4 Module overtemperature
The temperature of the heat-sink power module is higher than the maximum allowed (about 90

Possible cause:
The working cycle is characterized with very closed accelerations/decelerations and the external braking
resistance has reached a too high temperature.
With MBLD drives with regenerative power supply, if the regenerative function doesn’t work in the right way we
can find this alarm.
Possible remedy:
Use a less heavy working cycle by increasing the time between the accelerations or by increasing the breaking
resistance power.
Check the correct thermal heat exchange inside the enclosure the electrical cabinet.

11 Overspeed
The motor exceeded the maximum speed permitted for the motor
or the motor didn’t stay at 0 speed during the initialization phase of the drive.
Allowable extensions for this alarm are:
Possible cause:
o It has been requested to enable the drive while the motor is moving at speed above its flux-weakening
starting speed (V417, V457, V496, V497).
Possible remedy:
o Check the values present in the parameters managing the maximum speed
(parameters V96, V99, V1096 and V1099)
o Check the values present in the parameter managing the speed loop control.
o Check enabling condition: wait for motor speed has reached a value below its flux-weakening starting
speed (V417, V457, V496, V497) before enabling it.
• ext. 1: the motor didn’t stay at 0 speed during the initialization phase of the drive: a drive re-initialization was
tried while the motor was moving; wait for motor stop before retry a drive reset/re-initialization.
• ext. 2: speed > flux-weakening starting speed : the drive was requested to enable while the motor was running at
speed higher than the flux-weakening starting speed (V417, V457, V496, V497). Other possibilities: for

16 Incompatible parameters
Alarm for parameter incompatibility.
Possible cause:
Possible remedy:
Load the correct parameters configuration for the motor / drive association and verify the parameter value.
• ext. 4: HW / SW incompatibility
• ext. 6: Inom dereating not correct. The alarm issues if the Inom value defined into V108 /V115 doesn’t take into
account the dereating owing to the PWM frequency value (5khz -> 10khz) (only for NUMDRIVE C).
• ext. 8: Sensor - FPGAsensors not compatible: it requires OFF->ON of the drive. The alarm issues when
Resolver is declared or undeclared modifying V348. This modifie requires always the OFF-> ON of the drive.
• ext. 20: this alarm can issue (only for NUMDRIVE C) for two reasons:
1) Wrong configuration coherence of V020 (axis#0) with V252. If bit 0 of V020 (axis#0) is set (Sensor connectors
X3, X4 plugged-in) V252 has to be equal to “G”: that means NUMDRIVE C bi-axis HP. If bit 0 of V020 (axis#0) is
reset (Sensor connectors X3, X4 absent) V252 has to be equal to “H”: that means NUMDRIVE C bi-axis BP.
2) Wrong configuration coherence of V020 (axis#0) with V350,V351 or V352. If bit 0 of V020 (axis#0) is reset
(Sensor connectors X3, X4 absent) V350,V351,V352 have to be equal to 0: that means position, speed or current
sensor loop configurated on the connectors X1, X2.
• ext. 35: SW functions not available. The alarm issues if e.g.: AP01 is enabled in V160 but V35.0=0, AP02 is
enabled in V160 but V35.1=0, Tandem function AP03 is enabled in V170 but V35.2=0, AP06 is enabled in V160
but V35.3=0, AP08 is enabled in V160 but V35.5=0, AP10 is enabled in V160 but V35.7=0, AP12 is enabled in
V160 but V35.9=0, AP13 is enabled in V160 but V35.10=0.
With V35.11=0 it is possible to manage two sensors only if all loops are linked to only one sensor,
V350=V351=V352=0 or V350=V351=V352=1.
If the motor is a linear motor and V35.12=0 the alarm issues.
If the drive is NUMDRIVE C bi-axis BP the only one SW function available is AP02.
• ext. 160: Incompatibility between special application and others drive parameters.
E.g.
AP01: bit V348/V349.6 of the sensor that doesn’t close the position loop has to set =1 otherwise the alarm
issues.
AP02:this alarm can issue for many reasons:
1) The motor is a linear motor
2) The sensor selected for AP02 is not present
3) The sensor selected for AP02 is not an absolute sensor V348/V349 Bit3=Bit4=Bit5=0.
4) The sensor selected for AP02 is coded reference
AP06: in parameters V348/V349 only one sensor is declared (AP06 needs two sensors).
AP08: this alarm can issue for many reasons:
1) It is not possible activates AP08 if all loops are closed by the same sensor
2) V160.7=1. It is not possible to activate contemporaneously AP08 and AP10
AP12: this alarm can issue for many reasons:
1) It is not possible activates AP12 if all loops are closed by the same sensor
MDLU3_Alarms.doc Page 18 of 58
m December 16th, 2008
2) The axis is Slave in Tandem function V169.1=1 e V170.1=1. If the axis is Slave V169.1=1 but
Tandem function is not active V170.1=0 the alarm doesn’t issue
AP13: this alarm can issue for many reasons:
1) AP12 is not active, V160.9=0
2) Notch filter is not active, V500.5=0
• ext. 170: The torque duplication is no longer available but older SetTools can try to configure it e.g.: if bit
V170.1=0 and bit V170.2=1 (Torque duplication function declaration not implemented in MDLU3) the alarm
A16.170 issues.
• ext. 220: V220.7 = 1 with V271 = 100. V220.7 = 1 only with V271 = 50
• ext. 255: Motor type not supported (only NUMDRIVE C bi-axis BP version)
• ext. 257: Motor poles pairs number not correct (only NUMDRIVE C bi-axis BP version)
• ext. 271: FPGA re-synchronisation after sampling time current loop change
• ext. 305: AP02 requires the setting of V305 “Measure module for rot. axis/spindle abs[0]”. V305 has not to be
equal to 0
• ext. 317: V317 power supply > 5.5V but S1 sensor not available for high power supply (otherwise Stegmann
sensor not connected).The jumper between pin 5 and 6 of S1 that enables the sensor power supply > 5.5V is not
present
• ext. 318: V318 power supply > 5.5V but S2 sensor not available for high power supply (otherwise Stegmann

Alarm related to the self-calibration phases of the EPS and EPSM functions.

This alarm condition is monitored from the start of the EPS procedure till 1 second after the POM end, this
motoring is performed for security motivation. E.g. acceleration versus not coerent with current versus owing to
phase offset error.
If this alarm is issued it is necessary a new tuning of the EPS procedure.
To enable this new tuning it is necessary to disable the monitoring, setting V273.3 = 1.
• ext. 4: It was requested a POM after an EPS procedure V273.0 = 0 with the parameter V269 = 0

49 I2T alarm
This alarm is issued whenever the I2T condition has been reached and the drive is configured to
handle such situation as an alarm instead of a warning (V30)
Possible cause:
The working cycle of the machine-tool involves a phase where the drive current delivered to the motor is too high
for a too long time.
Some damage/defect has caused friction to increase, so requiring more current to be delivered to the motor in
order to follow CNC acceleration commands.
Some parameters on CNC require very high accelerations that can’t be respected by the drive and motor which
the machine-tool is equipped with.
Possible remedy:
NOTE:
It is always possible to eliminate such alarm by configuring parameter V30 of the drive in order to handle the I2T
condition as a simple warning.
But be careful! In case of I2T handled as a simple warning, the CNC is NEVER informed that such condition has
occurred and may continue to requires so high working speed as to generate “following error” due to the fact that the
drive has limited its torque current in order not to burn the motor and/or itself.

through I2C bus, at power on ), it sends an own identifier via serial bus. If DSP does not receive any response
from SAM within time-out interval, it generates this alarm .
