08170000 hex

Encoder Data Restoration Error

Omron · NJ/NX-series Machine Automation Controller

What does 08170000 hex mean?

Initialization of internal position data was not processed correctly in Semi-closed Control Mode and Absolute Value Mode. This implies a failure to correctly establish the encoder's initial position, affecting control accuracy.

Common Causes

  • There is insufficient power supply voltage for the encoder.
  • Noise is entering on the encoder line.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Inspect all encoder cable connections at both the absolute encoder and the Omron NJ/NX controller for looseness, damage, or incorrect pinout.

  2. 2

    Measure the supply voltage at the absolute encoder input terminals to confirm it meets the encoder manufacturer's specifications.

  3. 3

    Verify the absolute encoder parameters and settings within the Omron NJ/NX controller, including encoder type, resolution, and absolute position initialization method, against the machine's configuration documentation.

  4. 4

    Check for any signs of electrical noise or interference affecting the encoder signal cable, especially in proximity to power cables or inductive loads.
