Encoder 2: EnDat internal fault/error

What does 232111 mean?

The EnDat absolute encoder (Encoder 2) has reported an internal fault via its fault word. The fault value (r0949, binary) indicates the specific issue, such as lighting system failure, low signal amplitude, incorrect position value, encoder power supply problems (overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent), or a low battery condition. This prevents reliable position feedback.

Additional Steps

Steps 1–2 are listed in Priority Fix.

1. 3

   For 5V power supply issues (overvoltage, undervoltage), check the plug-in cable between the encoder and the SMC or replace the SMC. If using a motor with DRIVE-CLiQ, replace the motor.

2. 4

   If bit 6 (battery must be changed) is set, replace the battery for encoders equipped with battery backup.
