LINE VOLTAGE SETTING FAULT
This fault is declared if a number entered for the Rated Line Voltage, #9, is outside the acceptable range of 150 to 525VAC. If 0 is entered, the rated line voltage defaults to 230 or 460 VAC depending on the line voltage sensed. This fault requires a DSD power down.
LOAD VOLTAGE SETTING FAULT
This fault is declared if the Rated Armature Voltage, #7, value is outside the acceptable range of 150 to 700 VDC. This fault requires a DSD power down.
BRIDGE RATING FAULT
The drive's computer cannot identify the drive size. The bridge type is determined by a sense resistor on the Cube ID PCB (plugged into the A2 Armature Interface PCB), which identifies the ampere rating and current feedback scaling of the physical hardware. This fault occurs if the sense resistor value is not recognized. This fault requires a DSD power down.
LOAD CURRENT SETTING FAULT
This fault is declared if a number entered for Rated Armature Current, #3, is outside the acceptable range of 0.125 to 2.0 times the bridge current rating. The bridge current rating is determined by the bridge sense resistor on the Cube ID PCB, located on the Armature Interface PCB. This fault requires a DSD power down.
FIELD CURRENT SETTING FAULT
This fault is declared if a number entered for Rated Field Current #50 is outside the acceptable range of the Field Interface board, A3, current rating. This rating is determined by the field sense resistor selected by SW1 on the Field Interface PCB. This fault requires a DSD power down.
FIELD SENSE FAULT
The field bridge rating is determined by reading a sense resistor on the Field Interface board selected by SW1. If the resistance value is not recognized, a Field Sense Fault is declared, indicating a hardware fault. This fault requires a DSD power down.
