SIMODRIVE 611U 613: Shutdown Limit, Motor Overtemperature Exceeded
What 613 means
The motor's temperature sensor reading went above the shutdown limit.
Symptoms
Trips after the axis has worked hard; trips at once if the sensor circuit is faulty.
Is it repairable?
Yes: sensor replacement, bearing work and rewinding are routine motor repairs.
Common causes
- Motor overloaded or cycled too hard
- Failed motor fan
- Faulty temperature sensor
- Break in the sensor wires in the encoder cable
Safe checks
- 1Feel whether the motor is really hot
- 2Check the motor fan
- 3Check the sensor wiring in the encoder cable
Drives hold dangerous voltage after power-off. Checks should only be done by qualified personnel, with power isolated and the DC link discharged.
