OVERSPEED FAULT
Otis · DSD 412 DC Elevator Drive
What does 97 mean?
The motor speed has exceeded the trip level configured in parameter #1, #11, or #12. Parameter #12 is a percentage of the motor speed value set in parameter #1, as measured by the encoder.
Common Causes
- Incorrect setting of parameter #1, #11, or #12 above the motor's rated speed.
- Poor speed regulator tuning, indicated by incorrect values in parameters #40, #41, or #42.
- Velocity reference input is set above the motor's rated speed.
- Intermittent operation or signal loss from the velocity encoder.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Check parameters #1, #11, and #12 to ensure the trip level is set below the motor's rated speed.
- 2
