Not Maintaining Set-Point Fault
Yaskawa · iQpump Simplex Pump Drive
What does SP mean?
The pump system has failed to maintain the programmed set-point. This fault occurs when the difference between the feedback signal level and the specified set-point exceeds the threshold defined in parameter P1-11 for the duration specified in parameter P1-12. A common root cause is a system issue like a broken pipe or other leakage preventing the system from achieving the set-point.
Common Causes
- Feedback signal deviation from set-point exceeding the P1-11 (Maximum Set-Point Difference) threshold.
- Duration of set-point deviation exceeding the P1-12 (Not Maintaining Set-Point Delay Time).
- Physical pump system issues such as broken pipes, leaks, or clogged filters preventing pressure or flow maintenance.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Verify parameter P1-11 (Maximum Set-Point Difference) is set appropriately for the system's operational tolerances.
- 2
Verify parameter P1-12 (Not Maintaining Set-Point Delay Time) is configured to allow for normal system transients before faulting.
- 3
Measure the current feedback signal level and compare it to the system set-point to determine the exact deviation.
- 4
Inspect the pump system and associated piping for physical damage, blockages, or leaks that could impede maintaining the set-point.
