Motor encoder moved beyond parameterized tolerance window during position tracking, causing loss of reference. The manual's first action is: “Reactivate the position tracking function (set p29243 = 1 -> 0 -> 1). Then the fault is acknowledged and, if necessary, adjust the encoder encoder (ABS).”

What F7448 means
Load gear: Position tracking actual position outside tolerance window p. 292
Common causes
- When switched off, the currently effective motor encoder was moved through a distance greater than was parameterized in the tolerance window. It is possible that there is no longer any reference between the mechanical system and encoder. Fault value (r0949, interpret decimal): Deviation (difference) to the last encoder position in increments of the absolute value after the measuring gear - if one is being used. The sign designates the traversing direction. Note: The deviation (difference) window is pre-assigned quarter of the encoder range. p. 292
Safety warnings — read before you start
- DANGERGeneral Safety Instructions. Qualified Personnel The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions. p. 2
- WARNINGRisk of Electric Shock and Fire. Risk of electric shock and fire from supply networks with an excessively low impedance Excessively high short-circuit currents can lead to the protective devices not being able to interrupt these short-circuit currents and being destroyed, and thus causing electric shock or a fire. p. 12
- WARNINGElectric Shock if No Ground Connection. Electric shock if there is no ground connection For missing or incorrectly implemented protective conductor connection for devices with protection class I, high voltages can be present at open, exposed parts, which when touched, can result in death or severe injury. p. 12
- WARNINGElectric Shock Due to Unsuitable Power Supply. Electric shock due to connection to an unsuitable power supply When equipment is connected to an unsuitable power supply, exposed components may carry a hazardous voltage that might result in serious injury or death. p. 12
What to do
- Reactivate the position tracking function (set p29243 = 1 -> 0 -> 1). Then the fault is acknowledged and, if necessary, adjust the encoder encoder (ABS). p. 292
If F7448 is still not resolved
