Plausibility error actual position value

What does F7041 mean?

The actual position value reported by the encoder or derived by the safety technology is deemed implausible or inconsistent. This often occurs when there's a significant and unexpected discrepancy between redundant position sensors or internal estimations, indicating a potential loss of reliable position feedback.

• Faulty or noisy encoder signals.
• Mechanical looseness or slip between the encoder and the motor/load.
• Damage to the encoder or its cable.
• Discrepancy between redundant encoder channels if multiple feedbacks are used.
• Internal calculation error within the drive's safety logic.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Inspect all encoder connections and cabling for security, damage, and proper shielding against EMI.

2. 2

   Check the mechanical coupling of the encoder to the motor shaft for any play or slip.

3. 3

   Verify the functionality of the primary and any redundant position encoders, if applicable.

4. 4

   Review drive parameters related to position feedback and encoder monitoring for correct configuration.

5. 5

   Perform an encoder self-test or position calibration procedure to re-establish accurate feedback.
