Symptoms

The AKD reports an encoder signal abnormality. The encoder feedback signal shows noise, missing pulses, or incorrect pattern.

Possible Causes

  • Encoder signal cable routing near high-power lines picking up noise
  • Encoder cable shielding broken or improperly grounded
  • Encoder resolution or output type mismatch with drive configuration

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Step 1: Check the encoder cable routing away from motor power cables
    Cable routing is separated from power lines
  2. Step 2: Verify the cable shielding is continuous and properly grounded
    Shielding is intact and grounded at one end
  3. Step 3: Confirm the encoder output type matches the drive input configuration
    Encoder type and drive setting match

How to Reset

To reset: Fix the encoder signal quality, then reset and restart.
