39605: Encoder: HIPERFACE DSL: Encoder status: Position Vector Length Error (ST0:5)

Info: Encoder
Data type: USINT

Description:
This status is reported by the HIPERFACE DSLŪ encoder. More information can be found in the encoder data sheet or the HIPERFACE DSLŪ specification.
Excerpt from the HIPERFACE DSLŪ specification for encoder status 0 (ENC_ST0, Adresse 40h) bit 5:
The Vector Length of the sampled and measured Sin-Cos signals has exceeded its boundaries.
Possible causes: HW or supply faults, mechanical shocks.

Reaction:
See error number 7030.

Cause/Remedy:
See encoder data sheet or HIPERFACE DSLŪ specification.
Excerpt from the HIPERFACE DSLŪ specification:
When this error occurs, the IP Core advances the fast position in linear fashion, by turning its estimator on (estimator_on = 1), until valid values are present again.
Dependent upon the application, one or more vector length errors in succession can be tolerated.
The tolerable number of errors can be determined from a calculation of the maximum deviations in each occurring error.
Recommendation: monitor (count) the occurrence of this error.
If the maximum tolerable number of errors is exceeded, the drive system must be placed in a safe state, meaning a critical severity.
If necessary, the safe position can be used as an alternative to position measurement, if this error arises for the fast position.
In this case the significantly slower refresh cycle of the safe position must be considered.
If the error persists, there is probably a general hardware or mechanical failure. Inform customer service.
