Inovance drive error code 950 signifies a forward overtravel warning. This doesn't necessarily indicate a critical fault, but it does mean the motor connected to the Inovance drive has exceeded its designated forward travel limit.
Here's a breakdown of the error and what it means:
Error Description:
- Code: 950
- Meaning: Forward overtravel warning
Understanding the Warning:
- The Inovance drive can be programmed with travel limits for the motor. These limits define the allowed range of motion for the motor in both forward and reverse directions.
- Error code 950 indicates the motor has traveled beyond the programmed forward travel limit.
Potential Causes:
- Incorrect Limit Settings: The forward travel limit on the Inovance drive might be incorrectly programmed, allowing the motor to travel further than intended.
- External Control Issue: If the motor position is controlled by an external source (PLC, HMI), there might be a problem with the control signal causing the motor to overtravel.
- Sensor Malfunction: In rare cases, a faulty sensor used for position feedback could provide incorrect data, leading to the overtravel warning.
What to Do:
- Review Drive Settings: Consult the Inovance drive manual for your specific model and verify the programmed forward travel limit. Ensure it aligns with the intended range of motion for the motor.
- Check External Controls (if applicable): If an external source controls the motor position, investigate the control logic and ensure it's not commanding the motor to travel beyond its limits.
