Vacon · NXS NXP Drive

What does 42 mean?

The brake resistor overtemperature protection has activated, indicating that the brake resistor is dissipating too much energy, likely due to overly heavy or frequent braking cycles. This condition can lead to premature resistor failure or a fire hazard if not addressed.
