6.1.12 Wiring Configuration for a Relay Setup with Smart Logic Control
Table 26: Wiring Configuration for a Relay Setup with Smart Logic Control
Illustration 16: Wire Configuration for the Encoder
6.1.15 Wiring Configuration for Torque and Stop Limit
In applications with an external electro-mechanical brake, such as hoisting applications, it is possible to stop the drive via a standard
stop command and simultaneously activate the external electro-mechanical brake. Programming of these drive connections is
shown in Illustration 17.
If a stop command is active via terminal 18 and the drive is not at the torque limit, the motor ramps down to 0 Hz. If the drive is at
the torque limit and a stop command is activated, the system activates terminal 29 output (programmed to [27] Torque limit & stop).
The signal to terminal 27 changes from logic 1 to logic 0 and the motor starts to coast. This process ensures that the hoist stops
even if the drive itself cannot handle the required torque, for example due to excessive overload.
To program the stop and torque limit, connect to the following terminals:
•
Start/stop via terminal 18 (Parameter 5-10 Terminal 18 Digital Input [8] Start).
•
Quick stop via terminal 27 (Parameter 5-12 Terminal 27 Digital Input [2] Coasting Stop, Inverse).
Under normal operating conditions and load profiles, the drive is maintenance-free throughout its designed lifetime. To prevent
breakdown, danger, and damage, examine the drive for loose terminal connections, excessive dust buildup, and so on, at regular
intervals. Replace worn or damaged parts with Danfoss authorized parts. For service and support, contact the local Danfoss supplier.
W A R N I N G

7.2 Warning and Alarm Types
Warnings
A warning is issued when an alarm condition is impending, or when an abnormal operating condition is present and may result in
the drive issuing an alarm. A warning clears by itself when the abnormal condition ceases.
Alarms
An alarm indicates a fault that requires immediate attention. The fault always triggers a trip or a trip lock. Reset the system after an
alarm.
Trip
An alarm is issued when the drive is tripped, meaning that the drive suspends operation to prevent damage to the drive or system.
The motor coasts to a stop. The drive logic continues to operate and monitor the drive status. After the fault condition is remedied,
the drive can be reset. It is then ready to start operation again.
Trip lock
Input power is cycled. The motor coasts to a stop. The drive continues to monitor the drive status. Remove input power to the drive,
correct the cause of the fault, and reset the drive.
A warning is shown in the LCP along with the warning number.
•
An alarm flashes along with the alarm number.

7.4 Descriptions of Warnings and Alarms
Depending on settings, FC 301/302 is able to give warnings or trigger alarms. In the Programming Guide for VLT® AutomationDrive
FC 301/302, a full list of all warnings and alarms can be found. Below, an extract of most common alarms and warnings can be
found.
The following warning and alarm information defines each warning or alarm condition, provides the probable cause for the condition, and entails a remedy or troubleshooting procedure.
7.4.1 WARNING 1, 10 Volts Low
Cause
The control card voltage is less than 10 V from terminal 50. Remove some of the load from terminal 50, as the 10 V supply is overloaded. Maximum 15 mA or minimum 590 Ω.
A short circuit in a connected potentiometer or incorrect wiring of the potentiometer can cause this condition.
Remove the wiring from terminal 50. If the warning clears, the problem is with the wiring. If the warning does not clear, replace
the control card.
Troubleshooting
7.4.2 WARNING/ALARM 2, Live Zero Error
Cause
This warning or alarm only appears if programmed in parameter 6-01 Live Zero Timeout Function. The signal on 1 of the analog inputs
is less than 50% of the minimum value programmed for that input. Broken wiring or a faulty device sending the signal can cause
this condition.
Troubleshooting
•
Check connections on all analog mains terminals.
-
Control card terminals 53 and 54 for signals, terminal 55 common.
-
VLT® General Purpose I/O MCB 101 terminals 11 and 12 for signals, terminal 10 common.

•
Perform an input terminal signal test.
7.4.3 WARNING/ALARM 3, No Motor
Cause
No motor is connected to the output of the drive.
7.4.4 WARNING/ALARM 4, Mains Phase Loss
Cause
A phase is missing on the supply side, or the mains voltage imbalance is too high. This message also appears for a fault in the input
rectifier. Options are programmed in parameter 14-12 Function at Mains Imbalance.
Troubleshooting
Check the supply voltage and supply currents to the drive.
•
7.4.5 WARNING 5, DC Link Voltage High
Cause
The DC-link voltage (DC) is higher than the high-voltage warning limit. The limit depends on the drive voltage rating. The unit is still
active.
7.4.6 WARNING 6, DC Link Voltage Low
Cause
The DC-link voltage (DC) is lower than the low voltage warning limit. The limit depends on the drive voltage rating. The unit is still
active.
7.4.7 WARNING/ALARM 7, DC Overvoltage
Cause
If the DC-link voltage exceeds the limit, the drive trips after a certain time.
Troubleshooting
Extend the ramp time.
•
Change the ramp type.
•
•
Activate the functions in parameter 2-10 Brake Function.
•
Increase parameter 14-26 Trip Delay at Inverter Fault.
•
If the alarm/warning occurs during a power sag, use kinetic back-up (parameter 14-10 Mains Failure).
Connect a brake resistor.
•
7.4.8 WARNING/ALARM 8, DC Undervoltage
Cause
If the DC-link voltage drops below the undervoltage limit, the drive checks for 24 V DC back-up supply. If no 24 V DC back-up supply
is connected, the drive trips after a fixed time delay. The time delay varies with unit size.
Check that the supply voltage matches the drive voltage.
•
Perform an input voltage test.
•
Perform a soft-charge circuit test.
Troubleshooting
7.4.9 WARNING/ALARM 9, Inverter Overload
Cause
The drive has run with more than 100% overload for too long and is about to cut out. The counter for electronic thermal inverter
protection issues a warning at 98% and trips at 100% with an alarm. The drive cannot be reset until the counter is below 90%.
Troubleshooting
•
Compare the output current shown on the LCP with the drive rated current.
•
Compare the output current shown on the LCP with the measured motor current.
•
Show the thermal drive load on the LCP and monitor the value. When running above the drive continuous current rating, the
counter increases. When running below the drive continuos current rating, the counter decreases.
7.4.10 WARNING/ALARM 10, Motor Overload Temperature
Cause
According to the electronic thermal protection (ETR), the motor is too hot.
Select 1 of these options:
•
The drive issues a warning or an alarm when the counter is >90% if parameter 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection is set to warning
options.
•
The drive trips when the counter reaches 100% if parameter 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection is set to trip options.
The fault occurs when the motor runs with more than 100% overload for too long.
Troubleshooting
Check for motor overheating.
•
Check if the motor is mechanically overloaded.
•
•
Check that the motor current set in parameter 1-24 Motor Current is correct.
•
Ensure that the motor data in parameters 1-20 to 1-25 is set correctly.
•
If an external fan is in use, check that it is selected in parameter 1-91 Motor External Fan.
•
Running AMA in parameter 1-29 Automatic Motor Adaptation (AMA) tunes the drive to the motor more accurately and reduces
thermal loading.
7.4.11 WARNING/ALARM 11, Motor Thermistor Overtemp
Cause
The motor thermistor indicates that the motor temperature is too high.
Troubleshooting
Check for motor overheating.
•
Check that the thermistor is securely connected.
•
Check if the motor is mechanically overloaded.
•
When using terminal 53 or 54, check that the thermistor is connected correctly between either terminal 53 or 54 (analog voltage
•
input) and terminal 50 (+10 V supply). Also check that the terminal switch for 53 and 54 is set for voltage. Check that parameter1-93 Thermistor Resource selects 53 or 54.
When using terminal 18, 19, 31, 32, or 33 (digital inputs), check that the thermistor is connected correctly between the digital
•
input terminal used (digital input PNP only) and terminal 50. Select the terminal to use in parameter 1-93 Thermistor Resource.
7.4.12 WARNING/ALARM 12, Torque Limit
Cause
The torque has exceeded the value in parameter 4-16 Torque Limit Motor Mode or the value in parameter 4-17 Torque Limit GeneratorMode. Parameter 14-25 Trip Delay at Torque Limit can change this warning from a warning-only condition to a warning followed by
an alarm.
If the motor torque limit is exceeded during ramp-up, extend the ramp-up time.
•
If the generator torque limit is exceeded during ramp-down time, extend the ramp-down time.
•
If torque limit occurs while running, increase the torque limit. Make sure that the system can operate safely at a higher torque.
•
Check the application for excessive current draw on the motor.
Troubleshooting
7.4.13 WARNING/ALARM 13, Overcurrent
Cause
The inverter peak current limit (approximately 200% of the rated current) is exceeded. The warning lasts approximately 1.5 s, then
the drive trips and issues an alarm. Shock loading or quick acceleration with high-inertia loads can cause this fault. If the acceleration during ramp-up is quick, the fault can also appear after kinetic back-up. If extended mechanical brake control is selected, a trip
can be reset externally.
Troubleshooting
•
Remove power and check if the motor shaft can be turned.
•
Check that the motor size matches the drive.
•
Check that the motor data is correct in parameters 1-20 to 1-25.
7.4.14 ALARM 14, Earth (Ground) Fault
Cause
There is current from the output phase to ground, either in the cable between the drive and the motor, or in the motor itself. The
current transducers detect the ground fault by measuring current going out from the drive and current going into the drive from
the motor. Ground fault is issued if the deviation of the 2 currents is too large. The current going out of the drive must be the same
as the current going into the drive.
Troubleshooting
•
Remove power to the drive and repair the ground fault.
•
Check for ground faults in the motor by measuring the resistance to ground of the motor cables and the motor with a megohmmeter.
•
Reset any potential individual offset in the 3 current transducers in the drive. Perform a manual initialization or perform a complete AMA. This method is most relevant after changing the power card.

Cause
The power transmitted to the brake resistor is calculated as a mean value over the last 120 s of run time. The calculation is based on
the DC-link voltage and the brake resistor value set in parameter 2-16 AC Brake Max. Current. The warning is active when the dissipated braking power is higher than 90% of the brake resistor power. If option [2] Trip is selected in parameter 2-13 Brake Power Monitor-ing, the drive trips when the dissipated braking power reaches 100%.
7.4.25 WARNING/ALARM 27, Brake Chopper Fault
Cause
The brake transistor is monitored during operation, and if a short circuit occurs, the brake function is disabled, and a warning is
issued. The drive is still operational, but since the brake transistor has short-circuited, substantial power is transmitted to the brake
resistor, even if it is inactive.
Troubleshooting
Remove the power to the drive and remove the brake resistor.
