Kollmorgen S300 & S700 Drive Error and Warning Codes

Kollmorgen S300 and S700 drives feature built-in diagnostic displays that provide users with detailed error ("F##") and warning ("n##") codes. These codes are crucial for identifying operational issues, system faults, and preventative maintenance indicators. This guide organizes the most common error codes into clear, concise tables and summaries for expedient troubleshooting.

Wake Industrial is your partner in progress and is available to help you with any of your Kollmorgen S300 and S700 drive errors.

Understanding the Codes

• Error Codes (FXX): Represent critical faults. Drive operation is disabled until the issue is resolved and the fault is cleared.
• Warning Codes (nXX): Indicate non-critical conditions. The drive continues operation but may require attention to prevent future faults.

Notes: After addressing an error condition, you will typically need to clear the fault in the drive (via the DriveGUI software or a fault reset input/command) to resume operation. Some errors marked with “*” can be cleared with the ASCII command CLRFAULT without power cycling, but the underlying issue must still be fixed to prevent reoccurrence.

Tip: Warnings can often be read or logged via the drive software. If multiple warnings occur at once, remember that n16 can aggregate them – so always check the system logs or use a monitoring tool to see all active warnings, not just the code on the display.

When to Repair or Replace a Drive

In many cases, errors and warnings can be resolved by correcting configuration, improving environmental conditions, or replacing peripheral components. However, certain faults strongly indicate a hardware problem inside the drive. For example, F07 (Internal Voltages) or F14 (Output Stage) often point to component failures that are likely to require professional repair or drive replacement. If you encounter persistent errors that cannot be cleared by the recommended actions, or warnings that suggest internal issues (like n23 Sin/Cos feedback issues that remain after encoder replacement), it may be time to service the drive.
