Common Causes

  • Complete loss of communication signal on the bus (e.g., PROFIBUS, SERCOS, EtherCAT).
  • Faulty communication cable or connectors.
  • Problem with the master controller's communication interface.
  • Severe electromagnetic interference disrupting bus communication.
  • Defective communication interface on the IndraDrive.
