Hardware revision does not support EPL

¿Qué significa 30032 ?

The controller hardware does not support Ethernet POWERLINK (EPL). This specifically applies to earlier hardware revisions of MotiFlex e180 drives (with GCU-01 control cards before Rev A). This error is generated on these older hardware revisions if the EPL address switches are not both set at '0'. These older drives will still function in other operating modes, but EPL functionality requires a hardware exchange.

• Attempting to use Ethernet POWERLINK (EPL) on a MotiFlex e180 drive with an unsupported hardware revision (GCU-01 control card before Rev A).
• On older MotiFlex e180 hardware revisions not supporting EPL, the EPL address switches are not both set to '0', which triggers this error.
• Mismatch between the desired communication protocol (EPL) and the installed drive hardware capabilities.

1. 1

   Verify the hardware revision of the MotiFlex e180 drive, specifically checking the revision of the GCU-01 control card.

2. 2

   If using an older MotiFlex e180 (GCU-01 before Rev A) and EPL functionality is not intended, ensure both EPL address switches on the drive are physically set to '0'.

3. 3

   If Ethernet POWERLINK (EPL) functionality is absolutely required, the drive hardware must be exchanged for a revision that fully supports EPL.

4. 4

   Consider using an alternative communication protocol supported by the current hardware if EPL is not strictly mandatory and hardware exchange is not feasible.
