6-8 Maintaining and Troubleshooting Your Ultra1500
E100 
Drive Set Up 
The drive operating mode and motor 
selection are incompatible. 
Change the operating mode and/or the motor 
selection, and reset the drive. 
E101 
Motor Power Cable Open 
Motor cable open  Verify power connection between motor and drive. 
E102 
Motor Instantaneous 
Current Overload 
Motion profile requires a peak current for 
an excessive time interval 
• Verify motor wiring. 
• Adjust accel/decel time.
• Confirm motor selection. 
Defective current feedback sensing  Verify phase currents. 
E103 
Motor Mismatch 
Dynamic braking current of the selected 
motor exceeds twice the drive peak 
current rating 
Install a different motor. 
E104 
Continuous Power 
Overload 
Motion application requires average drive 
power in excess of rated capability 
• Reduce acceleration rates. 
• Reduce duty cycle (ON/OFF) of commanded 
motion. 
• Increase time permitted for motion. 
• Use larger drive and motor. 
• Check tuning. 
E105 
Encoder Type Mismatch 
Motor encoder signals do not match drive 
configuration 
Verify motor selection. 
Defective encoder  Replace motor. 
E106 
Encoder Communication 
Error 
Wiring between drive and encoder is 
faulty or disconnected, or EMI (noise) 
disrupts encoder signals. 
• Verify encoder wiring. 
• Contact A-B. 
E107 
Special Communication 
Error 
Communications error between host and 
drive (noise) 
• Verify serial cable. 
• Check for noise on serial interface. 
E108 
Position Command 
Frequency Error 
Input frequency limit exceeded 
• Verify hardware type selected in the drive 
matches the physical hardware. 
• Change from open collector to line drive. 
• Reduce the speed command. 
• Apply gearing.
