We have one that just started this out of the blue. It would intermittently give us the 683 fault when the car was at the top terminal, it would make a few runs with no fault and then fault comes back. Now counterweights are on buffers, and it will not move. Keep getting 683. Has an Accord drive. I am hesitant to remove counterweights to off set the load. Any suggestions?

Fault Description:

Encoder Memory Address Fault - After reset, the encoder interface failed to accept the configuration value written at initialization.

Possible Causes:

The wiring

The interface board

The encoder

That odd, IMS is saying excessive torque fault

PM me an email.

Must have had one beer too many last night. It is a 663 Fault not a 683 Fault

If I remember right, I had one logging the 663 torque limit fault on a tac 5004 that was on westinghouse 38 machines and it turned out to be the brakes not lifting on one side

Close this one out. E Brake not picking fully. Odd that it would only fault out at the top floor.

Thanks for the help.

Using a lot of torque already to get an empty car from top floor to pull the counterweight out of the pit...sorry I missed the top floor statement in the original post. I had a brake do the same thing...top floor going down, empty...
