F7012

Safety rel. position limit val., exc. in neg. dir.

Bosch Rexroth · IndraDrive MPx02

What does F7012 mean?

This safety technology error indicates that the motor's actual position has exceeded the safety-related negative position limit value configured in the IndraDrive MPx02. This is a critical safety violation, implying the machine has moved beyond its safe lower boundary, requiring an immediate safety stop.

Common Causes

  • Incorrectly set safety-related negative position limit (e.g., S-0-0194) in the IndraDrive MPx02.
  • Encoder counting error or offset, leading to incorrect actual position reporting.
  • Loss of control or unexpected motion command pushing the axis beyond the limit.
  • Mechanical overrun due to inertia or external forces.
  • Faulty safety limit switch or sensor that failed to activate or register.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Review and adjust the safety-related negative position limit parameter (e.g., S-0-0194 'Safety related position limit negative') in the IndraDrive MPx02, ensuring it is correct for the machine's physical limits.

  2. 2

    Verify the motor encoder for accurate position feedback. Check for mechanical slippage, loose couplings, or encoder damage.

  3. 3

    Inspect any external negative travel limit switches or sensors and their wiring for proper function and connection.

  4. 4

    Check the commanded motion profile and ensure that no trajectory attempts to exceed this limit.

  5. 5

    Perform a re-referencing or recalibration of the axis position, if applicable.
