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 voltage 
between P and N of the converter, 
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 CX-
Drive. 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 check for 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 install a thermal switch when setting the
Regeneration Resistor Selection (Pn016) to 2. Otherwise,
the Regeneration Resistor will not be protected, may
generate excessive heat, and may be burnt.
1 Regeneration Tr error The Servo Drive regeneration drive Tr 
is faulty.
Replace the Servo Drive.
21 0 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.
1 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 of 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 encoder cable 
correctly.
