SOFT PHASE ALARM(EXT)

What does 384 mean?

This alarm on Fanuc Series 0i-D/0i Mate-D indicates a position data alarm from a separate (external) detector. Causes typically include detector failure, environmental contamination, or issues with its mounting or cabling.

• Internal failure of the external detector affecting position data accuracy.
• Environmental contamination (e.g., cutting fluid, dust) affecting the detector's operation.
• Mechanical misalignment or instability of the external detector.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Inspect the external detector for signs of environmental contamination (e.g., cutting fluid, dust) that could interfere with its operation.

2. 2

   Verify the mechanical integrity and proper alignment of the external detector.

3. 3

   Check the communication cable from the external detector to the SDU for any damage, loose connections, or improper shielding.

4. 4

   If the alarm persists after thorough inspection and cabling checks, replace the external detector unit.
