Wire break
● Signal line to an encoder
interrupted
● Signal line to an actuator
interrupted
● Encoder supply line interrupted
Correction of the process intercon‐
nection
Error on the external circuit (resist‐
ance)
Eliminate errors
Encoder is defect
Exchange the encoder
Incorrect encoder type configured
Correction of the configuration
Input/output channel is unused
(open)
Deactivation of the "Diagnostic
Group Diagnostics" parameter for
this output channel
Load impedance is too large
Use actuator with lower load impe‐
dance
