Resetting faults on a Siemens SINAMICS V20 Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) typically involves accessing the fault menu or diagnostic menu on the VFD's user interface. Here's a general procedure for resetting faults on a SINAMICS V20:
-
Access the fault menu: On the VFD's display or control panel, navigate to the fault menu or diagnostic menu. This menu typically provides information about active faults and allows you to reset them.
-
View active faults: In the fault menu, review the list of active faults to identify the specific fault that you want to reset. The fault codes displayed will indicate the nature of the fault condition.
-
Reset the fault: Once you've identified the fault you want to reset, select the option to reset the fault. This option may be labeled "Clear fault," "Reset fault," or something similar. Confirm the action if prompted.
-
Verify fault clearance: After resetting the fault, verify that the fault has been cleared. Check the fault menu again to ensure that the fault is no longer listed. If the fault persists, further investigation may be required to address the underlying issue.
-
Resume operation: Once the fault has been successfully cleared, you can resume normal operation of the VFD and connected equipment. Monitor the system for any recurring faults or abnormal behavior.
