GroundShortFault

Applies to: Servo Drive axes.
GroundShortFault is a Boolean attribute. It is set when the drive detects an imbalance in the DC bus supply current, indicating that current is flowing through an improper ground connection. A GroundShortFault shuts down all axes associated with the drive.
GroundShortFault is a recoverable fault.
To clear a GroundShortFault:
  1. Identify and correct the improper ground.
  2. Be sure your program or fault handling routine contains a Shutdown Reset (MASR or MGSR) instruction to return to the axis ready operating state.
The occurrence of a GroundShortFault on a Servo Drive axis sets bit #13 of the DriveFault attribute, the PhysicalAxisFault attribute and bit #0 of the AxisFault attribute.
