What to do if Pepperl+Fuchs Media Converter absolute encoder is not reporting?
- JJennifer NelsonAug 5, 2025
If the PLC and master connection are on, and the bus is active, but the absolute encoder isn't reporting, start by checking the LEDs in the connection hood to understand the error cause. If both LEDs are off, check the power supply. If both are on, the device isn't receiving parameters or configuration data; verify the address setting, bus line connections (BUS IN/BUS OUT), and projecting. A red LED with a flashing green LED indicates a parameter error, so check the parameter assignment, such as the overall resolution.
