031

Starting Frequency Exceeds Upper Limit

Omron · MX2 Inverter

What does 031 mean?

This warning occurs when the inverter's starting frequency (b082) is set higher than the defined frequency upper limit (A061). This configuration is contradictory and may prevent the inverter from starting or operating as intended within its defined frequency limits.

Common Causes

  • b082 (Starting Frequency) was manually configured to a value exceeding A061 (Frequency Upper Limit).
  • A061 (Frequency Upper Limit) was inadvertently lowered to a value below the intended starting frequency b082.
  • Restoration of an incompatible parameter set where b082 was saved with a higher value than the current A061.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Access parameters b082 (Starting Frequency) and A061 (Frequency Upper Limit). Compare their values.

  2. 2

    Adjust b082 (Starting Frequency) to be less than or equal to A061 (Frequency Upper Limit).

  3. 3

    Alternatively, if the application requires b082 to be higher, increase A061 (Frequency Upper Limit) to be equal to or greater than b082, ensuring A061 does not exceed A004 (Inverter Max Frequency).

  4. 4

    Save the parameter changes and power cycle the drive to confirm the settings are active.

  5. 5

    Initiate a start command and observe the drive's behavior to ensure it starts smoothly without the warning.
