Troubleshooting Allen Bradley 1756-M02AE Axis Servo Loop Error: Flashing Red Light Issue

Question:

Hello everyone, I have encountered an issue with a flashing red light on the FDBK indicator, indicating that the axis servo loop error tolerance has been exceeded. I am unsure of what is causing this problem. Has anyone experienced this issue before? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

rvtran inquired: Greetings everyone, I am encountering the issue of a flashing red light on the FDBK indicator, with the manual indicating that it signifies an axis servo loop error tolerance being exceeded. I am unsure of the cause behind this issue. Has anyone experienced this problem before and if so, could you please offer assistance? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. I am facing the same problem, have you managed to resolve it and if so, would you be able to share your solution?

A fault occurs when the position error goes beyond the preset axis limit, leading to a discrepancy between the feedback and the commanded analog position. This issue could arise from encoder malfunctions, encoder slippage, or physical constraints preventing the axis from moving as directed.

I'm encountering a recurring issue where the axis fault displayed is actually related to a module fault. Is there a more effective solution to resolve this problem? I've attempted re-inserting the module into the backplane and power cycling the equipment, but the issue continues to persist at a higher frequency. Any advice on troubleshooting this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there! I've encountered the same issue before with my servo loop. In my case, it turned out to be an encoder issue - the feedback device wasn't properly aligned with the motor. I'd suggest checking the alignment first, and if that's not the problem, you might want to look into the possibility of any software glitches or even a motor damage. Hope this helps!
