Error of output stage interlock
Indramat · Indradrive
What does F7043 mean?
This safety fault indicates a problem with the interlock circuit that controls the output stage (power section) of the drive. The interlock is a critical safety mechanism that prevents the drive from applying power to the motor unless all safety conditions are met, and an error means it's not functioning correctly.
Common Causes
- Faulty internal hardware (e.g., relays, contactors) of the output stage interlock.
- Short circuit or open circuit in the interlock control path.
- Incorrect external wiring to safety inputs, preventing the interlock from being correctly released.
- Internal diagnostic failure of the safety module monitoring the interlock.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Cycle power to the IndraDrive.
- 2
Verify all external safety input signals (e.g., STO, enable) are present and correctly wired, ensuring they are not preventing the interlock from clearing.
- 3
Review relevant safety parameters in the IndraDrive that control the output stage interlock.
- 4
Check the drive's internal diagnostics (if available) for specific error codes related to the output stage or safety relays.
- 5
If the fault persists after external checks, the drive's safety module or power section hardware likely requires service or replacement.
