MotorOverloadFault
Applies to: Servo Drive axes.
MotorOverloadFault is a Boolean attribute. It is set when continuous motor capacity has been exceeded. When the load limit of a motor/drive is initially exceeded, the DriveOverloadWarning attribute is set. If the overload condition persists, the MotorOverloadFault attribute is set.
MotorOverloadFault is a recoverable condition.
To clear a MotorOverloadFault:
- Change the duty cycle or the load profile.
- Be sure your program or fault handling routine contains either a:
- Fault Reset (MAFR) instruction, to clear all motion faults for an axis, or
- Shutdown Reset (MASR or MGSR) instruction to return to the axis ready operating state.
The occurrence of a MotorOverloadFault on a Servo Drive axis sets bit #16 of the DriveFault attribute, the PhysicalAxisFault attribute, and bit #0 of the AxisFault attribute.
