11.  Alarm  and  Warning 
 
— 11-21 — 
11.3.22.  Warning P0: Over Heat 
 The warning P0 occurs when temperature of the heat sink of the Driver Unit or the external regeneration   
resistor has exceeded the threshold.   
  This warning occurs when the continual current flow to the external regeneration resistor 
elapsed over a period of 1 second due to excessive regeneration energy. (P0-1) 
Table 11-31: Cause and remedy for the warning P0   
Terminals SE+ and SE– of the 
connector CN4 (Motor connector) 
remain open even the external 
regeneration resistor is not in use.   
  Short the terminal SE+ and SE– of the connector CN4 if the external   
regeneration resistor is not used.   
Ambient temperature of the Driver 
Unit has exceeded 50[[°C]].   
  Confirm if the ambient temperature is less than 50[[°C]].   
  Review the environment the Driver unit is installed.   
The power amplifier board has 
applied the current to the Motor for 
long enough to overheat its heat 
sink exceeding 90[[°C]].   
  Check  if  excessive  friction  force is  applied  due  to  interference  with  the 
surrounding mechanism or the Motor is locked.   
  Reduce the load moment of inertia.   
  Review the rate of operating time and idle time. (Increase idle time.)   
  Reduce the parameter settings of acceleration and deceleration.   
In case of the pulse train command positioning, reduce those of the master 
controller. 
  Lower the Motor velocity.   
Excessive duty cycle of operation 
Caused vibration due to poor tuning 
of servo parameters.   
Defective Cable, Motor or Driver 
Unit 
  Check the Motor condition referring to “Appendix 2: How to Check Motor 
Condition”. Replace the cable or the Motor if necessary.   
  If above measures do not work, the Driver Unit may be defective. Replace it 
referring  to  “Appendix  5:  Procedure  for  Replacing  Driver  Unit  Model 
EDD”. 
(1)  If the thermo sensor remains ON, the warning occurs again when the power is turned on.   
11.3.23.  Alarm P1: Main Power Overvoltage 
 The Driver Unit checks the voltage in the power amplifier and gives an alarm when it exceeds the specified 
value.   
  Following are the cause of the increase in the voltage of power amplifier: the riding main power 
voltage supplied externally and the rising voltage caused by the regeneration energy 
Table 11-32:    Cause and remedy for the alarm P1   
Commutation voltage of the main power 
has exceeded + 390 [V] (correspond to 
input 275 [VAC] volts) due to the higher 
voltage than the specification is applied. 
  Immediately shut down the main power.   
  Confirm the main power voltage and turn on the power again.   
High moment of inertia of the load is 
decelerated with extremely high 
deceleration and resulted in the same 
situation above.   
  Immediately shut off the main power.   
  Reduce the moment of inertia.   
  Reduce the settings of acceleration and deceleration.   
  Review the use of an external regeneration resistor. Refer to “Appendix 6: 
Regeneration Resistor.”   
Defective Cable, Motor or Driver Unit. 
  Check  the  Motor  and the  Cable referring  to  “Appendix  2:  how to  Check 
Motor Condition” and replace them if necessary.   
  If the above measures do not work, the Driver Unit may be defective. 
Replace it referring to “Appendix 5: Procedure for Replacing Driver Unit 
Model EDD”.
