This is from the manual: It was not possible to find a suitable value of magnetizing current to achieve the required operating condition for the motor. Check the motor data is correct, especially nameplate rpm and motor volts.
Also check that the motor is correctly rated for the drive.

It seems like this alarm can only be cleared by verifying and adjusting your calibration. This alarm is triggered by motor settings in particular or possibly an incorrectly sized drive for the motor that you're trying to control.
