PGo

PG Disconnect (for Control Mode with PG)

Yaskawa · J1000 AC Drive

What does PGo mean?

No PG (Pulse Generator/encoder) pulses were received for a duration longer than the setting in F1-14. This indicates a physical disconnection or incorrect wiring of the PG cable, insufficient power to the PG encoder, or a brake preventing encoder movement, leading to a loss of speed/position feedback.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Reconnect the PG cable securely at both the encoder and the drive.

  2. 2

    Correct any incorrect PG cable wiring, ensuring phase and signal integrity.

  3. 3

    Ensure the PG encoder is supplied with the correct power supply voltage and current.

  4. 4

    Verify that the motor brake releases properly and is not holding the PG, preventing it from rotating freely.
