Instruction manual ME3816-6B

Alarm Group D: Controller-Encoder Abnormality Alarm

An abnormality occurred between the controller and encoder.
No.
Cause
Countermeasure
If a similar alarm persists after turning the power supply back on, it is likely that a contact failure has occurred at the connector of the cable that connects the controller and motor.
After shutting off the power supply, remove the cable connector and firmly re-insert it all the way.
If this does not improve the situation, the cable may be disconnected, in which case the connection cable should be replaced.
2
The communication between the controller and encoder is affected by the noise of a peripheral device and cannot operate normally.
Shut down the power supply of the peripheral device and operate only with the ELECYLINDER, then check to see whether this alarm persists.
If it does not, there is a possibility that the ELECYLINDER is affected by the noise from the peripheral device.
Reconsider the noise countermeasures (grounding protection, power line wiring, electrostatic shielding, etc.) for the peripheral device.
3
If this alarm recurs after performing the inspection above and improving the power supply environment, it is highly likely that the motor or controller has failed.
Replace the motor unit or PC board.
For details, refer to the Instruction manual for each ELECYLINDER, Maintenance and Inspection.
4
A change was made to Parameter No. 3 or No. 4 while WA (battery-less absolute encoder type) is selected in an option.
Reset the alarm and then perform the homereturn operation.
