 : DSP communication error 
Potential Cause  Checking Method  Corrective Actions 
Maybe the hardware is 
damaged. 
Check and reset control power 
If the error does not clear after 
resetting the power supply, please 
contact your distributor for

Servo Drive Fault Messages (ASDA-A+ Series Only) 
 : "Mismatch" error 
Potential Cause  Checking Method  Corrective Actions 
The type of the servo 
motor is incorrect.  
Check if the servo drive and servo motor are 
not correctly matched for size (power rating). 
Repair or replace the servo drive or 
the servo motor. 
 : Encoder error (Position detector fault) 
Potential Cause  Checking Method  Corrective Actions 
Maybe the Encoder is 
damaged. 
If the error does not clear after resetting the power supply, please contact your 
distributor for assistance or contact with Delta.  
 : Encoder error (Position detector fault) 
Potential Cause  Checking Method  Corrective Actions 
The servo drive 
automatically detect the 
servo motor is in error. 
1.  Check if the servo motor is properly 
grounded. 
2.  Check if the encoder signal cables are 
placed in separate conduits from the cables 
connected to R, S, T and U, V, W terminals 
to prevent the interference. 
3.  Check if the shielded cables are used when 
performing Encoder wiring. 
1.  Please connect the grounding 
(green color) of U, V, W 
terminal to the heatsink of the 
servo drive. 
2.  Ensure that the encoder signal 
cables are placed in separate 
conduits from the cables 
connected to R, S, T and U, V, 
W terminals to prevent the 
interference. 
3.  Please use shielded cables for 
Encoder wiring.
