F32136Encoder 2: Error when determining multiturn information

What it means

F32136 means that Encoder 2 has identified a fault while determining the multiturn position. The encoder reports its condition bit by bit in an internal status/fault word, and the drive triggers this fault as soon as one of the fault-triggering bits of that word is set; the other bits are only status displays. The complete status/fault word is stored as the fault value and can be read in binary in r0949. On G130 and G150 the manual titles the code "Encoder 2: Error when determining multiturn information", on S120 and S150 "Encoder 2: Fault when determining the position (multiturn)" — the condition described is the same.

Why it appears

  • Encoder 2 has identified a position determination fault (multiturn) and signals this through its internal status/fault word; the set bits in the fault value identify the concrete condition.
  • The multiturn bits 26 to 30 (multiturn position 1, multiturn position 2, multiturn system, multiturn power down, multiturn overflow/underflow) refer to the related fault F3x136 (x = 1, 2, 3).
  • Bit 15 (internal communication error) refers to F3x110 (x = 1, 2, 3); for EnDat 2.2 encoders the bits 6 to 9 can additionally report a hardware fault or overcurrent/overvoltage of the EnDat supply, or that the encoder was withdrawn when not in the parked state.
  • Further triggering bits refer to the singleturn fault F3x135 or to the temperature fault F3x405 (x = 1, 2, 3); the remaining bits of the word are status displays only.

What to check

  1. Read the fault value in r0949 and interpret it in binary — the drive has stored the encoder's complete status/fault word there.
  2. Match the set bits against the bit list below. The cross-references in brackets name the related fault code (F3x110, F3x135, F3x136, F3x405 with x = 1, 2, 3) whose description gives the detailed cause.
  3. Replace the encoder if necessary.
  4. If an EnDat 2.2 encoder was removed when not in the "Park" state: insert it again and then carry out a POWER ON (switch-off/switch-on) — this is necessary to acknowledge the fault.

Parameters the manual names

  • r0949 — fault value: read it in binary to see which status bits of Encoder 2 triggered F32136.

Acknowledging and restarting

Once the encoder condition reported in the fault value has been cleared, acknowledge the fault. The manual adds one special case for EnDat 2.2 encoders: An EnDat 2.2 encoder may only be removed and inserted in the "Park" state. If such an encoder was removed while not in the "Park" state, then after inserting the encoder again a POWER ON (switch-off/switch-on) is necessary to acknowledge the fault.

What differs between the drive families

Straight from the manuals' own fields — F32136 is not described identically everywhere.

Questions technicians ask

What does F32136 mean on a SINAMICS drive?

Encoder 2 reports a fault when determining the multiturn position. The encoder transmits its condition as an internal status/fault word, and the drive raises F32136 as soon as one of the fault-triggering bits of that word is set.

How do I find the exact cause of F32136?

Read the fault value in r0949 and interpret it in binary — each set bit names one condition. Bits 26 to 30 refer to the multiturn fault F3x136, bit 15 to an internal communication error (F3x110), the remaining triggering bits to F3x135 or F3x405 (x = 1, 2, 3); replace the encoder if necessary.

Do the two designations per bit apply to different encoders?

Yes. The first designation of each bit is valid for DRIVE-CLiQ encoders, the second for EnDat 2.2 encoders.

Why can F32136 not be acknowledged after I reinserted my EnDat encoder?

An EnDat 2.2 encoder may only be removed and inserted in the "Park" state. If it was removed outside this state, a POWER ON (switch-off/switch-on) is required after reinserting it before the fault can be acknowledged.
