Autom. commutation: max. motion range when moving back

What does F8010 mean?

During automatic commutation determination, the motor exceeded its maximum allowed motion range while attempting to move backward. This error indicates that the drive could not find the correct commutation offset within the expected mechanical limits during an automatic setup procedure.

• Mechanical obstruction or binding preventing the motor from moving freely backward.
• Incorrectly set commutation parameters or motor type selection.
• Encoder feedback issues (loose connection, incorrect mounting, faulty sensor) causing misinterpretation of position.
• Excessive friction or load on the motor.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Check for any mechanical obstructions on the motor shaft or coupled load that might impede backward motion.

2. 2

   Verify that the motor and encoder cables are securely connected and free from damage.

3. 3

   Review the drive parameters related to automatic commutation and motor type (e.g., S-0-0013 Motor Type, S-0-0192 Commutation offset, S-0-0200 Max motor speed).

4. 4

   Perform an encoder self-test if available, and ensure correct mounting and alignment.

5. 5

   Reduce any mechanical load on the motor before attempting automatic commutation again.
