Servomotor 
Moves 
Instantaneously, 
and then Stops
Servomotor wiring is incorrect. Check the wiring. Correct the wiring.
Encoder wiring is incorrect. Check the wiring. Correct the wiring.
Servomotor 
Speed Unstable
Wiring connection to servomotor is 
defective.
Check connections of power line 
(phases U, V, and W) and encoder 
connectors.
Tighten any loose terminals or con-
nectors and correct the wiring.
Servomotor 
Rotates Without 
Reference Input
Speed control: Speed reference 
input is incorrect.
Check V-REF and SG to confirm if 
the control method and the input are 
agreed.
Correct the control method selec-
tion parameter, and the input signal.
Torque control: Torque reference 
input is incorrect.
Check V-REF and SG to confirm if 
the control method and the input are 
agreed.
Correct the control method selec-
tion parameter, and the input signal.
Speed reference offset is incorrect.
The offset in the multi-winding 
drive unit is adjusted incorrectly.
Adjust the offset in the multi-wind-
ing drive unit.
Position control: Reference pulse 
input is incorrect.
Check the reference pulse form 
(Pn200.0) and sign + pulse signal.
Correct the control method selec-
tion parameter, and the input signal.
A fault occurred in the multi-wind-
ing drive unit.
−
Replace the multi-winding drive 
unit.
Dynamic Brake 
Does Not Operate
Improper Pn001.0 setting
Check the setting for parameter 
Pn001.0.
Correct the setting for parameter 
Pn001.0.
DB resistor disconnected
Check if excessive moment of iner-
tia, motor overspeed, or DB fre-
quently activated occurred.
Replace the dynamic brake unit or 
change the external dynamic brake 
circuit. And reduce the load.
DB drive circuit fault
−
A defective component is in the 
dynamic brake circuit inside SER-
VOPACK. Replace the SERVO-
PACK.
Wiring of the dynamic brake unit is 
incorrect.
Check the wiring. Correct the wiring.
Abnormal Noise 
from Servomotor
The servomotor largely vibrated 
during execution of tuning-less 
function.
Check the motor speed waveform.
Reduce the load so that the moment 
of inertia ratio becomes within the 
allowable value, or increase the 
load level or lower the tuning level 
for the tuning-less levels setting 
(Fn200).
Mounting is not secured.
Check if there are any loose mount-
ing screws.
Tighten the mounting screws.
Check if there is misalignment of 
couplings.
Align the couplings.
Check if there are unbalanced cou-
plings.
Balance the couplings.
Bearings are defective.
Check for noise and vibration 
around the bearings.
Replace the servomotor.
Vibration source at the driven 
machine.
Check for any foreign matter, dam-
age, or deformations on the machin-
ery's movable parts.
Contact the machine manufacturer.
Noise interference due to incorrect 
I/O signal cable specifications.
The I/O signal cable must be tinned 
annealed copper shielded twisted-
pair or screened unshielded twisted-
pair cable with a core of 0.12 mm
2
 
min.
Use the specified I/O signal cable.
Noise interference due to length of 
I/O signal cable.
Check the length of the I/O signal 
cable.
The I/O signal cable length must be 
no more than 3 m.
