Parameter Storage Device Fault
Mitsubishi Electric · FR-D700 Inverter
What does Parameter storage device fault mean?
An abnormality has occurred in the component (control circuit board) where parameters are stored. This suggests a hardware issue with the inverter's non-volatile memory, potentially leading to incorrect operation, loss of critical settings, or failure to save new parameters. Frequent parameter writes for communication purposes can stress this component.
Common Causes
- Internal EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) or Flash memory corruption due to power transient.
- Degradation or failure of the non-volatile memory chip on the inverter's control board.
- EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) causing data corruption during parameter writes or reads.
- Manufacturing defect in the memory module or its associated control circuitry.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Document all current parameter settings by manually recording them or using configuration software (e.g., FR-Configurator2).
- 2
Attempt to initialize all parameters to their factory default settings (e.g., Pr. 77 set to 1 or 2, then cycle power).
- 3
Re-enter all necessary parameters from the recorded list after initialization.
- 4
Perform a firmware update for the inverter to potentially overwrite corrupted memory sectors (if applicable).
- 5
If the fault persists, replacement of the inverter's control board is necessary as the memory device is typically integrated.
