How to fix the link if it is not established on Omron Servo Drives?
- Y
  yloveSep 9, 2025
  If the link is not established, it could be due to a broken Ethernet cable or using the wrong type of cable. Replace the cable to resolve this. Alternatively, a connector on the Ethernet cable used for EtherCAT communications may be disconnected or faulty. Reconnect the connector, ensuring it is properly mated. A failed slave within the EtherCAT network configuration can also cause this issue, so consider replacing the slave.

What to do if I see a watchdog timer error on my Omron CK5M-CPU 1 Controller?
- A
  Adam JacksonAug 23, 2025
  If the Omron Controller displays a watchdog timer error, check for noise intrusion in the FG, power supply, and communication lines, and apply appropriate countermeasures. If a momentary power interruption occurred, ensure a stable power supply with the rated voltage and frequency. If the issue persists, the Motion Controller may need to be replaced.

What to do if EtherCAT communications do not start on Omron Controller?
- D
  Dillon HoAug 25, 2025
  If EtherCAT communications don't start on your Omron Controller, first, use the Terminal pane to run the command ECAT[0].Enable=1. Also, verify that the EtherCAT network configuration in the Controller matches the physical network configuration. Check that the Ethernet cable is correctly connected. Finally, examine the ECAT[0].error value for any error indications.

  Mark ChanAug 27, 2025
  If the link is not established on your Omron Controller, the Ethernet cable might be broken or not the specified type. Replace the cable if necessary. Also, check if a connector on the Ethernet cable used for EtherCAT communications is disconnected or faulty; reconnect it securely. A failed slave within the EtherCAT network can also cause this issue; consider replacing the slave.

Why does a synchronization error occur at a slave on Omron Controller?
- J
  Jeffery RodriguezAug 27, 2025
  A synchronization error at a slave on your Omron Controller can occur if the distribution clock is incorrectly set. Review the settings. Also, if the servo task processing time exceeds the set period, review the program or servo frequency to adjust it so the processing time does not exceed the period.

How to fix a synchronization error at a slave on Omron Machine Vision Systems?
- M
  Marvin LesterSep 15, 2025
  If a synchronization error occurs at a slave in your Omron Machine Vision Systems, it may be due to incorrect distribution clock settings. Review the settings as described in section 6.4.2 Distributed Clock Setup. Alternatively, the servo task processing time might be exceeding the set period. In this case, review the program or servo frequency to adjust it so that the processing time stays within the defined period.

  Dr. Benjamin ObrienSep 12, 2025
  A synchronization error at a slave can occur because the distribution clock is not set correctly. Review the settings. Also, the servo task processing time might exceed the set period. In this case, review the program or servo frequency to adjust it, ensuring that the servo task processing time does not exceed the period.

Why does a synchronization error occur at a slave in Omron Servo Drives?
- F
  Frederick HuberSep 7, 2025
  A synchronization error at a slave may occur if the distribution clock is not set correctly, so review the settings. Another potential cause is the servo task processing time exceeding the set period; in this case, review the program or servo frequency to adjust it, ensuring the servo task processing time does not exceed the period.

What to do if EtherCAT communications do not start on Omron Servo Drives?
- F
  fordchristinaSep 4, 2025
  If EtherCAT communications do not start, several factors could be at play. First, verify that ECAT[0].Enable is set to 1 by running the ECAT[0].Enable=1 command from the Terminal pane. Also, ensure that the EtherCAT network configuration in the Controller matches the physical network configuration. Check that the Ethernet cable is correctly connected. Finally, examine the ECAT[0].error value for any error indications.
