Hello everyone,
I'm facing an issue with a Schneider ATV630D45N4 variable frequency drive – it does not reach the reference frequency. Regardless of the frequency reference (e.g. 40 Hz), the drive never goes above 8 Hz.
We’ve tried controlling the drive via SoMove – Control Panel, but the result is the same: the output frequency remains limited to 8 Hz.
There are no active faults or warnings on the display. The motor starts and runs, but only up to 8 Hz, no matter what frequency we request.
My questions:
– Which parameters should I check that could be limiting the frequency?
– Could this be related to current, torque, or motor protection settings?
– Are there any known issues or default limits with the ATV630 series that could cause this behavior?
I added small video to message for ilustrating problem by the Control Panel functionality.
Any suggestions or experience with similar problems would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
The motor runs into the current limitation https://www.se.com/us/en/faqs/FA308900/
That is the reason why SOMOVE schow as state CLI.
Check your sizing or/and your motor parameter.

If I may add, please check the motor coupling as well as Bastian says ensure all motor parameters are really entered in the drive. Then make an autotuning and try again...
