Error Codes(Operator)

Error
Code
Name Cause(s)
E01 Over-current event while at constant speed The inverter output was short-circuited, or the motor shaft is locked or has a heavy load.
These conditions cause excessive current for the inverter, so the inverter output is turned OFF.
E02 Over-current event during deceleration
E03 Over-current event during acceleration
E04 Over-current event during other conditions
E05 Overload protection *1 When a motor overload is detected by the electronic thermal function, the inverter trips and turns OFF its output.
E07 Over voltage protection When the DC bus voltage exceeds a threshold, due to regenerative energy from the motor.
E08 Memory error *2,3,6 When the built-in memory has problems due to noise or excessive temperature, the inverter trips and turns OFF its output to the motor.
E09 Under-voltage error A decrease of internal DC bus voltage below a threshold results in a control circuit fault. This condition can also generate excessive motor heat or cause low torque. The inverter trips and turns OFF its output.
E10 Current detection error If an error occurs in the internal current detection system, the inverter will shut off its output and display the error code.
E11
E22
CPU error A malfunction in the built-in CPU has occurred, so the inverter trips and turns OFF its output to the motor.
E12 External trip A signal on an intelligent input terminal configured as EXT has occurred. The inverter trips and turns OFF the output to the motor.
E13 USP *4 When the Unattended Start Protection (USP) is enabled, an error occurred when power is applied while a Run signal is present. The inverter trips and does not go into Run Mode until the error is cleared.
E14 Ground fault *5 The inverter is protected by the detection of ground faults between the inverter output and the motor during power up tests. This feature protects the inverter, and does not protect humans.
E15 Input over-voltage When the input voltage is higher than the specified value, it is detected 100 seconds after power up and the inverter trips and turns OFF its output.
E19 Inverter thermal detection system error When the cooling fin thermal sensor in the inverter detect disconnection etc, inverter trips.
E21 Inverter thermal trip When the inverter internal temperature is above the threshold, the thermal sensor in the inverter module detects the excessive temperature of the power devices and trips, turning the inverter output OFF.
E26 Control circuit error When abnormality occurred on a control circuit board, I make a error code
E30 Driver error An internal inverter error has occurred at the safety protection circuit between the CPU and main driver unit. Excessive electrical noise may be the cause. The inverter has turned OFF the IGBT module output.
E34 Output phase loss protection Output Phase Loss Logic Detection (There are undetectable terms of use.)
E38 Low-speed overload protection If overload occurs during the motor operation at a very low speed, the inverter will detect the overload and shut off the inverter output.
E40 Operator connection failure When the connection between inverter and operator keypad failed, inverter trips and displays the error code.
E41 Communications error The inverter's watchdog timer for the communications network has timed out.

Note

*1
Reset operations acceptable 10 seconds after the trip.
*2
If an memory error (E08) occurs, be sure to confirm the parameter data values are still correct.
*3
Memory error may occer at power-on after shutting down the power while copying data with remote operator or initializing data. Shut down the power after completing copy or initialization.
*4
USP error occures at reseting trip after under-voltage error (E09) if USP is enabled. Reset once more to recover.
*5
Ground fault error (E14) cannot be released with resetting. Shut the power and check wiring.
*6
When error E08 error, it may be required to perform initialization.

Note

 
Indicated inverter status could be different from actual inverter behavior. (e.g. When PID operation or frequency given by analog signal, although it seems constant speed, acceleration and deceleration could be repeated in very short cycle.)
