External Fault (Terminal S3)

What does EF3 mean?

This fault indicates that an external device triggered a fault via the Multi-Function Digital Input (MFDI) terminal S3, or there is incorrect wiring to S3, or the terminal is incorrectly configured for an external fault despite not being in use. This causes the drive to halt operation based on an external signal, potentially stopping connected machinery.
