37

Device Changed (Same Type)

Vacon · 100 FLOW Application Guide

What does 37 mean?

A power unit or option board (in slot B, C, D, or E) has been replaced with a new one of the *same type and size* as previously used. The device is ready for use, and its original parameter settings are available. This is an informational fault indicating a successful, compatible hardware replacement.

Common Causes

  • Physical replacement of a power unit or an option board (e.g., in slot B, C, D, or E) with an identical spare part.
  • A parameter upload or download was performed that included device-specific configuration that triggered a hardware comparison.
  • Temporary disconnection and reconnection of an option board (e.g., for cleaning or inspection), triggering the detection.
  • Internal checksum error occurred during self-test, leading the drive to believe a component was changed.
  • System log entry confirming a successful hardware swap and parameter restoration.

Repair Steps & Checklist

    Acknowledge the fault/warning via the HMI or control system, which typically clears this informational message.

  3. 3

    Review the drive's parameter settings (e.g., P0-02 to P0-05) to ensure all application-specific parameters are correctly restored and active.
