A32461 (N) Encoder 2: Analog sensor channel B failed
Message class: Actual position/speed value incorrect or not available (11)
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The input voltage of the analog sensor is outside the permissible limits.
Alarm value (r2124, interpret decimal):
1: Input voltage outside detectable measuring range.
2: Input voltage outside the measuring range set in (p4675).
3: The absolute value of the input voltage has exceeded the range limit (p4676).
Remedy: For alarm value = 1:
- check the output voltage of the analog sensor.
For alarm value = 2:
- check the voltage setting for each encoder period (p4675).
For alarm value = 3:
- check the range limit setting and increase it if necessary (p4676).
A32462 (N) Encoder 2: Analog sensor no channel active
Message class: Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18)
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: Channel A and B are not activated for the analog sensor.
Remedy: - activate channel A and/or channel B (p4670).
- check the encoder configuration (p0404.17).
A32463 (N) Encoder 2: Analog sensor position value exceeds limit value
Message class: Actual position/speed value incorrect or not available (11)
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: The position value has exceeded the permissible range of -0.5 ... +0.5.
Alarm value (r2124, interpret decimal):
1: Position value from the LVDT sensor.
2: Position value from the encoder characteristic.
Remedy: For alarm value = 1:
- check the LVDT ratio (p4678).
- check the reference signal connection at track B.
For alarm value = 2:
- check the coefficients of the characteristic (p4663 ... p4666).
A32470 (F, N) Encoder 2: Soiling detected
Message class: Actual position/speed value incorrect or not available (11)
Reaction: NONE
Acknowledge: NONE
Cause: In the case of the alternative encoder system interface on the Sensor Module Cabinet 30 (SMC30), encoder soiling is
signaled via a 0 signal at terminal X521.7.
Remedy: - check the plug connections.
- replace the encoder or encoder cable.
