SKERN-CC%2, X%4: Comm.error during EnDat encoder dynamic sampling

What does 231-A085 mean?

A communication error occurred during the forced dynamic sampling of the EnDat encoder (X%4). This specific error indicates that both ignore flags were set at the same time, which is an invalid state during dynamic sampling.

• Communication error during forced dynamic sampling of the EnDat encoder (X%4).
• Both ignore flags were set simultaneously, indicating an invalid state in the encoder communication protocol.
• Faulty EnDat encoder or encoder cable.
• Interference on the EnDat communication line.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Inspect the EnDat encoder cable (X%4) for damage, proper shielding, and secure connections at both the encoder and controller ends.

2. 2

   Verify the integrity of the EnDat encoder; check for physical damage or signs of malfunction.

3. 3

   Check for sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) near the encoder cable run.

4. 4

   Ensure the controller's software and firmware are up-to-date and compatible with the EnDat encoder.
