Error
Minor
np
Position sensor subsys‐
tems could not match their
signals due to shocks,
hardware faults or too high
speed during power-up.
Synchronization of the
counted position and a new
absolute position was not
possible.
Attention!
If this error is accompanied
by the following (position
synchronization related) criti‐
cal errors, the system must
be placed in a safe state:
•
Counter Error
(ENC_ST0)
•
Position Cross-check
Error (ENC_ST1)
Meaning, it becomes a criti‐
cal severity error.
In any other case, it can be
handled as a minor severity
error and no action required.

Cross-
check
Error
Critical
p
Cross-check of the two
safety channels failed.
The drive system must be
placed in a safe condition.
Action: SW reset of the
encoder.

Counter
Error
Critical
p
Position quadrant counter
has detected an invalid
sequence of signals
Occurrence during opera‐
tion leads to a permanent
error.
The drive system must be
placed in a safe condition.
Action: SW reset of the
encoder.
EEx37
Improper
Configu‐
ration
Error
Encoder has detected an
invalid configuration.
Possible cause: allocation
misalignment between
encoder and motor shaft or
general encoder hardware
problem.
Occurrence during opera‐
tion leads to a permanent
error.
Bit will be set after start-up,
so clearing is needed.
Action: SW reset of the
encoder
