Hardware revision does not support EPL (_ecHARDWARE_DOES_NOT_SUPPORT_EPL)

Hva betyr 30032 ?

This error indicates that the drive's hardware revision does not support Ethernet POWERLINK (EPL). Specifically, earlier e180 drives with GCU-01 control cards before Revision A lack EPL support. If the EPL address switches are not set to '0' on such hardware, this error will be generated. While the drive may function in other modes, EPL functionality will be unavailable, requiring a hardware upgrade if EPL is essential.

• Drive's GCU-01 control card is an older revision (pre-Revision A) incompatible with Ethernet POWERLINK (EPL) protocol.
• Firmware upgrade attempted to enable EPL functionality on hardware that physically does not support it.
• Incorrect drive model or control card selected for an application requiring EPL communication.
• Attempted to activate EPL using parameter P6-01 (EtherCAT/EPL mode selection) on a non-EPL compatible hardware revision.

Klikk på steg for å spore fremgangen.

1. 1

   Verify the hardware revision of the GCU-01 control card by physically inspecting the PCB label (e.g., 'GCU-01 Rev. A').

2. 2

   Check the drive's serial number against manufacturer documentation to confirm EPL compatibility for the installed hardware.

3. 3

   If EPL is required, replace the GCU-01 control card with Revision A or newer, or replace the entire drive with an EPL-compatible model.

4. 4

   If EPL is not required, ensure Parameter P6-01 is set to a non-EPL communication mode (e.g., '0' for disabled or a different fieldbus).
