Encoder Error

SEW Eurodrive · MOVIDRIVE compact System (MCF/MCV/MCS4_A)

What does 14 mean?

Immediate switch-off due to an issue with the encoder feedback, such as an incorrectly connected encoder cable or shield, a short circuit or broken wire within the cable, or a defective encoder unit itself. This prevents accurate speed and position feedback.

Common Causes

  • Encoder feedback signal is lost, corrupted, or inconsistent.
  • Faulty encoder on the motor.
  • Encoder cable disconnected or damaged, interrupting communication.
