Description:
The Servo Amplifier/PLC Communication Fault alarm occurs when the PLC sends a message to the servo amplifier and the message
is not confirmed by the servo amplifier via a checksum or vice versa. This is generated if one of three conditions is not met:
1. The data sent did not match the data received.
2. After 10 seconds, no response from the Servo Amplifier.
3. On power up, the amplifier and PLC parameters do not match.
Solution:
• Verify that the CN3 connector is connected properly on the servo amplifier as well as on the PLC.
• Verify the 24VDC supply for the PLC. Any voltage fluctuation can result in poor performance of the PLC.
If the problem persists please contact LNS America, Inc. for further information.
