Rexroth IndraDrive HCS Error Code F8060

Rexroth PLC & VFD Critical Hardware

Model: IndraDrive HCS | Code: F8060

Applicable Systems
EFC FEX FEI HNC

Symptoms

Overcurrent detected in the power stage. The drive immediately trips and disables the IGBT output. The motor stops abruptly. The HMI shows F8060.

Possible Causes

  • IGBT power module short circuit
  • Motor winding short between phases or to ground
  • Output cable short circuit between phases
  • Mechanical load jam causing extreme current spike
  • Current measurement circuit failure giving false reading

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Step 1: Disconnect motor power cables (U, V, W) from the drive
    Drive reports no fault without motor connected → problem is in motor or cable
  2. Step 2: Measure motor winding resistance phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground
    Phase-to-phase resistance balanced within 5%; insulation to ground > 1MOhm
  3. Step 3: Check output cables for damage, short circuits, or insulation breakdown
    No continuity between phases or to ground in the cabling
  4. Step 4: If motor and cable are good, the drive IGBT module is shorted and must be replaced
    Replacement drive starts motor without overcurrent

How to Reset

1) Power off and wait for DC bus discharge. 2) Disconnect motor cables. 3) Megger test motor. 4) If motor is good, replace drive. 5) If motor is bad, repair/replace motor first. Caution: Never reconnect a shorted motor to a new drive.

Common Replacement Parts

  • R911319000: IndraDrive power module (Verify IGBT module part number)

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: What causes F8060 overcurrent on Rexroth drive?

    Most commonly: IGBT module short circuit, motor winding short, or output cable short. Also check for mechanical jams causing current spikes.

  • Q: Can I test if the drive or motor is at fault?

    Yes. Disconnect motor cables and power on the drive alone. If F8060 clears, the fault is in the motor or cable. If it persists, the drive IGBT is shorted.
