bbExternal Base Block command
Base Block command at multi-function terminal is active, shutting off GPD 503 output (motor coasting). Temporary condition, cleared when input command is removed.
bUSTransmission error
Control data cannot be received normally for longer than 2 seconds.
CALLCommunication ready
Drive is waiting for the PLC to establish communication.
CPF00Transmission error or control function hardware fault (including internal RAM, external RAM or PROM)
Transmission between GPD 503 and remote operator is not established within 5 seconds after the power supply is turned on. (Displayed on the remote operator.)
CPF01Transmission error
Transmission error occurs 2 seconds or more after transmission has first been established.
CPF02Base block circuit failure
GPD 503 failure.
CPF03NV-RAM (S-RAM) fault
GPD 503 failure.
CPF04NV-RAM (BCC, Access Code)
fault
GPD 503 failure. This fault may be caused after changing EPROM chips. Perform a Sn-03 Reset operation to attempt to clear this fault.
CPF05A/D converter failure in CPU
GPD 503 failure.
CPF06Optional connection failure
Improper installation or wiring of option card.
CPF20A/D converter failure
Defective option card.
CPF21Transmission interface card (option) self-analysis function fault
Defective option card. Check option card connector for proper installation.
CPF22Model code fault
Defective option card. Check option card connector for proper installation.
CPF23Mutual-analysis function fault
Defective option card. Check option card connector for proper installation.
EF (blinking)Simultaneous forward and reverse operation commands
Fwd Run and Rev Run commands are both closed for more than 500 ms. Removing one command will allow drive operation.
EF0External fault
GPD 503 is in Stop mode.
EF3Ext. fault signal at term. 3
A fault condition has occurred in the external circuit(s) monitored by the contact providing input to the indicated terminal. If display is steady, GPD 503 is in Stop mode; if display is blinking, the terminal is programmed to allow continued operation after receiving fault input.
EF5Ext. fault signal at term. 5
A fault condition has occurred in the external circuit(s) monitored by the contact providing input to the indicated terminal. If display is steady, GPD 503 is in Stop mode; if display is blinking, the terminal is programmed to allow continued operation after receiving fault input.
EF6Ext. fault signal at term. 6
A fault condition has occurred in the external circuit(s) monitored by the contact providing input to the indicated terminal. If display is steady, GPD 503 is in Stop mode; if display is blinking, the terminal is programmed to allow continued operation after receiving fault input.
EF7Ext. fault signal at term. 7
A fault condition has occurred in the external circuit(s) monitored by the contact providing input to the indicated terminal. If display is steady, GPD 503 is in Stop mode; if display is blinking, the terminal is programmed to allow continued operation after receiving fault input.
EF8Ext. fault signal at term. 8
A fault condition has occurred in the external circuit(s) monitored by the contact providing input to the indicated terminal. If display is steady, GPD 503 is in Stop mode; if display is blinking, the terminal is programmed to allow continued operation after receiving fault input.
ErrConstant write-in fault
Temporary display, in Program mode, indicating that constant setting was not written into EPROM memory.
FAnCooling fan failure
GPD 503 is in Stop mode.
FUFuse blown
DC Bus fuse has cleared. Check for short circuit in output, and check main circuit transistors.
GFGround fault protection
Ground current > approx. 50% of the GPD 503 rated current.
oCOvercurrent
GPD 503 output current exceeds 200% of GPD 503 rated current, or ground fault has occurred, with ground current exceeding 50% of GPD 503 rated current.
oHHeat sink overheated
Fin temperature exceeds 90° C (194° F)
oH2 (blinking)External overheat
External temperature monitoring circuit(s) detected an overtemperature condition and produced an input signal.
oL1Overload
Thermal motor overload protection has tripped.
oL2Overload
GPD 503 overload protection has tripped.
oL3 (blinking)Overload
GPD 503 output torque exceeds the set Overtorque Detection level, but GPD 503 is programmed for continued operation at overtorque detection.
oL3Overload
GPD 503 output torque exceeds the set Overtorque Detection level, and GPD 503 is programmed for coast to stop at overtorque detection.
oPE01kVA constant setting fault
Sn-01 setting is incorrect.
oPE02Constant setting range fault
An-XX, bn-XX, Cn-XX, or Sn-XX setting range fault.
oPE03Constant set value fault
Sn-15 to -18 (multi-function input) set value fault.
oPE04Constant set value fault
PG constant, number of poles, or PG division rate set incorrectly.
oPE10Constant set value fault
Cn-02 to -08 (V/f data) set incorrectly.
oPE11Constant set value fault
One of the following conditions was detected: • Cn-23 > 5 KHz and Cn-24 5 KHz or • Cn-25 > 6 and Cn-24 > Cn-23
ou (blinking)Overvoltage
Internal monitor of DC Bus voltage indicates that input AC power is excessively high, while GPD 503 is in stopped condition.
ouOvervoltage (OV)
Detection level: Approx. 400V for 230V; Approx. 800V for 460V; Approx. 1000V for 575V.
rrRegenerative transistor Failure
Dynamic Braking resistor has failed.
rHBraking resistor unit overheated
Dynamic Braking resistor has overheated.
Uu (blinking)Low voltage (Power UV)
Internal monitor of DC Bus voltage indicates that input AC power is below Undervoltage detection level, while the GPD 503 is in stopped condition.
Uu1 Low voltage (Power UV)Occurs two seconds after detection of low voltage.
Uu2 Low voltage UVControl circuit voltage levels drop below acceptable levels during operation.
Uu3 Low voltage (MC-ANS fault)Main circuit magnetic contactor does not operate correctly.
