Well this is a fun one
I have a power flex 40 that keeps dying. We change it out and the machine will run for months and then die. It is very frustrating because there is never a fault it just dies. Any ideas on how I can catch it. The machine has a mirco logic I believe 1200 series. The drive runs a 1/4hp motor that runs a 40:1 gear box. There is a very low amp draw something like 1.2amps. We have put an amp probe on and used the max function and the highest draw is 1.5A. The FLA setting on the VFD is 2A so it doesn't die because of high amps. Its a mystery. Any help or ideas would be great.
