"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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
