F245 Encoder 2 failure: quadrant error

The evaluation of the additional optional encoder (encoder 2) is active. In
the evaluation of the sinusoidal input signals of the optional encoder, a
plausibility check is performed between these signals and the counter fed
by these signals. Doing this, an error has been encountered.
Cause:
1. Defective encoder cable
2. Disruptive electro-magnetic interference on the encoder cable
3. Defective encoder interface
Remedy:
For 1. Exchange the encoder cable.
For 2. Keep the encoder cable well away from power cables.
For 3. Exchange the encoder interface (DIAX) or the drive (Ecodrive).

F246 Max signal frequency of encoder 2 exceeded

The signal frequency of the encoder 2 (optional encoder) is checked
whether the allowed max. frequency of the encoder interface is exceeded.
Whether, in the case of an excessive frequency, the error F246, Max
signal frequency for encoder 2 exceeded is generated or not, depends on
the setting in the parameter P-0-0185, Function of encoder 2. If the
number 4 for spindle encoder is set there, only the position status of the
optional encoder is cleared to 0. In the other case, the warning F246 is
generated and the position status is cleared to 0.

F248 Low battery voltage

Cause:
For motors of series MKD and MKE, the absolute position information is
stored by a battery-powered electronic in the motor feedback. The battery
is designed for a 10-year life span. If the battery voltage falls below 3,1 V,
this message appears. The absolute encoder function will still be
preserved for about 2 weeks.
Malfunction in the control of motors and moving
elements
CAUTION

Replace the battery as soon as possible.

Instructions for Exchanging Batteries
