External Encoder Implausible Values

What does FF0206h mean?

This fault indicates that the external encoder is providing implausible position or feedback values to the MOVI-PLC® system. This can be caused by issues such as wire breakage in draw-wire encoders. Upon detection, the axis system is automatically stopped if operating in automatic mode.

• External encoder is sending illogical or inconsistent position data.
• Encoder signal is intermittent or corrupted.
• Faulty external encoder hardware.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Inspect the wiring of the external encoder to the MOVI-PLC® encoder input terminals.

2. 2

   Measure encoder supply voltage at the terminal block.

3. 3

   Check encoder signal integrity by observing raw encoder counts or signal waveforms (if possible).

4. 4

   Verify encoder resolution and type settings in the MOVI-PLC® parameters match the physical encoder.
