A speed count abnormal alarm occurred on the built-in Pulsecoder. This indicates an issue with the revolution count data or speed detection from the Pulsecoder.
ABNORMAL CLOCK(INT)
A clock alarm occurred on the built-in Pulsecoder. This points to a problem with the internal clock or timing synchronization of the Pulsecoder.
SOFT PHASE ALARM(INT)
The digital servo software detected an abnormality on the built-in Pulsecoder related to its phase. This is a software-detected issue with the Pulsecoder's feedback.
BROKEN LED(INT)
The digital servo software detected abnormal data from the built-in Pulsecoder, specifically indicating a broken LED. This suggests an internal optical component failure within the Pulsecoder.
PULSE MISS(INT)
A pulse error occurred on the built-in Pulsecoder, indicating that expected pulses were not detected. This impacts the accuracy of position feedback from the internal encoder.
COUNT MISS(INT)
A count error occurred on the built-in Pulsecoder, meaning pulses were missed during counting. This directly affects the accuracy of position tracking by the internal encoder.
SERIAL DATA ERROR(INT)
Communications data could not be received from the built-in Pulsecoder. This indicates a failure in the serial communication link from the internal encoder to the servo system.
DATA TRANS. ERROR(INT)
A CRC error or stop bit error occurred in the communications data from the built-in Pulsecoder. This signifies data corruption or an improper termination in the serial communication from the internal encoder.
BROKEN LED(EXT)
A separate detector error was reported, indicating a broken LED. This suggests an optical component failure within the external detector.
ABNORMAL PHASE (EXT)
An abnormal alarm in the position data occurred on the separate linear scale. This indicates an issue with the phase signal generation or detection from the external linear scale.
COUNT MISS(EXT)
A count error occurred on the separate detector, indicating that pulses were missed during counting. This directly affects the accuracy of position tracking by the external detector.
PULSE MISS(EXT)
A pulse error occurred on the separate detector, indicating that expected pulses were not detected. This impacts the accuracy of position feedback from the external detector.
SOFT PHASE ALARM(EXT)
The digital servo software detected abnormal data on the separate detector, specifically related to its phase. This is a software-detected issue with the external detector's feedback.
SERIAL DATA ERROR(EXT)
Communications data could not be received from the separate detector. This indicates a failure in the serial communication link from the external detector to the servo system.
DATA TRANS. ERROR(EXT)
A CRC error or stop bit error occurred in the communications data from the standalone detector. This signifies data corruption or an improper termination in the serial communication from the external detector.
EXCESS ERROR (STOP:SV)
The servo detected that the positional deviation during stopping exceeded the parameter (No. 1839, No.1842) setting value. This indicates a failure of the axis to hold its commanded stop position within tolerance, potentially due to mechanical issues or incorrect tuning.
EXCESS ERROR (MOVE:SV)
The servo detected that the positional deviation during traveling exceeded the parameter (No. 1838, No.1841) setting value. This indicates the axis is not accurately tracking its commanded trajectory during motion, suggesting a problem with motor power, feedback, or mechanical resistance.
ILLEGAL SPEED CMD. (SV)
The servo detected that the commanded speed on the axis exceeded the safety speed (parameter No. 13821 to 13824, No. 13826 to 13829) during safety monitoring (when the safety check request signal (*VLDVx) is 0). This suggests an unsafe operating speed was commanded or detected, posing a potential safety risk.
ILLEGAL MACHINE POS.(SV)
The servo detected that the machine position on the axis is not within the safety area (parameter No.13831 to 13838) during safety monitoring (when the safety check request signal (*VLDVx) is 0). This indicates the axis moved outside its defined safe operating envelope after the machine reference position was established, which can lead to collisions or unsafe conditions.
ILLEGAL AXIS DATA (SV)
The servo detected an error during axis data transfer. This can occur after setting axis numbers for the servo amplifier, indicating a configuration mismatch, or it might point to an internal amplifier issue requiring replacement.
SAFETY PARAM ERROR(SV)
An error was detected by the servo's safety parameter check function. This indicates a potential issue with the integrity or validity of safety-related parameters within the servo system, which could compromise machine safety.
SAFETY FUNCTION ERROR (SV)
An error occurred in the servo's safety functions. This can be due to inexecution of servo software safety functions, a mismatch between servo software and CNC results for safety functions, or an error in a servo CPU or RAM test, indicating a critical safety system failure.
SELF TEST OVER TIME
The MCC off Test was not completed within the time specified by parameter No. 1946. This indicates a potential issue with the MCC (Motor Contactor) contact operation, its wiring, or an inappropriately set test time.
Safety Speed Limit Exceeded
This alarm is generated when an axis exceeds its configured safety speed limit, as monitored by the Dual Check Safety function. This occurs if the Monitoring Result signal (RSVx) for that axis is "0" and the Safety Check request signal (*VLDVx) is also "0". This condition indicates a potential overspeed situation.
Energy Supply Stop (ECM)
A potential difference across a capacitor module is more than 300V, indicating an energy supply issue or abnormal voltage condition.
Watchdog Alarm 1 Issued
A watchdog alarm 1 was issued, indicating a system malfunction where the internal watchdog timer detected a deviation from expected operation. This is typically a severe internal error, pointing to a critical processor or software issue.
Watchdog Alarm 2 Issued
A watchdog alarm 2 was issued, indicating a system malfunction where the internal watchdog timer detected a deviation from expected operation. This is typically a severe internal error, pointing to a critical processor or software issue.
Watchdog Alarm 3 Issued
A watchdog alarm 3 was issued, indicating a system malfunction where the internal watchdog timer detected a deviation from expected operation. This is typically a severe internal error, pointing to a critical processor or software issue.
