11. TROUBLESHOOTING
Display Name Definition Cause Action
1. Machine struck something. 1. Review operation pattern.
2. Install limit switches.
2. Wrong connection of servo motor.
Servo amplifier's output terminals
U, V, W do not match servo motor's
input terminals U, V, W.
Connect correctly.
3. Servo system is instable and
hunting.
1. Repeat acceleration/deceleration to
execute auto tuning.
2. Change auto tuning response setting.
3. Set auto tuning to OFF and make gain
adjustment manually.
AL.51 Overload 2 Machine collision or
the like caused max.
For the time of the
alarm occurrence,
refer to the section
13.1.
4. Encoder faulty.
Checking method
When the servo motor shaft is
rotated with the servo off, the
cumulative feedback pulses do
not vary in proportion to the
rotary angle of the shaft but the
indication skips or returns midway.
Change the servo motor.
1. Acceleration/deceleration time
constant is too small.
Increase the acceleration/deceleration
time constant.
2. Internal torque limit 1 (parameter
No.28) is too small.
Increase the torque limit value.
3. Motor cannot be started due to
torque shortage caused by power
supply voltage drop.
1. Review the power supply capacity.
2. Use servo motor which provides larger
output.
4. Position control gain 1 (parameter
No.7) value is small.
Increase set value and adjust to ensure
proper operation.
5. Servo motor shaft was rotated by
external force.
1. When torque is limited, increase the
limit value.
2. Reduce load.
3. Use servo motor that provides larger
output.
6. Machine struck something. 1. Review operation pattern.
2. Install limit switches.
7. Encoder faulty Change the servo motor.
AL.52 Error excessive The difference
between the model
position and the
actual servo motor
position exceeds 2.5
rotations. (Refer to
the function block
diagram in section
1.1.1)
8. Wrong connection of servo motor.
Servo amplifier's output terminals
U, V, W do not match servo motor's
input terminals U, V, W.
Connect correctly.
AL.61 Operation
alarm
"1" or more has been
set to auxiliary
function of point
table No. 31.
Setting mistake of auxiliary function
of point table No. 31.
Set "0" to auxiliary function of point table
No. 31.
1. Communication cable breakage. Repair or change communication cable
2. Communication cycle longer than
parameter No. 23 setting.
Set correct value in parameter.
AL.8A Serial
communication
time-out error
RS-232C or RS-422
communication
stopped for longer
than the time set in
parameter No.23.
3. Wrong protocol. Correct protocol.
1. Communication cable fault
(Open cable or short circuit)
Repair or change the cable. AL.8E Serial
communication
error
Serial
communication
error occurred
between servo
amplifier and
communication
device (e.g. personal
computer).
2. Communication device (e.g.
personal computer) faulty
Change the communication device (e.g.
personal computer).
88888 Watchdog CPU, parts faulty
Fault of parts in servo amplifier
Checking method
Alarm (88888) occurs if power is
switched on after disconnection
of all cables but the control
circuit power supply cables.
Change servo amplifier.
