PowerFlex 755 fault codes

This chapter provides a comprehensive guide for troubleshooting Allen Bradley PowerFlex 750-Series faults, alarms, and configurable conditions, ensuring efficient and effective maintenance.

PowerFlex 755 Drive Troubleshooting Summary:

Faults and Alarms:

    Faults: Categorized into three types: Auto Reset Run, Resettable, and Non-Resettable.
    Alarms: Divided into two types: Type 1 (user-configurable) and Type 2 (non-configurable and prevents drive start).
    Configurable Conditions: Can be set by the user as an alarm or fault.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance:

    Fault Display: Automatically appears in case of a fault, showing the fault code, description, and elapsed time.
    Clearing Faults: After acknowledging and addressing the cause, faults can be cleared via the HIM or by power cycling.

Additional Information:

    Fault and Alarm Codes: Displayed in formats varying with the port and event number, ensuring precise identification.
    Hardware Service Manual and System Resource Allocation: Provide guidance for maintenance and managing system resources.

Refer to the relevant sections of the user manual for detailed information and procedures.


0- No Entry: The table includes a fault labeled "No Entry", but no further details are provided for this specific fault.

2- Auxiliary Input: This is a resettable fault. When triggered, the drive will coast. The fault indicates that an auxiliary input interlock is open.

3- Power Loss: This fault can be configured using the parameter P449 [Power Loss Actn]. When the DC bus voltage stays below a certain level for longer than the allowed time, this fault is activated.

4- UnderVoltage: Configured using P460 [UnderVltg Action], this fault indicates that the bus voltage has fallen below a specified value, signaling an undervoltage condition.

5- OverVoltage: A resettable fault where the DC bus voltage surpasses its maximum limit, causing the drive to coast.

7- Motor Overload: Configurable with P410 [Motor OL Actn], this fault is triggered when the drive experiences an internal electronic overload.

8- Heatsink OvrTemp: When the heatsink temperature goes beyond the drive's specified temperature, this resettable fault is activated. Specifically, heatsink overheating occurs between 115-120°C. The exact threshold is stored in the drive firmware.

9- Trnsistr OvrTemp: Another resettable fault that occurs when the output transistors surpass their maximum temperature limit.

10- DynBrake OvrTemp: An alarm indicating that the dynamic brake resistor has exceeded its maximum operating temperature.

12- HW OverCurrent: This resettable fault is activated when the drive's output current goes beyond the hardware's current limitation.

13- Ground Fault: Triggered when a current path to the ground surpasses 25% of the drive's rating.

14- Ground Warning: This configurable fault indicates when the ground current exceeds the level set in P467 [Ground Warn Lvl].

15- Load Loss: When the output torque current remains below a certain value for longer than the programmed time, this fault, configurable with P441 [Load Loss Action], is activated.

17- Input Phase Loss: Configured using P462 [InPhase LossActn], this fault is triggered when the DC bus ripple surpasses a preset value.

18- Motor PTC Trip: Configurable with P250 [PTC Config], this fault indicates that the Motor PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) has detected an over-temperature condition.

19- Task Overrun: An alarm that signals when the system's resource usage is at or above 90% of its capacity. Users are advised to refer to a resource allocation table for more details.

20- TorqPrv Spd Band: This resettable fault indicates when the difference between set and actual speeds surpasses a predetermined level for an extended time.

21- Output PhaseLoss: Configured using P444 [OutPhaseLossActn], this fault suggests that the current in one or more phases has been lost or remains below a set level.

24- Decel Inhibit: Using P409 [Dec Inhibit Actn], this configurable fault indicates that the drive is not following a commanded deceleration because it's trying to regulate the bus voltage.


25- OverSpeed Limit: A resettable fault triggered when the motor's operating speed exceeds the limits set by the maximum speed setting P524 [Overspeed Limit]. The boundaries for forward and reverse motor rotation are determined by P520 [Max Fwd Speed], P521 [Max Rev Speed], and P524 [Overspeed Limit]. The motor's operating speed is based on P131 [Active Vel Fdbk] for flux vector control modes and P1 [Output Frequency] for other modes.

26- Brake Slipped: This alarm comes in two forms. Alarm 1 is activated when the encoder movement surpasses the level in P1110 [Brk Slip Count] after setting the brake and while the drive is still active. Alarm 2 is triggered under the same conditions but after the brake slip maneuver has concluded and the drive is stopped.
