Clear Fault

You can clear a fault using any of several methods:

•

Program the SMC-Flex controller for a Clear Fault, which can be
found in Main Menu/Diagnostics/Faults.

•

If a human interface module is connected to the controller, press the
Stop button.

Note:

The stop signal will not clear a fault if Logic Mask is disabled
(Logic Mask, parameter #87, equals ø).

•

Cycle control power to the SMC-Flex controller.

Important:

An overload fault cannot be reset until the Motor Thermal
Usage, parameter 12, value is below 75%. See Protection
and Diagnostics on page 1-9 for further details.

Fault Buffer

The SMC-Flex controller stores in memory the five most recent faults.
Display the fault buffer by selecting the View Faults Queue and scrolling
through the fault buffer parameters. The information is stored as fault
codes and fault descriptions. A fault code cross-reference is provided in
Table 7.A.
