Encoder fault

Vacon · 100 FLOW Application Guide

What does 43 mean?

A problem has been detected in the encoder signals. Subcodes pinpoint specific issues such as missing channel A or B signals, both channels missing, encoder reversed, missing encoder board, serial communication fault, channel A/B mismatch, resolver/motor pole pair mismatch, or missed start angle.

Common Causes

  • Encoder signal is missing, incorrect, or noisy.
  • Encoder wiring is disconnected or damaged.
  • Encoder is faulty or has failed internally.
  • Encoder resolution or type mismatch with drive configuration.
  • High electrical noise interfering with encoder signals.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Check the physical connections of the encoder channel A and B signals to the frequency converter.

  2. 2

    Check the physical connection and integrity of the encoder board within the drive.
