Hello everyone, I'm currently experiencing an issue with encoder adjustment on the Sew Electric Cylinder CMS71L. The encoder being used is the Sick HiperfaceDrive and the drive is the MOVIDRIVE B (MDX61B). I followed the following procedure: - Released the brake and applied 10V DC to the V and W terminals (-ve to V, +ve to W), then held the brake and fitted the encoder. - Connected to MOVIDRIVE B and connected the drive to movitool for encoder adjustment. Issue 1: However, I encountered errors during the encoder adjustment process and was unable to complete it. After several hardware adjustments, I was able to successfully finish the encoder adjustment. Issue 2: Unfortunately, while running the motor, it displayed an encoder error after some time. I hope this explanation clarifies the problem. I would appreciate any assistance in resolving these issues. Thank you.
Can you please provide the part number for your encoder?
DarrylR inquired about the encoder part numbers for the motors in use. One motor is equipped with the SRM50-HZA0-S05 encoder, another with the SRM50-HZZ0-S21 encoder, and a third motor with the SRM50S-HFZ0-S22 encoder.
Which interface card should I use for my system? Options include the DEH11B, DEU21B...
What specific error or errors are currently appearing on your screen?

Hello, Sorry to hear about the issues you're facing with your Sick HiperfaceDrive encoder and your MOVIDRIVE B. It sounds like you've done a good job troubleshooting so far. Concerning the encoder error you encounter while running the motor, a few things come to mind. Faulty wiring could be a possibility - so double-checking all of your connections might be beneficial. You might also want to ensure that your cables are adequately shielded and grounded since electromagnetic noise could sometimes cause errors. Finally, it could be worthwhile to test the encoder separately, perhaps it's faulty. I hope this helps, keep us posted on your progress.
Hey there, it sounds like you're having a bit of a rough time with that encoder. I've run into similar issues before with the Sick HiperfaceDrive. From your description, it seems like there might be a compatibility issue between the encoder and the drive. If you've followed the steps correctly (which it sounds like you have), there shouldn't be an error popping up. In this case, I'd suggest checking the model and version of both the drive and the encoder, and then cross-referencing with the manufacturer’s specs to ensure compatibility. If everything seems alright on that end, it's possible that the encoder itself might be faulty. Resetting or replacing it could potentially solve the problem.

Answer: Answer: Errors during the encoder adjustment process could be caused by incorrect wiring, faulty components, or improper setup. It is important to double-check the connections and follow the adjustment procedure accurately.
Answer: Answer: To troubleshoot encoder adjustment issues, ensure that all connections are secure and correct, follow the adjustment procedure provided by the manufacturer, and check for any error messages or indicators on the drive interface.
Answer: Answer: When encountering an encoder error while running the motor, it is recommended to check the encoder connections, verify the encoder settings in the drive software, and inspect the encoder itself for any damage or malfunctions. Repeating the adjustment process may also help resolve the issue.
