Autotuning fault

Schindler · Easy Altivar ATV310 Drive

What does F028 mean?

This ATV310 fault occurs when the drive's auto-tuning function fails to complete successfully. This can be caused by the motor not being properly connected, a motor phase loss during the tuning process, using a special motor type incompatible with standard autotuning, or the motor rotating during the tuning procedure.

Common Causes

  • Motor is not connected to the drive output during the autotuning process
  • Motor phase loss detected during the autotuning procedure
  • Special motor type that is not compatible with the drive's standard autotuning algorithm
  • Motor is rotating (e.g., being driven by the load) when autotuning is initiated

  3. 3

    If an output contactor is being used downstream of the drive, ensure it is closed and energized during auto-tuning.

  4. 4

    Check that the motor is completely stopped and uncoupled from the load, if possible, before initiating autotuning.
