E8260

Torque/force command value limit active

Indramat · IndraDrive MPx02

What does E8260 mean?

The torque or force command value issued to the IndraDrive MPx02 is being limited by a configured maximum value. This indicates that the requested torque/force from the master controller exceeds the drive's or application's set limit, and the drive is capping the output.

Common Causes

  • The master controller is commanding a torque/force value greater than the configured limit in the IndraDrive MPx02 (e.g., S-0-0092).
  • The torque/force limit parameter is set too low for the required application performance.
  • An external load or condition requires more torque than commanded, leading to the drive hitting its limit even with a lower command.
  • Incorrect scaling factors or units used for torque/force commands between the master and drive.
  • A safety function or operating mode has imposed a lower torque limit.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify the commanded torque/force value from the master control system (PLC/CNC) and compare it against the drive's configured torque/force limit (e.g., S-0-0092).

  2. 2

    If the application requires higher torque/force, and the motor/drive system can safely provide it, increase the torque/force limit parameter in the IndraDrive MPx02 configuration.

  3. 3

    Assess if the mechanical load is higher than expected, requiring more torque than anticipated by the control program.

  4. 4

    Review any scaling factors or units used for torque/force commands to ensure they are consistent between the master controller and the drive.

  5. 5

    Check if any safety-related torque limitations are active and overriding the standard operating limits.
