Slewing Motor Encoder Failure (internal short)

If the motor encoder is internally shorted, the drive may not operate in partial open loop as it tries to protect itself.  If this is the case, unplug the 2 connectors from the slew drive and reprogram parameter 90.46 to Force Open Loop.

The drive will also need to be told not to look for the Encoder.

  • Parameter 75.12
  • Switch from 2 to 0
  • Save

In this specific case, operator experienced a separate fault showing “Transition 4” .  Here is the link to that fault.
