Faldic MHT259a (RYS-L type) Error AL EC: Encoder communication error

AC Servo System · taken from the manufacturer’s manual, pages cited

Alarm codeAL EC

Encoder communication error means there’s a failure in serial communication between the encoder and amplifier, possibly due to wiring issues. The manual's first action is: “The serial communication is performed at 4 [Mbps] of data rate. Do not extend the wiring by connecting several short cables. Connect the encoder by optional cable or specified cables. The encoder wiring has about 5 [V] of voltage amplitude. Do no install it in a location where a strong electric or magnetic field exists.”

What AL EC means

Encoder communication error p. 330

Common causes

  • Encoder communication error p. 330
  • The communication is not made between 16-bit serial encoder and amplifier. p. 330
  • The encoder wiring may be detached or disconnected. p. 330

What to do

  1. The serial communication is performed at 4 [Mbps] of data rate. Do not extend the wiring by connecting several short cables. Connect the encoder by optional cable or specified cables.
