Pos. window for safety rel. operational stop exceeded
Indramat · Indradrive
What does F7030 mean?
The motor's actual position has moved outside the defined safety-related operational stop position window. This fault occurs when a safe operational stop function is active, meaning the motor should be held within a very narrow position tolerance, but has drifted or moved excessively.
Common Causes
- Mechanical play or backlash in the system allowing motor drift.
- Insufficient holding torque from the motor or brake.
- Incorrectly configured position window for safe operational stop.
- Faulty position feedback causing the drive to misinterpret its position.
- External forces acting on the load, pushing it out of the window.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Check for mechanical play, backlash, or compliance in the drivetrain that allows the axis to drift.
- 2
Verify that the motor brake (if used) is holding adequately and that the motor is correctly sized for holding the load.
- 3
Review the safety-related operational stop position window parameters (e.g., S-0-0XXX Safe Operating Stop Window) in the IndraDrive.
- 4
Inspect the position encoder for proper function and signal integrity.
- 5
Ensure there are no external forces or vibrations acting on the load that could push it out of the safety window.
