Encoder Fault

Vacon · X4 AC Drive

What does 37 mean?

This fault indicates a problem with the motor encoder, which could be an overspeed condition, improper setup, or a general malfunction. Accurate encoder feedback is crucial for precise motor control and speed regulation, especially in closed-loop applications. Incorrect feedback can lead to unstable operation.

Additional Steps

Steps 1–2 are listed in Priority Fix.

  1. 3

    If the setup is suspected to be incorrect, attempt the encoder setup routine again.

  2. 4

    If the fault persists after checking wiring and configuration, the encoder itself may be faulty and require replacement. Consult the factory for diagnosis.
