External fault 1

What does F07860 mean?

An external condition has triggered "External fault 1," typically via binector input p2106. This fault indicates a critical external issue that has caused the drive to trip. The drive will cease operation, and the external problem must be identified and resolved before the drive can be reset and restarted, ensuring the safety and integrity of the overall system.

• External safety device (e.g., overtravel limit switch, safety guard interlock, emergency stop) or critical sensor connected to a digital input (e.g., P2106) has triggered a fault state.
• Overload or fault condition in an external component (e.g., external motor, gearbox, pump) being monitored by the drive.
• Wiring fault (short-circuit to ground or supply, open circuit) on the digital input configured for 'External Fault 1'.
• Power supply interruption or failure to the external device that is providing the fault signal.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Identify the specific digital input (e.g., P2106) configured to trigger 'External Fault 1' and the associated external device.

2. 2

   Inspect the external device's status (e.g., limit switch position, safety interlock closure, sensor output) and its wiring for damage or loose connections.

3. 3

   Measure the voltage level at the specific digital input terminal (e.g., X130/DIx) to confirm the signal status.

4. 4

   Temporarily bypass the external input (if safe to do so and permitted by safety regulations) to determine if the fault originates from the external device or the drive's input circuit.

5. 5

   Check parameter P2106 for the configured signal logic (high-active or low-active) to ensure correct interpretation of the input state.
