Position control with encoder 2 not possible

What does E2010 mean?

This warning occurs when an attempt is made to switch to encoder 2 for position control, but a second encoder has not been properly defined or configured as the control encoder in the IndraDrive MPx02. This typically happens in operating modes that utilize parameter S-0-0520 (Control word of axis controller) for encoder selection.

• The second encoder is not physically connected to the drive.
• The second encoder is connected but not correctly configured or enabled as a control encoder in the drive parameters.
• Incorrect selection of encoder 2 in parameter S-0-0520 from the master controller.
• A configuration mismatch between the drive and the application regarding the use of multiple encoders.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Verify that a second encoder is physically connected to the IndraDrive MPx02 and that all wiring (power, signal) is secure and correct according to the drive's wiring diagram.

2. 2

   Check the drive's configuration parameters to ensure that encoder 2 is defined and enabled as a control encoder for the relevant operating mode.

3. 3

   Review the settings for S-0-0520 (Control word of axis controller) to confirm that the attempt to switch to encoder 2 is intended and correctly initiated by the higher-level controller or PLC.

4. 4

   If the second encoder is present and configured, inspect its functionality and signal quality, ensuring it is providing valid feedback signals.
