E2051

Motor overtemp. prewarning

Bosch Rexroth · IndraDrive C Drive Controllers

What does E2051 mean?

This is a prewarning indicating that the motor temperature has reached an elevated level, approaching its thermal limits. Continued operation at this temperature could lead to motor damage or a full shutdown.

Common Causes

  • Motor running at excessive load for extended periods.
  • Inadequate motor cooling due to blocked vents, fan failure, or high ambient temperature.
  • Incorrect motor parameters configured in the drive, leading to improper current control.
  • Faulty motor temperature sensor or wiring.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Check the mechanical load on the motor and ensure it is within specified limits for continuous operation.

  2. 2

    Verify the motor's cooling system (fans, fins) is clean and functioning correctly. Ensure adequate airflow around the motor.

  3. 3

    Inspect motor cabling and connections for damage or loose terminals that could cause increased resistance and heat.

  4. 4

    Review drive parameters related to motor thermal model and current limits. Compare with motor nameplate data.

  5. 5

    Monitor the motor temperature using external means if possible, and compare with the drive's reported temperature to verify sensor accuracy.
