Drive not ready during axis start

Beckhoff · TwinCAT 2 NC

What does 4225 mean?

During the startup sequence of an axis, the associated drive is found to be in a non-ready state. Possible causes include the drive being in a hardware error state, still in its power-up or boot-up phase (which can take several seconds after a reset), or lacking the necessary controller enable signal. This prevents the axis from becoming operational.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Check the drive's status indicators for any active hardware errors and clear them if present.

  2. 2

    Allow sufficient time for the drive to complete its internal start-up sequence, especially after a power cycle or hardware error reset.

  3. 3

    Verify that the drive's controller enable (ENABLE) signal is present and stable.

  4. 4

    Inspect drive power supply and communication connections for stability.
