AuxFeedbackFault

Applies to: Servo Drive axes.
AuxFeedbackFault is a Boolean attribute. It is set when the controller fails to receive feedback from a drive configured for Auxiliary Feedback (in the Motor/Feedback tab of the Axis Properties dialog box). The cause of the fault can be a connection problem, or a hardware problem with either the auxiliary feedback device or its power supply.
AuxFeedbackFault is a recoverable fault.
To recover from an AuxFeedbackFault:
  1. Fix the underlying problem: either the connection or the device.
  2. Be sure your program or fault handling routine contains either a:
    • Fault Reset (MAFR) instruction, to clear all motion faults for an axis, or
    • Shutdown Reset (MASR or MGSR) instruction to return to the axis ready operating state.
The occurrence of an AuxFeedbackFault sets bit #6 of the respective DriveFault or ServoFault attribute, the PhysicalAxisFault attribute and bit #0 of the AxisFault attribute.
