E-17Â Keypad Transmission Error fault in Toshiba drive
E-17 Keypad Transmission Error fault in Toshiba drive
Description E-17 is a specific communication breakdown between the main CPU and the Keypad (Panel). Unlike "OPE" (Incompatible Keypad), E-17 usually means the data stream is being corrupted by noise or a bad contact while operation is in progress. The drive stops because it can no longer update the display or read the Stop button status reliability. Causes
1. Interference: The remote keypad cable is unshielded and running next to the motor power cables.
2. Cable Length: The ethernet/RJ45 cable used for the remote keypad is too long (standard limit is often 3-5 meters without a booster).
3. Port Damage: The socket on the drive faceplate has broken solder joints from frequent plugging/unplugging. Solution If using a remote keypad, inspect the cable. Use a shielded CAT5e cable. Ensure the shield is grounded. Reroute the cable away from high voltage lines.
If the keypad is mounted directly on the drive, remove it and clean the gold contacts with a pencil eraser or contact cleaner. Inspect the female socket on the drive for bent pins.
If E-17 occurs on power-up, it might be a CPU board failure. Try booting without the keypad (if the drive model supports blindly running via terminals).
