RYS MHT260a Error AL EC: Encoder communication error

Motor amplifier · taken from the manufacturer’s manual, pages cited

Alarm codeAL EC

Communication between the 16-bit serial encoder and amplifier is failing, likely due to wiring issues or improper connections. 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. 251

Common causes

  • Encoder communication error p. 251
  • The communication is not made between 16-bit serial encoder and amplifier. p. 251
  • The encoder wiring may be detached or disconnected. p. 251

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. 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. p. 251

Before you service the product, read the safety instructions in the manual p. 3.
