Timeout of communication (RS-485)

What does Timeout of communication mean?

Communication timeout occurred between the MOVIMOT unit and the RS-485 master, causing the motor to stop without generating a specific error code. This indicates a disruption in the data link.

• Missing physical connection (ground, RS+, RS-) between MOVIMOT and RS-485 master.
• Electromagnetic interference (EMC) affecting the data cables.
• Incorrect protocol type (cyclical) where the time between individual telegrams exceeds 1 second.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Check the physical connection, especially the ground, RS+, and RS- terminals, between the MOVIMOT and the RS-485 master and repair any identified issues.

2. 2

   Inspect the shielding of the data cables and improve it if necessary to mitigate EM interference.

3. 3

   Shorten the telegram cycle time or select the "acyclical" protocol type if using a cyclical protocol with a cycle time exceeding 1 second.
