LIN (nn Link Fault) on a MV1000
Topic Description

LIN (nn LINK FAULT) fault will appear when there is a communication error between the cell control board and the main control board. It will occur when a response has NOT been returned within 1 ms or longer in the communication cycle between the boards.

Resolution

The following steps will help when troubleshooting a LIN (nn LINK FAULT) fault: 

  1. If the control board was recently replaced on a MV1000 drive, the kVA must be set to match the proper model number.
  2. If the LIN (nn Link Fault) continues, turn off power to the drive.
  3. Match the fault with the cable connection

  4. Make sure the optical fiber cable between the control board and the cell control board is seated securely and correctly. Re-seat as necessary.
  5. Apply power to the MV1000.
  6. If the fault continues the fiber cable, control board or the cell control board may need to be replaced.
