Actual position values validation error

What does F3117 mean?

An error occurred during the validation of actual position values, likely from a safety-related encoder. This means the system detected inconsistencies or implausible values in the position feedback, crucial for safety functions. This can indicate a problem with the encoder, its signal, or the validation logic, leading to a safety stop.

• Encoder signal disturbance or corruption
• Discrepancy between redundant encoder channels (if used)
• Encoder hardware defect causing erratic readings
• Software error in position value validation algorithm
• External mechanical disturbance affecting encoder accuracy

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Inspect the encoder feedback cable for physical damage, proper shielding, and secure connections at both the encoder and the IndraDrive MPx02.

2. 2

   Measure and verify the encoder's supply voltage at the drive's feedback connector (or encoder terminal) against the specified nominal voltage range.

3. 3

   Verify the IndraDrive MPx02 parameters related to the safety encoder type, resolution, and validation settings against the machine documentation and the physically installed encoder.

4. 4

   Access the IndraDrive MPx02's diagnostic screens or logs for additional encoder-specific fault codes or warnings that may provide further insight into the validation error.
