Diagnostics
Flashing Green – Alarms
For less severe errors, called alarms, the diagnostic display is advisory. For these
situations, the drive is simply reporting that it had detected something “unusual.” In
these situations, the drive:
•
Flashes the green LED on the drive (does not apply to alarms that arise from
control panel operation errors).
•
Sets an appropriate bit in an Alarm Word parameter (0308 or 0309). See "Group
03: Actual Signals" on page 56 for the bit definitions.
•
Overrides the control panel display with the display of an alarm code and/or
name.
Alarm messages disappear from the control panel display after a few seconds. The
message returns periodically as long as the alarm condition exists.
Correcting Faults
The recommended corrective action for faults is:
•
Use the "Fault Listing" table below to find and address the root cause of the
problem.
•
Reset the drive. See "Fault Resetting" on page 217.
