F7021

Safety related end position exceeded

Indramat · Indradrive

What does F7021 mean?

The motor's actual position has exceeded a safety-related end position limit. This is a critical safety function similar to F7011/F7012 but often refers to an absolute physical stop or a final safety limit, indicating that the axis has moved into an unsafe zone.

Common Causes

  • Uncontrolled motion beyond the defined safety end position.
  • Incorrectly configured safety-related end position parameter.
  • Faulty position feedback (encoder) providing incorrect actual position values.
  • Mechanical failure (e.g., brake failure, coupling slip) allowing overrun.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify the configured safety-related end position parameter in the IndraDrive against the machine's safety documentation.

  2. 2

    Check for any mechanical issues such as worn brakes, loose couplings, or physical obstructions.

  3. 3

    Inspect the position encoder for proper operation, secure mounting, and reliable signal output.

  4. 4

    Review the motion control program and command sequence for unintended movements near the end positions.

  5. 5

    Perform a full homing or referencing procedure if the axis position reference is lost or incorrect.
