43
Encoder fault
Vacon · 100 FLOW Application Guide
What does 43 mean?
A problem has been detected in the encoder signals. Subcodes pinpoint specific issues such as missing channel A or B signals, both channels missing, encoder reversed, missing encoder board, serial communication fault, channel A/B mismatch, resolver/motor pole pair mismatch, or missed start angle.
Common Causes
- Encoder signal is missing, incorrect, or noisy.
- Encoder wiring is disconnected or damaged.
- Encoder is faulty or has failed internally.
- Encoder resolution or type mismatch with drive configuration.
- High electrical noise interfering with encoder signals.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Check the physical connections of the encoder channel A and B signals to the frequency converter.
- 2
Check the physical connection and integrity of the encoder board within the drive.
