92

Parameter value exceeds the min/max limits

Danfoss · VLT Micro Drive FC 51

What does 92 mean?

An attempt was made to set a parameter value that falls outside its defined minimum or maximum limits. This is a common error when entering values manually via the LCP or programmatically via communication, protecting the drive from unsafe or illogical settings.

Common Causes

  • Manual input error via LCP, typing a value beyond the parameter's defined range (e.g., setting Parameter 4-12, 'Max output frequency', above 500 Hz).
  • Programmatic attempt via communication (e.g., Modbus) to write a value that is outside the parameter's valid numerical boundaries.
  • An external control signal (e.g., 0-10V analog input scaled by Parameter 6-10) is trying to set a reference value that results in an out-of-range parameter update.
  • Autotuning or calibration process attempting to calculate a parameter value that exceeds the drive's physical or software limits.
  • Changing a related parameter (e.g., Parameter 4-12, 'Max output frequency') forces another dependent parameter (e.g., Parameter 4-14, 'Max speed') out of its limits.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Review the drive's programming manual for the specific parameter to confirm its precise minimum and maximum permissible values.

  2. 2

    Adjust the entered value (via LCP or communication) to be within the documented min/max limits of the parameter.

  3. 3

    Check scaling of analog inputs (e.g., Parameter 6-10, 'Min reference', and Parameter 6-11, 'Max reference') to ensure the input signal does not produce an out-of-range value.

  4. 4

    Examine any interdependencies between parameters (e.g., ensure Parameter 4-13, 'Min output frequency', is less than Parameter 4-12, 'Max output frequency').

  5. 5

    If using communication protocols, verify the data type and range mapping in the PLC or HMI program matches the drive's parameter specifications.
