A Siemens Masterdrive TB alarm 1 indicates an issue with a terminal block or connector on the drive designated as TB board. Here's a breakdown of the problem and troubleshooting steps:

TB alarm 1:

• Terminal Blocks (TBs): These are essentially connection points on the Siemens Masterdrive that allow you to connect various external control signals or devices using wires. Each TB has a specific designation and corresponding function.
• TB Alarm 1: This signifies the drive is detecting an unexpected signal or condition at the connector. This disrupts the control logic programmed for that specific terminal block.

Possible Causes:

• Miswiring: There could be an error in how external wires are connected. An incorrect wire might be connected to the wrong terminal, creating an unexpected signal.
• Faulty External Device: The device connected to TB might be malfunctioning and sending an unintended active signal to the drive.
• Less Likely (Drive Misconfiguration): In rare cases, an error in the drive's programming related to functionality might be responsible for the alarm.
