Appears if the regenerative brake duty reaches or exceeds 85% of the Pr.70 Special regenerative brake duty value. If the regenerative brake duty reaches 100%, a regenerative overvoltage (E. OV_) occurs.
Appears when the electronic thermal O/L relay has reached 85% of the specified value.
Appears when on the operation panel was pressed during external operation.
Appears when the cumulative energization time has exceeded the maintenance output timer set value. Appears when parameters are copied between models with capacities of 55K or less and 75K or more.

Displays if the speed limit level is exceeded during torque control.

Minor Failure*4

Appears when the cooling fan remains stopped when operation is required or when the speed has decreased.
Appears when an overcurrent occurred during acceleration. Appears when an overcurrent occurred during constant speed operation.
Appears when an overcurrent occurred during deceleration and at a stop.

Appears when an overvoltage occurred during acceleration.

Appears when an overvoltage occurred during constant speed operation.

Major Failures*5

*1

Appears when an instantaneous power failure occurred at an input power supply.

Appears when the main circuit DC voltage became low.

Appears if one of the three phases on the inverter input side opened. Appears when the output frequency drops to 0.5Hz as a result of deceleration due to the excess motor load.

This function stops the inverter output if an alarm occurs in the brake circuit, e.g. damaged brake transistors. In this case, the inverter must be powered off immediately.
Appears when an earth (ground) fault occurred on the Inverters output side.
Appears if one of the three phases on the inverter output side opened.

Appears when the external thermal relay connected to the terminal OH is activated.

Function Name
PTC thermistor operation

Description
Appears when the motor overheat status is detected for 10s or more by the external PTC thermistor input connected to the terminal AU. Appears when torque command by the plug-in option is selected using Pr. 804 when no plug-in option is mounted or an AC power supply is connected to the R/L1, S/L2, T/L3 when the high power factor converter and power regeneration common converter connection setting (Pr.30=2) is selected. Appears when a communication line error occurs in the communication option. Appears if a contact fault or the like of the connector between the inverter and communication option occurs or if a communication option is fitted to the connector 1 or 2. (1 to 3 indicate connector numbers for connection of the plug-in option.) Appears when operation of the element where parameters stored became abnormal. (control board) Appears when a communication error between the PU and inverter occurred, the communication interval exceeded the permissible time during the RS-485 communication with the PU connecter, or communication errors exceeded the number of retries during the RS-485 communication. Appears when the operation was not restarted within the set number of retries. Appears when operation of the element where parameters stored became abnormal. (main circuit board)

Appears when output current exceeded the output current detection level set by the parameter. Appears when the resistor of the inrush current limit circuit overheated.

Appears when a communication error occurred during the RS-485 communication with the RS-485 terminals. Appears when 30mA or more is input or a voltage (7.5V or more) is input with the terminal 2/4 set to current input. Indicates that the motor speed has exceeded the overspeed setting level
(Pr.374).

Stops the inverter output if the motor speed is increased or decreased under the influence of the load etc. during vector control and cannot be controlled in accordance with the speed command value.

Stops the inverter output if the encoder signal is shut off. Indicates that the difference between the position command and position feedback exceeded the reference. The inverter output is stopped when a sequence error occurs during use of the brake sequence function (Pr.278 to Pr.285). When the rotation command of the inverter differs from the actual motor rotation direction detected from the encoder, the inverter output is stopped. (detected only during tuning is performed in the "rotation mode" of offline auto tuning) Appears when an internal circuit error occurred. Appears when USB communication error occurred. The speed may not decelerate during low speed operation if the rotation direction of the speed command and the estimated speed differ when the rotation is changing from forward to reverse or from reverse to forward under real sensorless vector control. At this time, the inverter output is stopped if the rotation direction will not change, causing overload.

Notes:
*1. Resetting the inverter initializes the internal thermal integrated data of the electronic thermal relay function. *2. The error message shows an operational error. The inverter output is not shut off. *3. Warnings are messages given before major failures occur. The inverter output is not shut off. *4. Minor failure warns the operator of failures with output signals. The inverter output is not shut off. *5. When major failures occur, the protective functions are activated to shut off the inverter output and output the alarms. *6. The external thermal operates only when the OH signal is set in Pr.178 to Pr.189 (input terminal function selection). *7. Appears when the FR-A7AP (option) is fitted.
