04AF0000 hex

Encoder Phase-Z Error

Omron · NJ/NX-series Machine Automation Controller

What does 04AF0000 hex mean?

A missing serial incremental encoder phase-Z pulse was detected. This means the encoder is not providing its reference zero-position pulse correctly, essential for accurate homing and absolute positioning.

Common Causes

  • The encoder is faulty.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Inspect the serial incremental encoder cable for physical damage, proper routing, and secure connections at both the encoder and the Omron NJ/NX controller's input module.

  2. 2

    Verify the encoder's power supply voltage at its input terminals against the manufacturer's specifications to ensure stable operation.

  3. 3

    Check the encoder configuration parameters within the Omron Sysmac Studio project, specifically verifying the encoder type, resolution, and Z-phase input settings.

  4. 4

    Examine the mechanical coupling between the encoder and the motor shaft for looseness, slippage, or damage that could prevent accurate pulse generation.
