External fault

What does EPF mean?

This fault is triggered by an external condition or device connected to a logic input configured for external fault detection. This input is typically connected to a safety circuit, thermal switch, or another protective device. If the external fault condition persists, the drive will remain in a fault state, preventing operation until the external issue is cleared, ensuring machine and personnel safety.
