What does 43 mean?

A problem has been detected in the encoder signals, which are crucial for accurate speed and position feedback. This can be caused by missing or faulty channels (A or B), a reversed encoder, or a missing encoder board. Inaccurate feedback can lead to unstable motor control or drive shutdown.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Check all encoder channel connections for tightness and proper wiring.

  2. 2

    Inspect the encoder board for proper installation and any signs of damage.

  3. 3

    Verify the encoder frequency, especially if operating in open-loop mode, to ensure it is within expected limits.
