Overcurrent Fault

What does 12 mean?

This fault is triggered by the hardware trip circuit detecting an excessive current condition at the controller's output. This is a critical fault that can be caused by a short circuit in the motor windings or wiring, or by severe overload conditions. Ignoring this can lead to immediate damage to the controller's output stage or the motor.
