08
Regeneration Excess Alarm
Fanuc · Alpha i Series AC Servo Motor and Spindle
What does 08 mean?
This alarm may be generated in the αi PSR when the spindle decelerates, particularly if a regenerative discharge unit with a resistance of 16Ω is used with a spindle motor having a maximum output of 5 kW or more. This indicates that the unit is not effectively dissipating regenerative energy.
Common Causes
- Excessive regenerative energy during deceleration exceeds system limits.
- Regenerative braking torque too high for controller's capacity.
- Parameter settings for regeneration threshold (e.g., P3-01) are too low.
- Faulty regenerative braking resistor system unable to dissipate excess energy.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Verify the maximum output of the spindle motor. If it is 5 kW or more, proceed to the next step.
- 2
Check the resistance of the installed regenerative discharge unit. If it is 16Ω, replace it with an 8Ω regenerative discharge unit.
