E844

Negative Travel Zone Limit Switch Activated

Indramat · ECODRIVE Controller

What does E844 mean?

The drive has received a command value that resulted in the axis reaching a position outside the defined negative travel range. The axis is stopped by setting the velocity command value to zero. This is treated as a warning when Bit 2 of S-0-0090 (Command Value Transmit Time - TMTSG) is set to "Exceeding the travel limit is considered as a warning", allowing automatic recovery if command values lead back to the valid range.

Common Causes

  • The negative travel zone limit switch has been actuated due to the axis moving beyond its defined negative travel range.
  • An erroneous command value instructed the axis to move past the negative limit.

Repair Steps & Checklist

  2. 2

    Verify the physical installation and functionality of the negative travel limit switch.

  3. 3

    Check the commanded position or motion profile from the control system to ensure it respects the defined travel limits.

  4. 4

    Review the parameter S-0-0090 (Command Value Transmit Time - TMTSG), specifically Bit 2, to understand the drive's reaction to exceeding travel limits.
