The F643 error code on a Indramat drive and control system indicates a problem with the travel switch. This could mean that the switch is faulty or out of calibration, or it could be a wiring issue. If possible, try recalibrating the switch and checking the wiring connections. If that doesn’t solve the problem, then the switch may need to be replaced.
