Encoder Loss

Allen-Bradley · PowerFlex 700

What does 91 mean?

Requires a differential encoder. One of the two encoder channel signals (e.g., A or B) is missing. This indicates a problem with the encoder feedback, which is critical for precise motor control, leading to loss of speed or position regulation.

Common Causes

  • Encoder cable disconnected or damaged.
  • Encoder power supply failure (e.g., 24VDC).
  • Faulty encoder module.
  • Interference on encoder feedback lines.
