11.1.3  Troubleshooting of Alarm and Warning
11-10
A.73
Dynamic Brake 
Overload
Occurred when the 
control power sup-
ply was turned ON. 
A SERVOPACK board fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK.
Occurred when the 
servomotor was 
running and in a sta-
tus other than servo 
OFF. 
A SERVOPACK board fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK.
Occurred when the 
servomotor was 
running in servo 
OFF status.
The rotating energy at a DB stop exceeds the DB 
resistance capacity.
cReduce the motor speed,
dReduce the load moment of inertia, or 
eReduce the number of times of the DB stop 
operation.
A SERVOPACK fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK.
A.74
Overload of 
Surge Current 
Limit Resistor
(Detected when 
the number of 
times that the 
main circuit’s 
power is turned 
ON or OFF more 
than 10 times/2 
seconds.)
Occurred when the 
control power sup-
ply was turned ON.
A SERVOPACK board fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK.
Occurred during 
operations other 
than the turning 
ON/OFF of the 
main circuit. 
A SERVOPACK board fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK.
Occurred at the 
main circuit power 
supply ON/OFF 
operation.
The surge current limit resistor operation frequency 
at the main circuit power supply ON/OF operation 
exceeds the allowable range.
Reduce the number of times that main circuit’s 
power supply can be turned ON/OFF to 5 times/
min. or less.
A SERVOPACK fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK.
A.7A
Heat Sink 
Overheated
(Detected when 
the heat sink 
temperature 
exceeds 100 × 
°C.)
Occurred when the 
control power sup-
ply was turned ON.
A SERVOPACK fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK.
The overload alarm has been reset by turning OFF 
the power too many times.
Change the method to reset the alarm.
Occurred when the 
main circuit power 
supply was turned 
ON or while the ser-
vomotor was run-
ning.
The load exceeds the rated load.
Reconsider the load and operation conditions, or 
reconsider the servomotor capacity.
The SERVOPACK ambient temperature exceeds 
55°C.
The ambient temperature must be 55°C or less.
A SERVOPACK fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK.
A.81
Encoder 
Backup Error
(Detected on the 
encoder side.)
(Only  when an 
absolute encoder 
is connected.)
Occurred when the 
control power sup-
ply was turned ON.
(Setting:  
Pn002.2=1)
A SERVOPACK board fault occurred when an abso-
lute encoder is used with the setting for incremental 
encoder.
Replace the SERVOPACK.
Occurred when the 
control power sup-
ply was turned ON 
using an absolute 
encoder. (Setting: 
Pn002.2=0)
Alarm occurred when the power to the absolute 
encoder was initially turned ON.
Set up the encoder.
The encoder cable had been disconnected once.
First confirm the connection and set up the 
encoder.
The power from both the PG power supply (+5 V) 
and the battery power supply from the SERVO-
PACK is not being supplied.
 Replace the battery or take similar measures to 
supply power to the encoder, and set up the 
encoder.
An absolute encoder fault occurred.
If the alarm cannot be reset by setting up the 
encoder again, replace the encoder.
A SERVOPACK fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK.
A.82
Encoder 
Checksum 
Error
(Detected on the 
encoder side.)
Occurred when the 
control power sup-
ply was turned ON 
or during an opera-
tion.
A fault occurred in the encoder and was detected by 
encoder self-diagnosis. 
Set up the encoder.  If this alarm occurs fre-
quently, replace the servomotor.
A SERVOPACK fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK.
Occurred when the 
SEN signal turned 
ON.
A fault occurred in the encoder and was detected by 
encoder self-diagnosis. 
Set up the encoder.  If this alarm occurs fre-
quently, replace the servomotor.
