"E16.11" fault in inovance MD800 drive indicate CANopen communication timeout. This means the drive fails to receive a response from a connected device within a specified time frame.

This can be caused by various factors, including:

  • Hardware Problems: Faulty CANopen interface, damaged cables, or incorrect connections.
  • Software Issues: Incorrect CANopen node ID, baud rate mismatches, or software bugs.
  • Network Interference: Noise or interference on the CANopen bus.
  • Device Compatibility: Incompatibility between the drive and the connected device.

Troubleshooting Steps:

  1. Check Hardware:

    • Inspect the CANopen interface on the drive and the connected device for any physical damage or loose connections.
    • Verify that the CANopen cables are securely plugged in and that they are shielded to minimize interference.
    • Use a cable tester to check the integrity of the cables.
    • If possible, try using a different CANopen cable or interface to isolate the problem.
  2. Verify Software Configuration:

    • Ensure that the CANopen node IDs of the drive and the connected device are unique and do not conflict.
    • Check that the CANopen baud rate is configured correctly on both devices.
    • Verify that the CANopen communication parameters (e.g., data rates, error checking) match between the drive and the connected device.
  3. Check for Network Interference:

    • If the CANopen bus is shared with other devices, try isolating the drive and the connected device to eliminate interference.
    • Use shielded cables and proper grounding techniques to reduce the susceptibility to noise.
  4. Test Device Compatibility:

    • If possible, try connecting a different CANopen device to the drive to see if the timeout persists.
    • If the problem is specific to a particular device, it may be incompatible with the drive or the CANopen network.
