Symptoms

Motor speed exceeded the maximum allowable speed: min(p1082, CI: p1085) + p2162.

Possible Causes

  • Maximum speed parameter P1082 set incorrectly
  • Overspeed margin P2162 set too small
  • Motor encoder fault
  • Dynamic optimization insufficient
  • Load surge causing speed spike

Troubleshooting Steps

  • For positive direction: check r1084, set P1082, CI:P1085 and P2162 correctly
  • For negative direction: check r1087, set P1082, CI:P1088 and P2162 correctly
  • Activate speed limit controller feedforward (P1401.7=1)
  • Increase overspeed margin P2162 (upper limit depends on P0322 and P1082)
  • Check encoder functionality
  • For lifting equipment: check brake release logic during load descent

How to Reset

Reset by: 1) Correct the fault condition. 2) Press RESET button or send reset command via communication. 3) Verify fault does not recur during operation.
