Faults and fixes 6FX1118-1AA01
Problems with 6FX1118-1AA01: overcurrent, overvoltage or overtemperature
On frequency converters and servo amplifiers three fault groups are the most common. Overcurrent: short circuit or earth fault in motor or cable, too short a ramp or wrong motor data; if the fault returns with no motor, the output stage is defective. DC-link overvoltage: decelerating too fast without a braking resistor. Overtemperature: a clogged heat sink or a fan that no longer turns. Always note the fault code and the moment.
What do I check when replacing a 6FX1118-1AA01?
Keep the parameter set of the old unit; it makes setting up the replacement quick. Check rating, supply voltage, frame and option boards, and whether the firmware version matches the parameter set. After long storage the DC-link capacitors should be reformed.
Fault not fixed: replace, exchange or repair the 6FX1118-1AA01?
Replacing from stock is the fastest route when a machine is down. Van Haelen supplies the 6FX1118-1AA01 new in factory packaging, with a 24-month warranty. The current lead time is shown with the condition on this page. Prefer an exchange: you get a refurbished unit straight away and return the faulty one within 14 days. Repairing your own unit is also possible: diagnosis, then a fixed price.
What information should I send for a quick diagnosis?
A photo of the rating plate (order number, product version, firmware), the exact fault code or LED state, when the fault occurs (at power-up, on enable, under load) and what you have already tried. For PLCs an export of the diagnostic buffer, for drives the parameter set. With that we can usually say the same day whether replacing, exchanging or repairing is best.
