08

Speed monitoring fault (n-monitoring)

SEW Eurodrive · MOVIDRIVE compact System

What does 08 mean?

The speed or current controller is operating at its setting limit, indicating either a mechanical overload, a phase failure in the power supply or motor, or an incorrectly connected/configured encoder. This fault suggests the motor is not behaving as commanded, leading to an immediate shutdown.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Reduce the mechanical load applied to the motor to bring operation within specifications.

  2. 2

    Increase the deceleration time settings (P501 or P503) to allow for smoother transitions and prevent limit overruns.

  3. 3

    Check the encoder connection for correctness; if applicable, swap A/A and B/B pairs and verify encoder voltage supply.

  4. 4

    Inspect the motor cable and the motor itself for any damage, and verify all mains phases are present and balanced.
