Subject to change without notice
5.4.3 Alarm channel
The AFS60/AFM60 PROFINET transmits the errors and warnings to the control system
in the so-called alarm channel. The transmission contains the alarm IDs, the necessary
address information and the so-called channel-related diagnosis.
Errors are signaled as diagnostic errors and warnings as maintenance prompts:
Diagnostics during commissioning
Table 51: Possible errors in the alarm channel
Maximum frequency exceeded
Operating temperature exceeded/dropped below
Low power output from the light source for the optical scanning (LED)
Table 52: Possible warnings in the alarm channel
5.4.4 Error codes in telegram part G1_XIST2
In the case of an error, an error code is output in the cyclic process data in the
telegram part G1_XIST2 (see Table 7 on page 16 and Table 11 on page 18). These
manufacturer-specific error codes permit detailed error analysis.
Error of the encoder
sensor
Error on the generation of the encoder signal that
would lead to an invalid position value in
Gx_XISTx (e.g. error in the electronics, invalid
sensor signal etc.)
Command (e.g. requested via a control word) is
not supported
Operating temperature
exceeded
Maximum operating temperature exceeded
Invalid checksum found in the EEPROM or
EEPROM cannot be read
Minimum operating voltage dropped below. The
encoder is started again once the minimum
operating voltage is reached.
Maximum operating voltage exceeded
