Overspeed

What does SOF mean?

The motor has exceeded its programmed maximum speed or the drive has detected an unstable speed condition, possibly due to a driving load that forces the motor beyond its setpoint. This can lead to mechanical damage or loss of control.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

1. 1

   Check the motor, gain, and stability parameters in the drive configuration to ensure stable operation.

2. 2

   If the load is driving the motor (regenerative braking), consider adding a braking resistor to dissipate excess regenerative energy.

3. 3

   Verify the sizing of the motor, drive, and load to ensure appropriate operating limits and prevent overspeed conditions.
