Encoder 3: Absolute EnDat Internal Fault/Error

What does 233111 mean?

An internal fault has been detected within Absolute Encoder 3 (EnDat), as indicated by set bits in its fault word. This can signify issues such as a failed lighting system, low signal amplitude, incorrect position values, or problems with the encoder's 5V power supply (overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent). If applicable, it could also mean the encoder battery needs replacement.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

1. 1

   If fault value bit 0, 1, 2, or 5 is set, replace the encoder. If it's a motor encoder with a direct DRIVE-CLiQ socket, replace the motor.

2. 2

   If fault value bit 3 or 4 (5V power supply fault) is set, check the plug-in cable between the encoder and Sensor Module (SMC) or replace the SMC. For a motor encoder with direct DRIVE-CLiQ, replace the motor.

3. 3

   If fault value bit 6 is set, the battery within the encoder requires changing (applicable only to encoders with battery backup).
