E2010

Position control with encoder 2 not possible

Indramat · IndraDrive MPx02

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.

Common Causes

  • 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.

Repair Steps & Checklist

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.
