Process overload

What does F012 mean?

For the ATV310 drive, this fault indicates that the current drawn by the motor, as monitored by the drive, suggests an overload condition originating from the mechanical process or application itself. It signifies that the mechanical load on the motor is too high.

• Mechanical process experiencing an overload condition
• Drive parameters (e.g., current limits, torque limits) are not compatible with the application's process requirements

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Review all relevant drive parameters (e.g., current limits, torque limits, acceleration/deceleration times) and compare them with the application's mechanical requirements.

2. 2

   Inspect the mechanical system (e.g., pump, fan, conveyor, gearbox) for any signs of binding, blockage, excessive friction, or other issues that could lead to process overload.

3. 3

   Monitor the motor current during operation to identify when and under what specific conditions the overload occurs.

4. 4

   Verify the sizing of the motor, drive, and driven load to ensure they are appropriately matched for the application's demands.
