Common Fault Codes
- Fault Code 2
- Auxiliary Input fault. The auxiliary input interlock has opened, indicating an external fault condition has been triggered via the auxiliary input terminal.
Check the wiring and status of the device connected to the auxiliary input terminal. Clear the external fault condition and reset the drive. - Fault Code 12
- HW OverCurrent fault. The drive output current has exceeded the hardware overcurrent trip threshold, typically caused by a short circuit or severe motor overload.
Check motor and output wiring for short circuits or ground faults. Verify motor load is within drive rating. Inspect motor for mechanical overload conditions. - Fault Code 13
- Ground Fault. A ground fault has been detected on the drive output, indicating current leakage to earth from the motor or output wiring.
Disconnect the motor and check output wiring insulation resistance to ground. Inspect motor windings for insulation breakdown. Replace damaged cables or motor as required. - Fault Code 25
- Drive OverTemp fault. The drive heatsink temperature has exceeded the maximum allowable limit, indicating inadequate cooling or excessive ambient temperature.
Check that cooling fans are operational and airflow is unobstructed. Verify ambient temperature is within specification. Clean heatsink fins if blocked. Check for excessive load causing high output current. - Fault Code 33
- Auto Restart Tries fault. The drive has attempted to automatically restart the maximum number of times following a fault without successfully running, and has locked out.
Identify and resolve the underlying fault that caused repeated restarts. Manually reset the drive after correcting the root cause. Review fault queue for the initiating fault code. - Fault Code 38
- Phase Loss fault. Loss of one or more input AC supply phases has been detected, which can cause unbalanced operation and potential drive damage.
Check incoming three-phase supply voltage at all three input terminals. Inspect input fuses, contactors, and supply wiring for open circuits. Restore balanced three-phase supply before restarting. - Fault Code 71
- Safe Torque-Off (STO) fault. The safe torque-off function has been activated, removing gate drive signals from the output power devices.
Verify that the STO input signals are correctly wired and that the safety circuit is in the correct state for operation. Check safety relay or controller outputs feeding the STO terminals. Reset the drive after confirming safe conditions. - Fault Code 81
- EtherNet/IP Communication Loss fault. The drive has lost communication with the EtherNet/IP network controller or scanner within the configured timeout period.
Check EtherNet/IP cable connections and network switch status. Verify the controller is in Run mode and the drive is correctly configured in the I/O tree. Check drive IP address settings and network topology for faults.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the output current and horsepower rating of the 20F11ND027AA0NNNNN?
The 20F11ND027AA0NNNNN is rated for 27 amps continuous output current, corresponding to a 15 kW (20 HP) motor at 480V AC three-phase.
Does the PowerFlex 753 20F11ND027AA0NNNNN include a built-in EtherNet/IP port?
Yes, the PowerFlex 753 includes an embedded dual-port EtherNet/IP communication interface as standard, allowing direct connection to Logix-based controllers without an additional communication module.
What safety function is supported by this drive?
The 20F11ND027AA0NNNNN supports the Safe Torque-Off (STO) safety function, which is rated to SIL 2 and PLd. This function removes gate drive signals from the output power devices without removing main power from the drive.
Can the PowerFlex 753 be used for closed-loop vector control with an encoder?
Yes, closed-loop vector control with encoder feedback is supported. An encoder feedback option card must be installed in one of the internal option card slots to enable this functionality.
What software is used to configure and program the PowerFlex 753?
The PowerFlex 753 can be configured using Rockwell Automation Studio 5000 Logix Designer for integrated Logix projects, or Connected Components Workbench for standalone configuration. The DriveExecutive and DriveObserver tools can also be used for parameter management and diagnostics.
Troubleshooting
Drive displays a Ground Fault (Fault Code 13) immediately on start command
Disconnect the motor cables from the drive output terminals T1, T2, T3 and attempt to run the drive unloaded. If the fault clears, the fault is in the motor or output cabling. Measure insulation resistance from each output phase to PE ground using a megohmmeter.
Replace damaged motor output cables if insulation resistance is below acceptable limits. If the motor windings show low insulation resistance, the motor requires rewinding or replacement. Ensure cable shielding is correctly terminated at one end only.
Drive powers up but EtherNet/IP communication cannot be established with the controller
Verify the drive IP address using the integral HIM or parameter P-IN Port 1 IP Address. Check that the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway are correctly configured and match the network segment. Confirm the EtherNet/IP cable is connected and the link LED on the drive port is active.
Correct any IP address conflicts or misconfiguration using Connected Components Workbench or the HIM. Ensure the drive module is correctly added to the controller I/O configuration in Studio 5000 with matching electronic keying settings. Replace the Ethernet cable if the link LED does not illuminate.
Drive trips on OverTemp (Fault Code 25) during normal operation
Check the heatsink temperature using drive parameter monitoring. Inspect the cooling fan operation by listening for fan noise and checking airflow at the heatsink. Measure ambient temperature inside the enclosure and compare against the 40 degrees C base rating.
Clean heatsink fins with compressed air if dust-blocked. Replace the internal cooling fan if it is not running or running slowly. Add supplemental enclosure ventilation or air conditioning if ambient temperature exceeds specification. Apply derating if operating above 40 degrees C ambient.
Motor runs but speed does not match the commanded reference
Check the speed reference source parameter to confirm the correct reference input is selected (EtherNet/IP, analog input, or preset speed). Measure the analog input signal level at the drive terminals if an analog reference is used. Review the minimum and maximum frequency parameters for incorrect scaling.
Correct the speed reference source parameter to match the intended control method. Recalibrate analog input scaling parameters if the analog signal range does not match the configured input range. Verify that the commanded reference value from the controller is correct using the drive diagnostic parameters.
Safe Torque-Off (STO) fault (Fault Code 71) prevents drive from running
Check the STO input terminals on the drive control board. Measure the DC voltage present at the STO input pins. The STO function requires a valid 24V DC signal on both STO input channels to allow the drive to run. Inspect the safety relay or safety controller output feeding the STO circuit.
Restore the 24V DC signal to both STO input channels by ensuring the safety circuit is in the run-permissive state. Check safety relay contacts and wiring continuity to the STO terminals. If the safety device has tripped, identify and resolve the safety event before re-enabling the STO circuit and resetting the drive.
