Excessive position feedback difference

What does F2036 mean?

The difference between the expected and actual position feedback values is excessively large. This indicates a significant discrepancy in position tracking, potentially due to a feedback error or mechanical issue.

• Loss or disturbance of position encoder signals.
• Mechanical play, backlash, or slippage in the drive train.
• Incorrect encoder scaling or gear ratio parameters.
• Faulty encoder or drive feedback monitoring circuit.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Inspect all encoder cabling and connections for security, damage, and proper shielding. Verify encoder power supply.

2. 2

   Check the mechanical system for excessive backlash, loose couplings, or slippage in the belt/gear train.

3. 3

   Verify the encoder scaling, gear ratio, and other position feedback parameters in the drive match the mechanical system.

4. 4

   If using multiple encoders, compare their feedback values for consistency. Perform an encoder diagnostic test.
