Error and Maintenance
14
0 Overcurrent
The current flowing through the 
converter exceeded the specified 
value.
• The Servo Drive is faulty (faulty 
circuit, faulty IGBT part, etc.).
• The Servomotor cable is short-
circuited between phases U, V, 
and W.
• The Servomotor cable is ground-
faulted.
• Motor windings are burned out.
• The Servomotor wiring contacts 
are faulty.
• The relay for the dynamic brake 
has been welded due to frequent 
servo ON/OFF operations.
• The Servomotor is not suitable for 
the Servo Drive.
• The command input timing is the 
same as or earlier than the Servo 
ON timing.
• The resistance of the connected 
External Regeneration Resistor is 
less than the minimum allowable 
value.
• Disconnect the Servomotor cable, 
and turn ON the servo. If the 
problem immediately occurs, 
replace the Servo Drive with a new 
one.
• Check to see if the Servomotor 
cable is short-circuited between 
phases U, V and W by checking for 
loose wire strands on the 
connector lead. Connect the 
Servomotor cable correctly.
• Check the insulation resistance 
between phases U, V, and W of the 
Servomotor cable and the 
grounding wire of the Servomotor. 
If the insulation is faulty, replace 
the Servomotor.
• Check the balance between the 
resistance of each wire of the 
Servomotor. If resistance is 
unbalanced, replace the 
Servomotor.
• Check for missing connector pins 
in Servomotor connections U, V, 
and W. If any loose or missing 
connector pins are found, secure 
them firmly.
• Replace the Servo Drive. Do not 
turn the servo ON for 3 minutes 
after using the dynamic brake.
• Check model (capacity) of the 
Servomotor and the Servo Drive on 
the nameplates. Replace the 
Servomotor with a Servomotor that 
matches the Servo Drive.
• Wait at least 100 ms after the servo 
has been turned ON, then input 
commands.
• Connect an External Regeneration 
Resistor whose resistance is more 
than the minimum allowable value.
1 IPM error
15 0 Servo Drive overheat
The temperature of the Servo Drive 
radiator or power elements exceeded 
the specified value.
• The ambient temperature of the 
Servo Drive exceeded the 
specified value.
• Overload
• Improve the ambient temperature 
and the cooling conditions of the 
Servo Drive.
• Increase the capacities of the 
Servo Drive and the Servomotor. 
Set longer acceleration and 
deceleration times. Reduce the 
load.
