9.1.2 Troubleshooting of Alarms
If an error occurs in servo drives, an alarm display such as A.
 and CPF
 will appear on the panel dis-
play.
Refer to the following table to identify the cause of an alarm and the action to be taken.
Contact your Yaskawa representative if the problem cannot be solved by the described corrective action.

A.020:
Parameter Checksum 
Error 1
(The data of the internal 
parameter is incorrect.)
The power supply voltage sud-
denly dropped.
Measure the power supply voltage.
Set the power supply voltage within 
the specified range, and set Fn005 
to initialize the parameter.
The power supply went OFF 
while changing a parameter set-
ting.
Check the circumstances when the 
power supply went OFF.
Set Fn005 to initialize the parameter 
and then set the parameter again.
The number of times that parame-
ters were written exceeded the 
limit.
Check to see if the parameters were 
frequently changed through the host 
controller.
The multi-winding drive unit may 
be faulty. Replace the multi-wind-
ing drive unit. Correct the proce-
dure for writing parameters.
Malfunction caused by noise 
from the AC power supply or 
grounding line, static electricity 
noise, etc.
Turn the power supply ON and OFF 
several times. If the alarm still 
occurs, there may be noise interfer-
ence.
Take countermeasures against 
noise.
Gas, water drops, or cutting oil 
entered the multi-winding drive 
unit and caused internal compo-
nents to fail.
Check the installation conditions.
The multi-winding drive unit may 
be faulty. Replace the multi-wind-
ing drive unit.
A fault occurred in the multi-
winding drive unit.
Turn the power supply ON and OFF 
several times. If the alarm still 
occurs, the multi-winding drive unit 
may be faulty.
The multi-winding drive unit may 
be faulty. Replace the multi-wind-
ing drive unit.
A.021:
Parameter Format 
Error 1
(The data type of the 
internal parameter is 
incorrect.)
The software version of the 
multi-winding drive unit that 
caused the alarm is older than that 
of the written parameters.
Check Fn012 to see if the set soft-
ware version agrees with that of the 
multi-winding drive unit. If not, an 
alarm may occur.
Write the parameters of another 
multi-winding drive unit of the 
same model with the same software 
version. Then turn the control 
power OFF and ON again.
A fault occurred in the multi-
winding drive unit.

The multi-winding drive unit may 
be faulty. Replace the multi-wind-
ing drive unit.
A.022:
System Checksum 
Error 1
(The data of the internal 
parameter is incorrect.)
The power supply voltage sud-
denly dropped.
Measure the power supply voltage.
The multi-winding drive unit may 
be faulty. Replace the multi-wind-
ing drive unit.
The power supply went OFF 
while setting an utility function.
Check the circumstances when the 
power supply went OFF.
The multi-winding drive unit may 
be faulty. Replace the multi-wind-
ing drive unit.
A fault occurred in the multi-
winding drive unit.
Turn the power supply ON and OFF 
again. If the alarm still occurs, the 
multi-winding drive unit may be 
faulty.
The multi-winding drive unit may 
be faulty. Replace the multi-wind-
ing drive unit.
A.030:

The SERVOPACK or converter 
may be faulty. Replace the SERVO-
PACK or converter.
