Cause : OVERSPEED comes when speed feedback has exceeded the THRESHOLD for a period greater than DELAY. This fault is crucial for protecting the motor and drive system from potential damage due to excessive speeds.

OVERSPEED fault in parker AC690 drive indicate that the drive detects that the motor or system is running at a speed that exceeds the configured or allowable maximum speed.

Possible Causes and Solutions:

1. Incorrect Speed Settings:

   • Cause: The configured maximum speed in the drive settings may be set too low, or the actual speed may be exceeding this limit due to incorrect configuration.
   • Solution:
     • Verify speed settings: Check and adjust the maximum speed settings in the drive configuration to ensure they are set correctly according to the motor’s specifications and application requirements.

2. Faulty Speed Feedback Sensor:

   • Cause: Issues with the speed feedback sensor (such as an encoder or tachometer) can lead to inaccurate speed readings and trigger an overspeed fault.
   • Solution:
     • Inspect and test the sensor: Check the speed feedback sensor for proper operation and ensure it is correctly installed. Replace or repair the sensor if it is faulty.

3. Mechanical Issues:

   • Cause: Mechanical problems, such as a malfunctioning gearbox or coupling, can cause the motor to exceed its intended speed.
   • Solution:
     • Inspect mechanical components: Check all mechanical components connected to the motor for proper operation and alignment. Address any issues with the gearbox, coupling, or other related parts.

4. Drive Faults or Misconfigurations:

   • Cause: Internal faults or incorrect settings within the drive can cause it to misinterpret the speed and trigger an overspeed fault.
   • Solution:
     • Reset and reconfigure the drive: Reset the drive to clear any faults and reconfigure the settings as needed. Consult the drive manual for correct configuration procedures.

5. Inverter or Power Supply Issues:

   • Cause: Problems with the inverter or power supply can lead to irregular motor speeds.
   • Solution:
     • Check the inverter and power supply: Inspect the inverter and power supply for proper operation and stability. Repair or replace any faulty components.
