Understanding F629 and F630 Error Codes in Indramat Drives

The F629 and F630 error codes are critical alerts within the ECODRIVE DKC series of drives by Indramat, categorically identified as "travel range errors." They play a crucial role in the safety and functionality of the drives by defining the boundaries of the drive axis's operational limits. The F629 is linked with exceeding the positive travel range, whereas the F630 pertains to breaching the negative travel range.

Understanding F629 and F630 Error Codes

These error codes manifest when the drive axis moves beyond its allowed positive or negative travel limit, respectively. Such exceedances are detected when the drive receives command values that position the axis beyond the preset boundaries as defined in Bit 2 of the P-0-0090 parameter.

When either F629 or F630 errors are triggered, the drive axis is immediately halted, and a "Set velocity command value to zero" error response is initiated to ensure safety.

- F629: Triggered when the axis extends beyond the positive travel limit set in parameter S-0-0049.

- F630: Occurs when the axis moves past the negative travel limit set in parameter S-0-0050.

FAQs

What occurs when an F629 or F630 error is detected?

Upon detection of an F629 or F630 error, indicating that the axis has moved outside the allowed travel range, the drive ceases operation, and all connected machinery is halted. This preventive measure helps avoid potential injuries or damage. To reinstate normal operations, it’s necessary to adjust the command values to appropriate levels; otherwise, the drive will halt operations again.

How are the F629 and F630 error codes addressed?

Addressing these errors involves a uniform approach regardless of whether it is F629 or F630. Start by examining the specific parameter related to the error—S-0-0049 for F629 and S-0-0050 for F630. Next, confirm the software limits within the drive’s control system and reactivate the affected axis. After these steps, clear the error messages and restart the power supply if it was turned off. Finally, verify that the axis is operating within the permissible travel range to ensure the issue is fully resolved.
