Chapter 12 Absolute System   ASDA-A2 
Revision February, 2017     12-33 
12.7.1  Causes and Corrective Actions 
AL028: Encoder voltage error or the internal of the encoder is in error 
Causes  Checking Method  Corrective Actions 
Battery voltage is too 
high 
1.  Check if the charging circuit 
exists in the servo drive. 
2.  Check if the battery is correctly 
installed  
According to the procedure of Over 
voltage to check. When corrective 
actions are done, AL.028 will be 
cleared automatically. 
The internal encoder is in 
error. 
1. Check if it is the absolute type 
encoder. 
2. Check if the servo is properly 
grounded. 
3. Check if the encoder cable 
separates from the power supply 
or the high-current circuit to avoid 
the interference. 
4. Check if the shielding cables are 
used in the wiring of the encoder. 
1. If the situation is not improving, 
please send the drive back to the 
distributors or contact with Delta. 
2. Please connect the UVW 
connector (color green) to the 
heat sink of the servo drive. 
3. Please check if the encoder 
cable separates from the power 
supply or the high-current circuit. 
4. Please use shielding mesh. If the 
situation is not improving, please 
send the drive back to the 
distributors or contact with Delta. 
AL029: Gray code error 
Causes  Checking Method  Corrective Actions 
Absolute position is in 
error 
Re-power on to operate the motor and 
check if the alarm will occur again. 
If the alarm occurs again, 
please change the encoder. 
AL060: Absolute Position Lost 
Causes  Checking Method  Corrective Actions 
Battery under voltage 
Check if the voltage of the battery is lower 
than 2.8V. 
After change the battery, 
conduct homing procedure 
again. Please refer to the 
description of absolute 
coordinate initialization in 
Chapter 12. 
Change the battery 
when the power is 
OFF which is 
controlled by the 
servo drive 
Do no change or remove the battery when 
the power is OFF which is controlled by 
the servo drive. 
Conduct homing procedure 
again. Please refer to the 
description of absolute 
coordinate initialization in 
Chapter 12. 
After activating the 
absolute function, the 
absolute coordinate 
initialization has not 
been completed. 
1.  Install the battery. 
2.  Check the wiring between the battery 
pack and the power cable of the servo 
drive. 
3.  Check the wiring of the encoder. 
Conduct homing procedure. 
Please refer to the description 
of absolute coordinate 
initialization in Chapter 12. 
Bad connection of the 
battery power circuit  
1.  Check the wiring of the encoder. 
2.  Check the wiring between the battery 
pack and the power cable of the servo 
drive. 
Connect or repair the wiring of 
the battery so as to supply the 
power to the encoder. Conduct 
homing procedure again. 
Please refer to the description
