Assumed cause
Correction
Prevention
There is insufficient external
encoder power supply voltage.
Provide the required external
encoder power supply voltage 5
VDC ±5% (4.75 to 5.25 V).
Provide the required external
encoder power supply voltage 5
VDC ±5% (4.75 to 5.25 V).
Noise is entering on the external
encoder connector cable.
If the motor cable and the external
encoder cable are bundled
together, separate them. Connect
the shield to FG.

The external encoder failed.
If none of the above causes
applies, replace the external
encoder.
