11.3 Checking the Encoders
In order to determine whether the encoder or the encoder input of the logic unit is defective, the encoders can
be switched at the logic unit For this purpose, the corresponding machine parameters must be altered as well.

X6 may only be used for a machine tool axis, if no spindle orientation is required.
Proceeding if error message is displayed
Switch off main switch.
Switch encoder X-axis with e.g. encoder Y-axis at the logic unit.
Switch on main switch.
If the error message POWER INTERRUPTED is generated, call the machine parameters with the code
number 95148 and switch the entry values of the machine parameters 110.0 and 110.1.
Exit the machine parameters and switch on the machine as usual.
If the same error message POWER INTERRUPTED is generated again, the error is located in the encoder or
in the extension cable. If the error message now says
instead of
the encoder input of the logic unit is
defective.
