A message from your Indramat drive controller isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Sure, sometimes you will see an irritating error code, but diagnostic messages just provide status information for the drive. Here’s a quick look at status diagnostic messages for Indramat Ecodrive drive controllers, and what those messages mean.
Call 479-422-0390 for immediate Indramat service, troubleshooting, or repair needs.
A000 Communication Phase 0
Phase 0 identifies the drive. This diagnostic message indicates that the drive is in phase 0 and is ready for the transition to phase 1.
A001 Communication Phase 1
As with phase 0, phase 1 identifies the drive. This message indicates that the drive is in phase 1, and has yet to trigger the switch to phase 2.
A002 Communication Phase 2
Phase 2 establishes the time and data protocols for the phases that follow. Command “S-0-0127 C1 Communication phase 3 transition check” must be started before the drive continues to phase 3.
A003 Communication Phase 3
The transition to phase 4 completes initialization and allows power to enable. Command “S-0-0128 C2 Communication phase 4 transition check” must be started before the drive continues to phase 4.
A010 Halt Drive
This message indicates that the “Drive stop” function has been activated.
A012 Control and Power Sections Ready for Operation
This diagnostic message indicates that the drive is ready for power output.
A013 Ready for Power ON
Power is applied to the drive, and no fault is detected. The drive is now ready to be switched on.
A100 Drive in Torque Mode
The drive is in torque mode and follows the specified command value.
A101 Drive in Velocity Mode
The drive is in velocity control mode and follows the specified command value.
A102 Position Mode Encoder 1
The drive is in position control mode and follows command value with a lag. In this mode the position encoder is attached to the motor shaft.
A103 Position Mode Encoder 2
The drive is in position control mode and follows command value with a lag. In this mode the position encoder is attached to the machine axis.
A104 Position Mode Encoder 1 / lagless positioning
The drive is in position control mode and follows command value without a lag. In this mode the position encoder is attached to the motor shaft.
A105 Position Mode Encoder 2 / lagless positioning
The drive is in position control mode and follows command value without a lag. In this mode the position encoder is attached to the machine axis.
A106 Drive-Controlled Interpolation/Encoder 1
After receiving a position control value from the controller, the drive interpolates a position command value that adheres to the value defined by the controller. The drive approaches the position with lag. In this mode the position encoder is attached to the motor shaft.
A107 Drive-Controlled Interpolation/Encoder 2
After receiving a position control value from the controller, the drive interpolates a position command value that adheres to the value defined by the controller. The drive approaches the position with lag. In this mode the position encoder is attached to the machine axis.
A108 Drive-Controlled Interpolation/Encoder 1/Lagless
After receiving a position control value from the controller, the drive interpolates a position command value that adheres to the value defined by the controller. The drive approaches the position without lag. In this mode the position encoder is attached to the motor shaft.
A109 Drive-Controlled Interpolation/Encoder 2/Lagless
After receiving a position control value from the controller, the drive interpolates a position command value that adheres to the value defined by the controller. The drive approaches the position without lag. In this mode the position encoder is attached to the machine axis.
