250

No Absolute Encoder Present

Indramat · dds 2.1 digital servo drive User Manual

What does 250 mean?

This fault is triggered when the DDS 2.1 drive attempts to execute the procedure command 'Set Absolute Measuring' (IDN P-O-0012) but does not detect an absolute encoder on the connected motor. This indicates a mismatch between the commanded function and the motor's feedback device.

Common Causes

  • The connected motor does not have an absolute encoder.
  • Absolute encoder is not properly connected or is defective.
  • Incorrect drive configuration for absolute encoder operation.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify that the motor being used is equipped with an absolute encoder as required for the 'Set Absolute Measuring' command (IDN P-O-0012).

  2. 2

    Inspect the absolute encoder's wiring and connections to the DDS 2.1 drive for proper installation and integrity.

  3. 3

    Check the drive's parameters related to feedback configuration to ensure it is correctly set for an absolute encoder.

  4. 4

    If an absolute encoder is required, exchange the motor with one that has a properly functioning absolute feedback device mounted.
