Pr4

Defective Parameter Set 4

Lenze · 8200 Series

What does Pr4 mean?

Parameter set 4 within the controller has become defective, likely due to an interrupted or faulty transfer from the keypad. This indicates a corruption in a specific configuration set, which can prevent proper drive operation when that set is active. Operating with corrupted parameters can lead to unpredictable behavior.

Common Causes

  • Incomplete data transmission during saving or loading of parameter set 4 from an external device (e.g., keypad, PC).
  • Fluctuating internal bus voltage on the controller's mainboard, affecting EEPROM write stability for parameter set 4.
  • Wear-out or failure of specific memory cells allocated for parameter set 4 storage in the controller's non-volatile memory.
  • Unexpected controller reset or power cycle occurring precisely while parameter set 4 data was being written.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Confirm that the power supply to the controller is within specified limits and free of sags/surges (e.g., measure with a true RMS multimeter).

  2. 2

    Re-download a validated backup of parameter set 4 from the engineering workstation or an SD card.

  3. 3

    Ensure the programming device (keypad/PC) remains connected and powered throughout the entire parameter transfer process.

  4. 4

    Perform a factory default reset on the controller (e.g., set Parameter F00 = 0) and then re-enter the settings for parameter set 4.

  5. 5

    Check for any loose internal connectors or visible damage on the controller's main PCB, especially near memory components.
