5 - FAULTS - DIAGNOSTICS
Faults are indicated on the CDC-VMA console or on the PC/PEGASE VMA 20 software.
With the PEGASE VMA 20 software, faults are indicated in plain text in the fault window.
The table below can be used to analyse faults and specifies any checks which should be performed.

FAULTS - DIAGNOSTICS
Checks to make, possible causes
- Check whether the motor is overloaded (green LED + red LED flashing).
- Check the set rating and the motor power.
- Make sure that the boost setting (P11) has not been modified.
- Current threshold reached for torque limiting.
- Check that there is no short-circuit on a motor winding or on the connections.
- Check the voltage balance between the supply phases and earth: check that there
is no earth fault.
- Check the motor insulation.
- Check the earth connection and the voltage balancing between earth and
the supply phases.
- Check that the deceleration ramp is long enough for applications with high inertia.
- Check the set rating and the motor power.
- Check that the deceleration ramp is long enough for applications with high inertia.
- Internal fault in the product.
- Check whether the motor is overloaded or has stalled (green LED flashing).
- Make sure that the VARMECA 20 is not disturbed by interference.
- Internal fault in the product.
- Communication fault between the EEPROM and the micro-controller - product
- The pressure is less than pressure P1 (set by P51), check the pressure,
or
- the sensor feedback is inactive, check that the cable has not been cut,
or
- the sensor is incorrectly wired up,
or
- the wrong type of feedback (0/10V or 4/20mA) has been selected.
- Motor overloaded, ensure that the rated power has not been exceeded.
- Drive in current limiting mode, ensure that the current required for the
load is within the drive limits (measured using the motor current clamp
as described in the setup manual).
- The drive is disabled, make sure there is a jumper between terminals
1 and 3 to unlock it.
FAULT SPECIFIC TO USE OF THE CDC-VMA 20 CONSOLE
- Check the connection cable.
FAULT SPECIFIC TO USE OF THE PEGASE VMA 20 SOFTWARE
- Check the connection cable.
- Check that the VARMECA 20 is correctly supplied.
- Check that the serial port is correctly configured.
