Common Fault Codes
- Fault Code F002
- Auxiliary Input fault. The auxiliary input interlock has opened, indicating an external fault condition has been detected via the digital input configured as auxiliary.
Check the external device or circuit connected to the auxiliary input. Verify wiring integrity and confirm the external interlock condition has been cleared before resetting the drive. - Fault Code F004
- Power Loss fault. DC bus voltage dropped below the minimum threshold during operation, indicating an input power interruption or severe voltage sag.
Check incoming AC supply voltage for sags, phase loss, or interruptions. Verify input fusing and connections. If power quality is poor, consider adding line reactors or an uninterruptible power supply. - Fault Code F005
- Overvoltage fault. The DC bus voltage exceeded the maximum allowable level, typically caused by regenerative energy from a decelerating load.
Increase the deceleration time parameter to reduce regenerative energy. If the application requires fast deceleration, install a dynamic braking resistor and enable the brake transistor function. - Fault Code F006
- Undervoltage fault. The DC bus voltage fell below the minimum operating threshold during run, indicating low input voltage or a momentary power interruption.
Measure the incoming AC supply voltage and verify it is within the rated range of 342-528V AC. Check for loose input connections, blown fuses, or upstream supply issues. - Fault Code F007
- Motor Overload fault. The drive's electronic thermal overload protection has tripped, indicating the motor has been operating above its rated current for an extended period.
Check the motor load for mechanical binding or excessive load. Verify motor nameplate FLA is correctly entered in the drive parameters. Allow the motor to cool before resetting. - Fault Code F012
- Hardware Overcurrent fault. Output current exceeded the drive's instantaneous overcurrent trip threshold, indicating a short circuit, ground fault, or sudden load spike.
Check motor and output wiring for short circuits or ground faults. Verify the motor is not mechanically seized. Inspect output terminals and cable insulation. Do not restart until the fault cause is identified. - Fault Code F033
- Auto-Tune fault. The automatic motor tuning procedure failed to complete successfully, which may result in suboptimal motor control performance.
Ensure the motor is disconnected from the load during auto-tune if possible. Verify motor nameplate data is correctly entered. Check that the motor is not in a fault condition and retry the auto-tune procedure. - Fault Code F111
- Safe Torque-Off (STO) fault. The STO input signal has been removed or an STO circuit fault has been detected, disabling drive output as a safety response.
Verify the STO wiring at the dedicated STO terminals. Confirm the safety circuit or safety relay is functioning correctly and providing the required 24V DC signal. Check for wiring faults or open circuits in the STO loop.

Troubleshooting
Drive displays a fault code immediately upon power-up and will not run
Read the active fault code from the drive display or via connected software such as Connected Components Workbench. Check fault history parameters to identify if the fault is persistent or intermittent.
Address the specific fault condition indicated by the code. Common causes include incorrect wiring, STO circuit not energized, or a pre-existing overcurrent condition. Clear the fault after resolving the root cause and attempt a controlled restart.
Drive powers up but motor does not rotate when a run command is issued
Verify that the run command source matches the configured control source parameter (terminal block, keypad, or network). Check that the speed reference is non-zero and that the STO input is properly energized.
Confirm control source and speed reference parameters are correctly configured. Verify all enable and run input wiring at the terminal block. Ensure the STO terminals are wired and the safety circuit is active.
Drive trips on Overvoltage fault during deceleration
Monitor the DC bus voltage during deceleration using the drive's diagnostic parameters. Confirm whether the deceleration ramp time is set too short for the connected load inertia.
Increase the deceleration time parameter to allow the DC bus voltage to remain within limits. If fast deceleration is required by the application, connect an appropriately sized external braking resistor to the brake transistor terminals and enable the braking function in the drive parameters.
EtherNet/IP communication is not established between the drive and the controller
Check the drive's IP address configuration and verify it matches the address expected by the Logix controller. Inspect the Ethernet cable and switch port for link activity. Use the drive's network status LEDs to identify the communication state.
Assign a valid and unique IP address to the drive either via BOOTP/DHCP or by setting it manually through the drive keypad or Connected Components Workbench. Verify the EtherNet/IP connection path in the Logix project matches the drive's configured IP address and ensure the network switch is operational.
Motor runs but exhibits unstable speed or excessive current draw
Check that motor nameplate data entered in the drive parameters (voltage, current, frequency, RPM, power factor) is accurate. Verify that the control mode is appropriate for the application and that auto-tune has been performed.
Correct any motor nameplate parameter entries and perform the auto-tune procedure with the motor connected and, where possible, decoupled from the load. If sensorless vector control is in use, ensure the motor cable length is within recommended limits and that no output filters are affecting the tuning result.
