This section describes the alarm and fault displays, explanations for fault conditions and corrective
actions to be taken if the Drive malfunctions.
A failure in the Drive can fall into one of two categories, Alarm or Fault.
A blinking “Alarm” indication is a warning that a trouble condition will soon occur, or that a
programming error has been made. The Drive will continue to operate during an “Alarm” indication.
A blinking “Minor Fault” indication is displayed during less serious faults, or when a problem exists in
the external circuitry. The Drive will continue to operate, and a “Minor Fault” contact will be closed if a
multi-function output is programmed for the condition.
A steady “Major Fault” indication is displayed when the Fault relay has tripped. The motor coasts to a
stop, and a fault signal output is present at control circuit terminals MA, MB and MC.
