Plausibility error actual position value
Indramat · Indradrive
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.
Common Causes
- 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.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Inspect all encoder connections and cabling for security, damage, and proper shielding against EMI.
- 2
Check the mechanical coupling of the encoder to the motor shaft for any play or slip.
- 3
Verify the functionality of the primary and any redundant position encoders, if applicable.
- 4
Review drive parameters related to position feedback and encoder monitoring for correct configuration.
- 5
Perform an encoder self-test or position calibration procedure to re-establish accurate feedback.
