3.2.1.3 Warnings
The encoder supports four classes of warnings:
Low Battery: The internal battery charge is checked one time after power up, if the capacity is low
this warning bit will be set.
High/Low-Temperature: This warning bit will be set if the temperature of the ADC exceeds the data
specified under 2.2. Short time exceeding is not registered by this system. Continuous tempera-
ture overrun may lead to position errors.
Internal ADC: This warning bit may be set if an internal serial interface error happen.
Light source: This bit reflects the light intensity of the light source. Light intensity decreases propor-
tional to life time and rotation speed of the system. Continuous low light intensity may lead to posi-
tion errors.

3.2.2 EtherCAT Specific Errors
ECAT specific errors are such configuration or communication errors that are communicated via AL Status
register and emergency messages.
