Positive travel limit exceeded
Indramat · Indradrive
What does F6029 mean?
The motor's actual position has exceeded the configured positive software travel limit. This fault indicates that the axis has moved beyond its allowed maximum position, potentially entering an unsafe area or causing mechanical damage.
Common Causes
- Overrun due to excessive inertia or inadequate deceleration.
- Incorrectly configured positive software travel limit parameter.
- Faulty position feedback (encoder) providing erroneous actual position values.
- Control program error commanding movement beyond the limit.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Verify the configured positive software travel limit parameter (e.g., S-0-0XXX Pos Limit) in the IndraDrive.
- 2
Check the motor encoder for proper operation, secure mounting, and reliable signal output.
- 3
Review the motion control program for any commands that might cause overtravel.
- 4
Adjust deceleration ramps to ensure the axis stops within the defined limits, accounting for mechanical inertia.
- 5
Perform a homing or referencing procedure to re-establish the correct position reference.
