Travel range exceeded

What does F14.24 mean?

The drive's position for Encoder 2 has exceeded the maximum allowable travel range defined by the current position mode (8382.10). This indicates a configuration error or unexpected machine movement, which can lead to mechanical limits being hit or incorrect positioning.

• Maximum travel range (P2-15) for Encoder 2 in position mode (8382.10) is set too restrictively, preventing normal machine operation.
• Incorrect scaling factor (e.g., P2-16 Gear ratio numerator) or feedback resolution (P3-55) for Encoder 2 causing actual position to be misinterpreted.
• Mechanical overtravel of the machine axis beyond its defined physical limits, triggering the fault before the mechanical end stop.
• Inaccurate homing procedure for Encoder 2, leading to an incorrect absolute position reference at startup.
• Uncommanded motion or external force acting on the axis, pushing Encoder 2 beyond its configured travel window.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Verify and adjust the maximum travel range parameter (P2-15) to accommodate the full mechanical stroke of the axis.

2. 2

   Check the mechanical limits and end stops of the machine axis to ensure they are physically intact and functioning.

3. 3

   Re-perform the homing procedure for Encoder 2, ensuring the machine reaches the correct reference position.

4. 4

   Verify the encoder scaling factors and resolution parameters (e.g., P2-16, P3-55, P3-56) match the machine mechanics and encoder type.

5. 5

   Monitor the actual position feedback value (e.g., via HMI or drive software) to observe the exact point at which the fault triggers.
