DriveOvercurrentFault

Applies to: Servo Drive axes.
DriveOvercurrentFault is a Boolean attribute. It is set when drive output current exceeds the predefined operating limits for the drive.
DriveOvercurrentFault is a recoverable fault. This fault shuts down the axis.
To clear a DriveOvercurrentFault:
  1. Check the motor’s power wiring.
  2. Confirm the compatibility of the motor (in the Motor/Feedback tab of the Axis properties dialog box), the amplifier (in the Drive tab of the Axis properties dialog box) and the bus regulator (in the Power tab of the Module properties dialog box).
  3. Be sure your program or fault handling routine contains a Fault Reset (MAFR) instruction, to clear all motion faults for an axis.
The occurrence of a DriveOvercurrentFault sets bit #23 of the DriveFault attribute, the PhysicalAxisFault attribute and bit #0 of the AxisFault attribute.
