Troubleshooting
The Servomotor 
does not oper-
ate even when a 
command is 
given.
The RUN signal is OFF. Check the RUN signal’s ON and 
OFF operation.
Input the RUN signal.
Correct the wiring.
The deviation counter 
reset input (ECRST) is 
ON.
Check the ON/OFF status of the 
ECRST signal.
Turn OFF the ECRST sig-
nal.
Correct the wiring.
Pn200.1 (deviation counter reset) 
setting is incorrect.
Reset Pn200.1 to match the 
Controller.
An error occurred with 
the RESET (alarm reset) 
signal ON.
Check the ON/OFF status of the 
RESET signal.
Turn the RESET signal OFF 
and take measures accord-
ing to the alarm display.
Function switch settings 
are incorrect.
Check function switch 6 (switch/
parameter setting).
If using function switch 3 
(command pulse input set-
ting), turn OFF switch 6.
If using parameter Pn200.0, 
turn ON switch 6.
Function switch 3 (com-
mand pulse input) setting 
is incorrect. (When func-
tion switches are being 
used.)
Check the Controller’s command 
pulse type and the Servo Driver’s 
command pulse mode.
Set the mode to match the 
Controller’s command pulse 
type.
Pn200.0 (command 
pulse mode) setting is 
incorrect. (When param-
eter setting is being 
used.)
Check the Controller’s command 
pulse type and the Servo Driver’s 
command pulse mode.
Set the mode to match the 
Controller’s command pulse 
type.
Servomotor power lines 
are incorrectly wired.
Check Servomotor power lines. Rewire correctly.
Command pulse is incor-
rectly wired.
Check the command pulse wiring. Rewire correctly.
Check the command pulse volt-
age.
Connect a resistor match-
ing the voltage.
The Servomotor 
operates 
momentarily, but 
then it does not 
operate.
The Servomotor power 
lines or encoder lines are 
wired incorrectly.
Check the Servomotor power line 
U, V, and W phases, and the 
encoder line wiring.
Correct the wiring.
The command pulse is 
more than 250 kpps.
Check the Controller’s command 
pulse frequency.
Reset the command pulse 
to 250 kpps max.
Servomotor 
operation is 
unstable.
The Servomotor power 
lines or encoder lines are 
wired incorrectly.
Check the Servomotor power line 
U, V, and W phases, and the 
encoder line wiring.
Correct the wiring.
There are eccentricities 
or looseness in the cou-
pling connecting the Ser-
vomotor shaft and the 
mechanical system, or 
there are load torque 
fluctuations according to 
how the pulley gears are 
engaging.
Check the machinery.
Try operating the Servomotor with-
out a load.
Adjust the machinery.
Gain is wrong. --- Use autotuning.
Adjust the gain manually.
