Investigation sequence
1
Record local/remote state
Capture whether the drive responds to keypad, terminal or communication command.
2
Photograph terminal wiring
Save digital input, analog input, common and relay wiring evidence before changes.
3
Check control supply
Verify available low-voltage control supply and input common route.
4
Trace run permissive
Check enable, fault reset, external fault and interlock signals.
5
Validate reference
Check analog or communication reference scaling and source selection.
Stop conditions
- Machine cannot be secured
- Terminal wiring is undocumented
- Command source is unknown

Evidence intake
Turn this record into a qualified service request
A repair decision is much more reliable when the request includes the exact identity of the drive, the first fault evidence and the machine condition when the symptom appeared.
- Complete drive type code / MLFB or nameplate model
- Fault code, fault value and first event before reset
- When the event appears: power-up, enable, ramp, run, decel or stop
- Motor/cable connected or isolated during the symptom
- Visible board, option-card, module and connector identifiers
- Previous repair history, replacement parts and repeat-failure pattern
