External Fault (Terminal S7)

What does EF7 mean?

This fault indicates that an external device triggered a fault via the Multi-Function Digital Input (MFDI) terminal S7, or there is incorrect wiring to S7, 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.
