The sensor for detecting the heatsink temperature is indicating undefined values. This prevents accurate monitoring of the heatsink's thermal status, potentially leading to overheating if not addressed.
Internal controller temperature sensor error
The sensor for detecting the internal temperature of the controller is indicating undefined values. This prevents accurate monitoring of the internal component temperature, risking damage from overheating.
Motor phase failure
A current-carrying motor phase has failed, or the current limit value is set too low. This monitoring function is only applicable for asynchronous motors and requires the MLP1 function block to be entered in C0465. Loss of a motor phase can cause motor damage.
Undervoltage in the DC bus
The DC bus voltage is lower than the value specified in C0173. This indicates insufficient input power to the drive, potentially due to issues with the mains voltage or supply cabling, preventing proper drive operation.
Speed control error
The motor speed is out of the tolerance margin defined by C0576. This typically occurs due to an excessively high active load (e.g., in hoists) or mechanical blockades, preventing the drive from achieving the commanded speed.
Maximum system speed exceeded
The maximum system speed, set by C0596, has been exceeded. This can be caused by an active load that is too high, the drive not being speed-controlled, or an excessively limited torque, leading to overspeed conditions.
Short circuit of motor cable
A short circuit is detected in the motor cable, or excessive capacitive charging current is flowing. This can cause immediate damage to the drive's output stage or the motor itself.
Motor cable earth fault
One of the motor phases has earth contact, indicating an insulation fault in the motor cable or motor windings. This presents a safety risk and can cause drive damage.
I x t overload
This fault indicates an overload condition based on current and time, caused by frequent and prolonged acceleration with overcurrent, or continuous overload with Imotor > 1.05 x Irx. This can lead to motor and drive overheating.
I²xt overload
This fault signifies a cumulative thermal overload condition based on the square of current and time, resulting from frequent and prolonged acceleration processes with motor overcurrent or permanent motor overload with Imotor > Irmotor. This can severely stress the motor and drive components.

Motor overtemperature (+150°C)
The motor temperature, detected via resolver or incremental encoder, has exceeded +150°C. This signifies severe thermal overload due to impermissible continuous current or frequent/prolonged acceleration processes. A missing PTC/temperature contact can also prevent proper monitoring.
Heatsink overtemperature (C0122)
The heatsink temperature has exceeded the threshold set in C0122. Causes include ambient temperatures above +40°C or +50°C, a dirty heatsink, an incorrect mounting position, or the value specified under C0122 being set too low.
Motor overtemperature (C0121)
The motor temperature, detected via resolver or incremental encoder, has exceeded the threshold set in C0121. This indicates thermal overload from impermissible continuous current, frequent/prolonged acceleration processes, or the C0121 value being set too low.
Motor overtemperature (T1/T2)
The motor temperature, measured via inputs T1 and T2, is too high. This signifies thermal overload due to impermissible continuous current or frequent/prolonged acceleration processes. It can also occur if terminals T1 and T2 are not connected to a PTC/temperature contact.
Overvoltage in DC bus
The DC bus voltage is higher than the value set in C0173, primarily caused by excessively high braking energy during deceleration. Sustained overvoltage can damage the drive's DC bus components.
Following error
The angle difference between the set and actual position is larger than the following error limit set under C0255. This indicates that the drive cannot accurately follow the commanded position or speed, possibly due to insufficient torque or excessive load.
Angle overrun
The phase controller limit has been reached, meaning the drive cannot follow the digital frequency due to hitting its Imax limit. This indicates the drive is being commanded beyond its current capability, potentially causing instability.
CAN sync telegram transfer error
The sync telegram from the master (PLC) is out of sync cycle or not received, indicating a communication issue. This can also occur if the controller is enabled too fast, before the sync telegrams are stable.
Input values at X9 are limited
The function block DFIN is limiting the input values at X9, which causes a loss of increments. This suggests an issue with the digital frequency connection or a mismatch in master/slave settings, affecting precise control.
Program error
An error has been detected in the program flow of the device. This signifies an internal software issue that prevents normal operation.
Fault during parameter initialisation
An error was detected during the parameter set transfer between two devices, or the parameter set does not match the controller (e.g., if data was transferred from a higher-power controller to a lower-power controller). This can lead to incorrect drive configuration.
Error during rotor position adjustment
The rotor position adjustment process was cancelled, often because an Sd7 or Sd8 error occurred during adjustment with an absolute value encoder. Without a successfully executed rotor position adjustment, the drive may carry out uncontrolled movements.
Error in parameter set
This error occurs when the operating system software has been updated and requires the storage of the Lenze setting to ensure compatibility. This typically happens after a firmware upgrade.
Checksum error in parameter set 1
A fault occurred when loading parameter set 1, which could be due to an interruption during transmission via the keypad or incompatibility between the stored parameters and the loaded software version. The Lenze setting is loaded automatically.
Resolver error at X7
The resolver cable connected to X7 is interrupted, or the resolver itself is faulty. This prevents accurate motor position feedback, which is crucial for precise motor control.
Encoder error at X9
The encoder cable connected to X9 is interrupted, or pin X9/8 is not connected (input signal 'Lamp Control' at X9/8 is LOW). This leads to a loss of encoder feedback, which can cause uncontrolled drive movements if not addressed.
Encoder error at X6/1 and X6/2
The current signal at analog input X6/1 and X6/2 is less than 2mA, indicating an issue with the encoder or its wiring. This monitoring is only possible if C0034 = 1, and its failure means loss of accurate position feedback.
Motor temperature sensor error
The encoder for detecting the motor temperature at X7 or X8 is indicating undefined values. This prevents proper motor thermal protection and could lead to motor damage due to overheating.
Absolute value encoder initialisation error at X8
The absolute value encoder at X8 has an initialisation error, is defective, or is not sending data. This may also occur if the encoder constant (C0420) for C0025=309 is altered. An uninitialised encoder can lead to uncontrolled drive movements.
SinCos encoder error at X8
The SinCos encoder at X8 is sending inconsistent data, indicating damaged tracks, high interference levels on the cable, or an open circuit. It could also be due to an incorrect encoder type or improperly set supply voltage.
Motor Overtemperature (150°C)
The motor temperature has exceeded 150°C (displayed as OH3). This is monitored by the MCTRL function and related to parameter C0583. Continued operation under this condition will lead to rapid degradation and destruction of the motor windings and insulation.

The heatsink temperature has exceeded the threshold defined in parameter C0122 (displayed as OH4). This condition is monitored by the MCTRL function and related to parameter C0582, indicating a configurable heatsink thermal protection limit has been reached.
Motor Overtemperature (Configurable)
The motor temperature has exceeded the threshold defined in parameter C0121 (displayed as OH7). This condition is monitored by the MCTRL function and related to parameter C0584, indicating a configurable motor thermal protection limit has been reached. Operation above this threshold risks motor damage.
Motor Overtemperature (T1/T2 Input)
The motor temperature, as measured across inputs T1 and T2 from a PTC resistor or thermal contact, is too high (display OH8 on keypad). This condition is monitored by the MCTRL function and its response can be set via parameter C0585. Operating with this fault not eliminated can destroy the drive if C0585 is set to 'Warning' (2) or 'Off' (3). An 'open' cable on T1, T2 can act as an antenna and cause faults. Only one PTC resistor should be connected; multiple in series or parallel will result in incorrect temperature measurement.

A communication error (displayed as CE3) has occurred at the process data input object CAN3_IN. The monitoring time for this error can be set with parameter C0357/3. This indicates an issue with receiving process data on CAN channel 3, potentially due to incorrect wiring, termination, or a bus fault.
CAN Bus-Off State
The system bus (CAN) has entered a BUS-OFF state (displayed as CE4), indicating that too many faulty telegrams have been transmitted. This often means the CAN node has ceased transmitting due to excessive errors. The monitoring relates to parameter C0595 and typically points to severe bus communication problems.
Motor Thermal Sensor Error
A thermal sensor error has occurred at the motor (displayed as Sd6), specifically at terminals X7 or X8. This indicates a problem with the motor's temperature sensing circuit, such as a broken sensor or incorrect wiring. This condition is monitored by the MCTRL function and related to parameter C0594.
