Faults - Causes - Remedies

Faults, which can be reset with the automatic restart function, after the cause has disappeared
These faults can also be reset by disconnecting and reconnecting the power supply or by means of a logic input or command bit ([FAULT
RESET] (rSt-) parameter, page 172).

COF • Interruption in communication on • Check the communication bus.
CANopen fault the CANopen bus • Please refer to the product-specific documentation.

LFF • Loss of the 4-20 mA reference on • Check the connection on the analog inputs.
4-20 mA loss an analog input
ObF • Overbraking • Increase the deceleration time.
Overvoltage or driving load • Install a braking resistor if necessary.
during deceleration • Activate the [Dec ramp adapt] (brA) function on page 106, if
it is compatible with the application.
OHF • Drive temperature too high • Check the motor load, the drive ventilation and the
Drive overheat environment. Wait for the motor to cool before restarting.
OLF • Triggered by motor current too • Check the ItH setting for the motor thermal protection,
Motor overload high check the motor load. Wait for the motor to cool before
restarting.
OPF1 • Loss of one phase at drive output • Check the connections from the drive to the motor.
1 output phase loss • Output contactor open • If an output contactor is being used, parameter [Output

OPF2 power too low • Test on a low power motor or without a motor: In factory
2 output phase loss • Instantaneous instability in the settings mode, output phase loss detection is active [Output

OPF3 test or maintenance environment without having to switch to
3 output phase loss a motor with the same rating as the drive (particularly useful
in the case of high-power drives), deactivate output phase

[Rated mot. current] (nCr) page 53, and perform [Auto
tuning] (tUn) page 54.
OSF • Mains voltage too high • Check the mains voltage.
Overvoltage • Disturbed mains
PHF • Drive incorrectly supplied or a • Check the power connection and the fuses.
