Troubleshooting E05 Faults
The E05 or IPM fault is an error line that comes from the IPM or
output power module that indicates to the processor that there is a
problem with the module. It could be a thermostat signaling that the
device is overheating, or too much current draw leading to excessive
average current through the device. It could also be that the power
supply used to control the operation of the device is bad. Also, if
there is a short circuit condition in the device or in the circuit to
the motor it could cause the fault.
The short circuit protection is the most common, and it usually
happens immediately after the drive is enabled. Easiest way to
troubleshoot this is to:
1.
Disconnect the motor power cable from the drive
2.
Enable the drive
If the drive faults out any other error code than E05 then usually the
problem is either in the motor power cable or the motor itself.
However, if the drive still faults out E05 when enabled with the motor
power cable disconnected from the drive, then the drive has an
internal failure and should be replaced.
The Kinetix 6000 can present some unusual problems when diagnosing
which axis is causing the E05. The first course of action is to:
1.
Disconnect the motor power cable plug from the top of the drive
that is showing the fault.
2.
Clear the fault
3.
Try enabling the whole power rail
Remember, when the motor power cable is removed, and the drive gets
enabled, since the motor has no power to it, there more than likely
will some small amount of position error. The position error will
integrate to a point where the drive may fault out E19, or some other
position error driven fault. Don't let that sidetrack you! If
everything is fine with the rest of the axis, then I would:
1.
Power down the rail
2.
Reconnect the motor power cable
3.
Try again just to make sure that the fault still occurs on the
same axis
Sometimes the fault on the Integrated Axis Module (IAM) can be caused
by a problem on a different axis on the same power rail. If that is
the case you will need to troubleshoot using a process of elimination.
1.
Disconnect all the motor power connectors
2.
One axis at a time, connect and enable each of the axes to find
out the one that is having the problem
