Error and Maintenance

0 Regeneration overload
The regenerative energy exceeds the 
processing capacity of the 
Regeneration Resistor.
• The regenerative energy during 
deceleration caused by a large 
load inertia increased the converter 
voltage, and then insufficient 
energy absorption by the 
Regeneration Resistor further 
increased the voltage.
• The Servomotor rotation speed is 
too high to absorb the regenerative 
energy within the specified 
deceleration time.
• The operating limit of the external 
resistor is limited to a 10% duty.
Check the load rate of the 
Regeneration Resistor through 
communications. This Regeneration 
Resistor cannot be used for 
continuous regenerative braking.
• Check the operation pattern 
(speed monitor). Check the load 
rate of the Regeneration Resistor 
and check for the excessive 
regeneration warning display. 
Increase the capacities of the 
Servo Drive and the Servomotor, 
and lengthen the deceleration time. 
Use an External Regeneration 
Resistor.
• Check the operation pattern 
(speed monitor). Check the load 
rate of the Regeneration Resistor 
and the excessive regeneration 
warning display. Increase the 
capacities of the Servo Drive and 
the Servomotor, and lengthen the 
deceleration time. Reduce the 
Servomotor rotation speed. Use an 
External Regeneration Resistor.
• Set the Regeneration Resistor 
Selection (Pn016) to 2.
Precautions for Correct Use
Always provide a temperature fuse or other protective measure when setting 
the Regeneration Resistor Selection (Pn016) to 2. Otherwise, the 
Regeneration Resistor will not be protected, generate excessive heat, and be 
burnt.
1 Regeneration Tr error
The Servo Drive regeneration drive Tr 
is faulty.
Replace the Servo Drive.

Encoder
communications
disconnection error
A disconnection was detected 
because communications between 
the encoder and the Servo Drive were 
stopped more frequently than the 
specified value.
Wire the encoder correctly as shown 
in the wiring diagram. Correct the 
connector pin connections.

Encoder 
communications error
There was a communications error in 
data from the encoder. There was a 
data error mainly due to noise. The 
encode cable is connected, but a 
communications data error occurred.
• Provide the required encoder 
power supply voltage 5 VDC 5% 
(4.75 to 5.25 V). Be careful 
especially when the encode cable 
is long.
• If the Servomotor cable and the 
encoder cable are bundled 
together, separate them.
• Connect the shield to FG.

Encoder
communications data
error
No communications error occurred 
with the data from the encoder, but 
there is an error in the contents of the 
data. There was a data error mainly 
due to noise. The encode cable is 
connected, but a communications 
data error occurred.
• Provide the required encoder 
power supply voltage 5 VDC 5% 
(4.75 to 5.25 V). Be careful 
especially when the encode cable 
is long.
• If the Servomotor cable and the 
encoder cable are bundled 
together, separate them.
• Connect the shield to FG.
