2940 AC00/E130

CC amplitude too high %.2s

Heidenhain · NC Control

What does 2940 AC00/E130 mean?

The amplitude of the encoder signal is too high, or a signal indicating contamination is active. This can be caused by electrical disturbance on the motor encoder signal, a short circuit in the motor encoder cable, or the motor encoder itself generating an excessively high signal amplitude.

Common Causes

  • The amplitude of the encoder signal is too high or the signal for contamination is active.
  • Disturbance on motor encoder signal.
  • Short circuit in motor encoder cable.
  • Signal amplitude of motor encoder is too high.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Inspect the motor encoder cable for the specified axis for any signs of damage, fraying, or short circuits between conductors or to ground.

  2. 2

    Verify the ground connection of the motor encoder to ensure proper shielding and signal integrity, reducing external interference.

  3. 3

    Check for external sources of electrical interference or noise (e.g., from power cables, welding) that could affect the encoder signal.

  4. 4

    Inspect the motor encoder for contamination (e.g., oil, dust, metal particles) or physical damage that might affect signal quality.

  5. 5

    If available, use an oscilloscope to measure the encoder signal amplitude directly at the encoder output and at the control input to confirm it is within specified limits.
