Symptoms

In vector control mode, the drive detected motor loss of slip for longer than P2178 setting.

Possible Causes

  • Motor slip detection activated via r1408.12 (p1745)
  • Excitation time (P0346) too short
  • Current limit (P0640) too low for sufficient excitation
  • Motor cable disconnected
  • Motor encoder fault
  • Power device fault
  • Main power phase loss in PM230/PM250/PM260
  • Heavy load or brake logic issue

Troubleshooting Steps

  • Execute motor data detection and rotational detection
  • Check if drive stalls under load with zero speed command - increase P1610 current setpoint
  • Check motor cable connection
  • Check encoder functionality
  • Check power device and power unit for phase loss
  • Verify load conditions and brake operation

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.
