Common Fault Codes
- Fault Code 2
- Auxiliary Input fault. The auxiliary input interlock has opened, interrupting drive operation.
Check the auxiliary input wiring and the status of any external interlock devices connected to the drive. Restore the interlock circuit and clear the fault. - Fault Code 3
- Power Loss fault. Input power to the drive was lost or dropped below acceptable levels during operation.
Verify incoming three-phase supply voltage at the drive input terminals. Check for loose connections, blown fuses, or upstream supply issues. Restore stable input power and reset the fault. - Fault Code 4
- Undervoltage fault. DC bus voltage dropped below the minimum threshold required for operation.
Check input line voltage for sags or phase loss. Verify that the supply transformer and upstream protection devices are functioning correctly. Reset after restoring proper voltage. - Fault Code 5
- Overvoltage fault. DC bus voltage exceeded the maximum allowable level, typically caused by regenerative energy from the motor.
Check for excessive deceleration rates and increase the decel time parameter. Verify that dynamic braking resistor (if installed) is correctly sized and connected. Reset the fault after correcting the condition. - Fault Code 7
- Motor Overload fault. The drive's electronic overload protection has detected sustained overcurrent conditions indicating motor overloading.
Check motor load for mechanical binding or excessive load. Verify motor nameplate data matches drive parameter settings. Reduce load or adjust overload parameters as appropriate. - Fault Code 12
- HW OverCurrent fault. Output current exceeded the hardware overcurrent trip threshold.
Check motor and output wiring for short circuits or ground faults. Verify motor insulation resistance. Inspect drive output transistors for damage. Clear the fault after resolving the root cause. - Fault Code 13
- Ground Fault. A ground fault has been detected on the drive output or motor wiring.
Disconnect the motor and measure insulation resistance from each output phase to ground. Inspect motor windings and output cabling for insulation breakdown. Replace damaged components before restarting. - Fault Code 33
- Auto Restart Tries fault. The drive attempted to automatically restart after a fault the maximum number of configured times without successfully resuming operation.
Investigate the underlying fault that triggered repeated restarts. Correct the root cause before manually resetting the drive. Review and adjust auto-restart parameters if necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the output current and horsepower rating of the 20AD027A0AYNANC0?
The 20AD027A0AYNANC0 is rated for 27 Amps continuous output current, corresponding to 15 HP (approximately 11 kW) at 480V AC three-phase input.
What input voltage does this PowerFlex 70 drive require?
This drive requires a 480V AC three-phase input supply, with an acceptable frequency range of 47 to 63 Hz.
What communication options are available on this drive?
The PowerFlex 70 platform supports a range of communication adapter options including EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, ControlNet, Profibus DP, and others via plug-in adapter modules. The specific communication option for this catalog number is encoded in the catalog string and should be verified against the Rockwell Automation product configurator.
Can the 20AD027A0AYNANC0 be used with an encoder for closed-loop speed control?
Yes, the PowerFlex 70 supports closed-loop speed control with an optional encoder feedback module. The drive can operate in sensorless vector mode without an encoder or in closed-loop vector mode with an encoder installed.
Is this drive compatible with Rockwell Automation Studio 5000 and RSLogix 5000 programming environments?
Yes, the PowerFlex 70 integrates with Rockwell Automation's Studio 5000 and RSLogix 5000 environments via Add-On Profiles when connected over EtherNet/IP or other supported network adapters, enabling seamless configuration and diagnostics within the Allen-Bradley control architecture.
Troubleshooting
Drive displays a fault code immediately upon power-up and will not run
Read the active fault code from the drive keypad or HIM display. Check parameter P168 (Fault 1 Code) for the most recent fault. Identify whether the fault is related to input power, internal hardware, or configuration.
Address the specific fault indicated. For power-related faults, verify three-phase input voltage at terminals R, S, T. For configuration faults, review motor nameplate parameters entered in the drive. Clear the fault using the Stop/Reset button or via network command after resolving the root cause.
Motor runs but speed does not match the commanded reference
Verify the speed reference source parameter (P090 Speed Reference) is set correctly. Check analog input signal levels at terminals if using an analog reference. Confirm that the maximum and minimum frequency parameters are configured appropriately.
Correct the speed reference source selection and verify signal wiring. Calibrate analog input scaling parameters. If using a network reference, confirm the commanded value being sent from the controller matches expectations.
Drive trips on Overvoltage fault during deceleration
Monitor the DC bus voltage during deceleration using the drive's real-time parameter monitoring. Determine if regenerative energy from the motor is causing the bus voltage to rise above the trip threshold.
Increase the deceleration time parameter to reduce regenerative energy. If fast deceleration is required, install and configure an appropriately sized dynamic braking resistor on the drive's braking transistor terminals. Verify the braking resistor wiring and resistance value.
Drive does not communicate over the network after installation
Verify the communication adapter module is correctly seated in the drive option slot. Check network cable connections and confirm the drive's node address or IP address parameters are correctly configured and do not conflict with other devices on the network.
Reseat the communication adapter module and power cycle the drive. Configure the correct network address parameters via the drive keypad. Use Rockwell Automation's RSLinx or Studio 5000 to browse the network and confirm device visibility. Check network switch port status and cable integrity.
Drive runs hot and triggers overtemperature faults
Check the ambient temperature around the drive installation. Inspect the drive's internal heatsink cooling fan for operation and airflow obstruction. Verify that minimum clearances above and below the drive are maintained per installation requirements.
Ensure ambient temperature does not exceed 40 degrees C without applying derating. Clean any dust or debris from the heatsink fins and cooling fan. Replace the cooling fan if it is not operating. Improve enclosure ventilation or add forced air cooling if ambient conditions are marginal.
