Maintenance, Inspections, and Troubleshooting
A.bF1:
System Alarm 1
A SERVOPACK fault occurred. −
Restart the SERVOPACK. If the 
alarm still occurs, the SERVO-
PACK may be faulty. Replace the 
SERVOPACK.
A.bF2:
System Alarm 2
A SERVOPACK fault occurred. −
Restart the SERVOPACK. If the 
alarm still occurs, the SERVO-
PACK may be faulty. Replace the 
SERVOPACK.
A.bF3
:
System Alarm 3
A SERVOPACK fault occurred. −
Restart the SERVOPACK. If the 
alarm still occurs, the SERVO-
PACK may be faulty. Replace the 
SERVOPACK.
A.bF4:
System Alarm 4
A SERVOPACK fault occurred. −
Restart the SERVOPACK. If the 
alarm still occurs, the SERVO-
PACK may be faulty. Replace the 
SERVOPACK.
A.C10:
Servo Overrun 
Detected
(Detected when the 
servomotor power is 
ON.)
The order of phases U, V, and W 
in the servomotor wiring is incor-
rect.
Check the motor wiring.
Confirm that the servomotor is cor-
rectly wired.
An encoder fault occurred. −
If the alarm still occurs after restart-
ing the SERVOPACK, even though 
the servomotor is correctly wired, 
the servomotor may be faulty. 
Replace the servomotor.
A SERVOPACK fault occurred. −
Restart the SERVOPACK. If the 
alarm still occurs, the SERVO-
PACK may be faulty. Replace the 
SERVOPACK.
A.C80:
Absolute Encoder 
Clear Error and Multi-
turn Limit Setting Error
An encoder fault occurred. −
Restart the SERVOPACK. If the 
alarm still occurs, the servomotor 
may be faulty. Replace the servo-
motor.
A.C90:
Encoder 
Communications Error
Contact fault of connector or 
incorrect wiring for encoder 
cable.
Check the connector contact status 
for encoder cable.
Re-insert the connectors and con-
firm that the encoder is correctly 
wired.
Cable disconnection for encoder 
cable or short-circuit.
Or, incorrect cable impedance.
Check the encoder cable.
Use the cables with the specified 
rating.
Corrosion caused by improper 
temperature, humidity, or gas, 
short-circuit caused by intrusion 
of water drops or cutting oil, or 
connector contact fault caused by 
vibration.
Check the operating environment.
Improve the operating environmen-
tal conditions, and replace the cable. 
If the alarm still occurs, replace the 
SERVOPACK.
Malfunction caused by noise 
interference.
−
Correct the wiring around the 
encoder (e.g., grounding).
A.C91:
Encoder 
Communications 
Position Data Error
Noise interference occurred on 
the I/O signal line because the 
encoder cable is bent and the 
sheath is damaged.
Check the encoder cable and con-
nector.
Confirm that there is no problem 
with the cable layout.
The encoder cable is bundled 
with a high-current line or near a 
high-current line.
Check the cable layout for encoder 
cable.
Confirm that there is no surge volt-
age on the cables.
The FG potential varies because 
of influence from machines on 
the servomotor side, such as the 
welder.
Check the cable layout for encoder 
cable.
Properly ground the machines to 
separate from the encoder FG.
