External Fault (Terminal S4)

What does EF4 mean?

This fault indicates that an external device triggered a fault via the Multi-Function Digital Input (MFDI) terminal S4, or there is incorrect wiring to S4, or the terminal is incorrectly configured for an external fault despite not being in use. This causes the drive to halt operation based on an external signal, potentially stopping connected machinery.
