E2049

Positioning velocity >= limit value

Indramat · IndraDrive MPx02

What does E2049 mean?

The actual positioning velocity of the motor in the IndraDrive MPx02 has reached or exceeded the configured velocity limit. This is a warning indicating that the motor is operating at its maximum allowed speed, potentially due to an aggressive command, incorrect scaling, or an unexpected external condition.

Common Causes

  • Commanded velocity from the master controller is too high, exceeding the configured limit.
  • Incorrect velocity scaling parameters in the drive or master controller.
  • Mechanical system feedback issue causing an overspeed indication from the encoder.
  • A motion profile is requesting velocity beyond the design limits of the motor or machine.
  • Unexpected external forces aiding motion, leading to exceeding velocity limits.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify the commanded velocity from the master control system and compare it against the drive's configured velocity limits (e.g., P-0-0090, Velocity command value limit).

  2. 2

    Adjust the commanded velocity or the motion profile to ensure it stays within the mechanical and electrical limits of the system and the drive.

  3. 3

    Review any velocity scaling parameters in the IndraDrive MPx02 or the master controller to ensure correct unit conversion and limits.

  4. 4

    Monitor the actual velocity feedback to confirm its accuracy and rule out encoder issues if the motor does not appear to be moving excessively fast.

  5. 5

    If a higher velocity is required, ensure the mechanical system can safely handle it, then increase the drive's velocity limit parameters.
