F7013

Velocity threshold exceeded

Indramat · Indradrive

What does F7013 mean?

The motor's actual velocity has exceeded a safety-related velocity threshold. This fault is part of safe motion monitoring (e.g., Safely Limited Speed) and is triggered when the axis moves faster than permitted under certain safety conditions, potentially leading to a hazardous situation.

Common Causes

  • Uncontrolled increase in motor speed.
  • Incorrectly configured safety-related velocity threshold parameter (e.g., S-0-0XXX Safe Velocity Threshold).
  • Faulty speed feedback from the encoder providing incorrect actual velocity.
  • External forces driving the motor.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify the configured safety-related velocity threshold parameter in the IndraDrive against the safety requirements.

  2. 2

    Check the motor encoder for correct operation, secure mounting, and reliable speed signal output.

  3. 3

    Review the motion control program for any commands that might cause the motor to exceed the threshold.

  4. 4

    Inspect for external mechanical forces that could be driving the motor beyond the commanded speed.

  5. 5

    Re-tune the speed control loop to ensure stable velocity control and prevent overshooting of commanded speeds.
