Hello, I am trying to understand generally what a "parity error" means. I searched on Google, but it's still over my head. Could someone dumb it down and explain what it means?
I had received this error on an Okuma drive, so we replaced the drive as the manual recommended to get back going. The alarm manual says "parity error has occurred in servo amplifier, replace amplifier".
My understanding is that the "parity" bit is there to check and make sure all the other bits are good in the memory. If for some reason, the parity bit is not good, then a parity error exists. My understanding is very vague, so I wanted someone to explain in more details, but in layman's terms.
Thanks! Have a great weekend!
