F218Fault · ThermalUsually repairable

Indramat DKC F218: Amplifier Overtemp. Shutdown

What F218 means

The drive's heat sink is too hot, so it shut down to protect itself.

Symptoms

Fault after running a while or in a hot cabinet.

Is it repairable?

Yes: fan replacement and cleaning are routine.

Common causes

  • Cabinet ambient too high
  • Dirty heat sink
  • Blocked airflow
  • Failed fan

Safe checks

  1. 1Check the fan
  2. 2Clean the heat sink
  3. 3Measure the cabinet temperature

Drives hold dangerous voltage after power-off. Checks should only be done by qualified personnel, with power isolated and the DC link discharged.

Reviewed by AutomIQ repair technicians. Code and name from the ECODRIVE DKC and ECODRIVE03 diagnostic descriptions.
