oL4

Overtorque 2

Yaskawa · J1000

What does oL4 mean?

The drive's output current (or calculated torque in OLV, CLV, AOLV/PM, CLV/PM modes) has exceeded the threshold set in L6-05 for longer than the time specified in L6-06. Similar to Overtorque 1, this suggests either parameter misconfiguration or a significant mechanical overload on the driven equipment. Sustained overtorque conditions can result in mechanical stress, equipment damage, or shortened lifespan of motor and machine components.

Common Causes

  • Persistent high mechanical load or friction in the driven equipment.
  • Incorrect parameter setting for L6-05 (Overtorque 2 Detection Level) set too low.
  • Incorrect parameter setting for L6-06 (Overtorque 2 Detection Time) set too short.
  • Motor experiencing sustained operation beyond its continuous rated torque.
  • Misalignment or wear in bearings or other mechanical components leading to increased friction.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Inspect the mechanical system for signs of wear, misalignment, or components requiring lubrication.

  2. 2

    Monitor the drive's output current (A) and torque feedback (if available) during the process cycle.

  3. 3

    Review parameter L6-05 (Overtorque 2 Detection Level) and L6-06 (Overtorque 2 Detection Time); adjust as necessary.

  4. 4

    Confirm motor nameplate data (e.g., rated current, rated torque) is accurately configured in P1-01 to P1-08.

  5. 5

    Perform a no-load test on the motor and driven equipment to establish a baseline current.

  6. 6

    Measure actual mechanical torque at the load using a torque wrench (if feasible) to correlate with drive readings.
