Over-voltage of Capacitor Module (ECM)
Fanuc · Alpha i Series AC Servo Motor and Spindle
What does 7 mean?
The voltage across the Capacitor Module of the ECM has exceeded its maximum safe operating voltage. This indicates an issue with charge control or excessive regenerative energy.
Common Causes
- The voltage across the capacitor module exceeds its maximum rated voltage.
- External voltage surge applied to the capacitor module.
- Faulty capacitor module components (e.g., series elements).
- Incorrect operation of balancing circuits within the module.
- Overcharging of the capacitor bank.
