What does F116 mean?

A general error originating from an application module, indicating a problem in the drive's specialized control functions. This fault has several specific sub-errors that further define the nature of the issue, such as encoder problems or limit switch activations.

Common Causes

  • Suberror 14: Encoder error, indicating an issue with the motor's feedback device.
  • Suberror 29: A limit switch has been reached, restricting motion beyond defined boundaries.
  • Suberror 42: Lag error, meaning the actual position/speed deviates significantly from the commanded setpoint.
  • Suberror 78: A software limit switch has been reached, enforced by configured parameters.
