Internal Fault
Schneider Electric · Altivar Machine ATV340 Programming
¿Qué significa -InF ?
This fault signifies a general internal malfunction within the drive controller, possibly related to internal circuitry or connections. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can sometimes induce such faults, or it could be a hardware failure. Continued operation with an internal fault is not possible and requires immediate attention to prevent further damage or unexpected behavior.
Causas comunes
- Electromagnetic interference (EMI) exceeding the drive's immunity levels, affecting internal control logic or processors.
- Malfunctioning internal power supply components (e.g., DC-DC converters) on the control board within the drive.
- Loose internal connections or ribbon cables within the drive enclosure, leading to intermittent signal loss.
- Corruption of internal firmware or memory due to severe power fluctuations or unexpected shutdowns.
- Aging or defective internal components (e.g., capacitors, ICs) failing due to thermal stress or lifespan limitations.
Pasos de reparación & Lista de verificación
Haga clic en los pasos para seguir su progreso.
- 1
Cycle input power (L1, L2, L3) to the drive controller completely OFF for 5 minutes, then switch ON again.
- 2
Verify proper grounding of the drive controller and motor according to installation guidelines. Measure ground resistance.
- 3
Inspect the drive's internal components for visible damage (e.g., bulging capacitors, burnt resistors) if safe and accessible (power OFF).
- 4
Check all internal ribbon cable connections within the drive controller for secure seating and proper alignment (power OFF).
- 5
Review the input power quality for transient voltage spikes or sags using a power quality analyzer.
