External Fault (Terminal S5)

What does EF5 mean?

This fault indicates that an external device triggered a fault via the Multi-Function Digital Input (MFDI) terminal S5, or there is incorrect wiring to S5, 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.

2. 2

   Verify and correctly connect the signal line to MFDI terminal S5.

3. 3
