Siemens alarm 132*: Closed-loop system hardware axis
SINUMERIK 840C legacy alarm · Siemens 840C
What it means
The measuring-circuit difference signals are out of phase, have an earth fault or are missing completely, so position feedback hardware has failed. Check connector seating, use the measuring-circuit short-circuit connector to test the group, inspect difference signals and MD 200*/384* settings; replace encoder if needed. Cleared only by POWER ON.
Likely causes
- Encoder/scale cable disconnected or damaged
- Earth fault in measuring-circuit lines
- Failed pulse encoder or EXE evaluation electronics
Triage note: * suffix = axis index; cleared only by POWER ON
