08

Marker Pulse 1?

Indramat · ServoDyn D Servo Drive

What does 08 mean?

This error occurs if the marker pulse of the Axis 1 encoder is detected too close (closer than 1/16 revolution) to the homing switch cam. This can lead to unreliable homing operations or incorrect home position detection for Axis 1.

Common Causes

  • Homing switch cam for Axis 1 is physically positioned too close to the encoder's marker pulse detection point.
  • Incorrect mechanical adjustment of the homing switch or the encoder itself.
  • Faulty Axis 1 encoder producing an unstable or noisy marker pulse.
  • Configuration parameters for homing (Parameter 08 or Parameter 10) are incorrect.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Adjust the physical position of the homing switch cam for Axis 1 to ensure a clearance greater than 1/16 revolution from the encoder marker pulse.

  2. 2

    Verify that Parameter 08 (Homing Setup) and Parameter 10 (Homing Setup I/O) for Axis 1 are correctly configured as per the manual (refer to Chapter 4).

  3. 3

    Inspect the Axis 1 encoder for any physical damage or loose connections that could affect marker pulse generation.

  4. 4

    Check the homing switch for proper mechanical actuation and reliable electrical signaling.

  5. 5

    Use an oscilloscope to observe the encoder marker pulse signal and homing switch signal to identify timing or noise issues.
