Equipment FC-302P1K5T5E20H2XGCXXXSXXXXA0BXCXXXXDX
Equipment Category VLT AutomationDrive FC 302
Industry Plastics
Fault Reported
  • Drive trips, fails to start, or shows overcurrent / DC-bus / power-stage related faults.
Repair Turnaround Time Typical reference: 3–6 working days

The Challenge

The driven motor could not run reliably, stopping a critical machine function and increasing production downtime.

Diagnosis

  • The input stage, DC bus, pre-charge circuit, IGBT power section, gate drivers, current sensing, cooling system, and control board were inspected.

Our Solution

  • Defective power or control components were replaced as required, cooling and connection issues were corrected, boards were cleaned, and the drive was functionally tested with a motor.

Testing Performed

  • Input inspection; DC-bus test; power-stage test; motor rotation test; current monitoring; fault-reset test; thermal and burn-in test.

Final Result

The reference repair process restores normal functional operation after the unit passes the defined electrical, communication, motion, or load checks applicable to the equipment.

Common Fault Codes & Causes

  • Alarm 4 – Mains phase loss: Missing input phase, input fuse or mains imbalance.
  • Alarm 7 – DC overvoltage: High DC-link voltage caused by mains overvoltage or regenerative energy.
  • Alarm 8 – DC undervoltage: Low mains voltage, phase loss or supply interruption.
  • Alarm 9 – Inverter overloaded: Excessive load or prolonged high current causing thermal overload.
  • Alarm 12 – Torque limit: Mechanical overload, jam or torque limit reached.
  • Alarm 13 – Overcurrent: Peak current exceeded due to overload, rapid acceleration or motor/cable issue.
  • Alarm 14 – Earth fault: Motor/cable insulation fault or leakage to ground.
  • Alarm 16 – Short circuit: Short circuit in motor or motor wiring.
  • Alarm 29 – Drive temperature: Drive thermal limit exceeded due to cooling/ambient/load issue.
  • Alarm 30 – Motor phase U missing: Open output phase, cable/terminal or motor winding issue.

Preventive Maintenance

  • Maintain clean cooling paths, verify motor load and cabling, inspect fans, protect against voltage disturbances, and keep the cabinet temperature within limits.
