11-10
A.86
Encoder 
Overheated
(Only when an 
absolute encoder 
is connected.)
(Detected on the 
encoder side.) 
Occurred when the 
control power sup-
ply was turned ON.
An encoder fault occurred. Replace the servomotor.
A SERVOPACK board fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK.
Occurred during 
normal operation.
The surrounding air temperature around the servo-
motor is too high.
The surrounding air temperature must be 40°C or 
less.
The servomotor load is greater than the rated load.
The servomotor load must be within the specified 
range.
An encoder fault occurred. Replace the servomotor.
A SERVOPACK board fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK.
A.b1
Reference 
Speed Input 
Read Error
(Detected when 
the Servo is ON.) 
Occurred when the 
control power sup-
ply was turned ON.
A SERVOPACK board fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK.
Occurred during 
normal operation.
A malfunction occurred in reading section of the 
speed reference input.
Clear and reset the alarm and restart the opera-
tion.
A SERVOPACK board fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK.
A.b2
Reference 
Torque Input 
Read Error
(Detected when 
the servo is ON.)
Occurred when the 
control power sup-
ply was turned ON.
A SERVOPACK board fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK.
A malfunction occurred in the reading section of the 
torque reference input. 
Clear and reset the alarm and restart the opera-
tion.
Occurred during 
normal operation.
A SERVOPACK board fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK.
A.b3
Current Detec-
tion Error
Occurred when the 
control power sup-
ply was turned ON.
The current sensor is faulty. Replace the SERVOPACK.
Occurred when the 
servo was ON.
The current sensor is faulty. Replace the SERVOPACK.
The Servo ON command was input while the 
servomotor was operating.
Check to be sure the servomotor has stopped, 
and then input the Servo ON command.
The servomotor is disconnected. Correct the servomotor wiring.
Occurred during 
normal operation.
The current sensor is faulty. Replace the SERVOPACK.
The servomotor was disconnected. Correct the servomotor wiring.
A.bF
System Alarm 
(Program error)
• Software oper-
ation time 
exceeded
• Stack overflow
• Micro program 
error
Occurred when the 
control power sup-
ply was turned ON.
A SERVOPACK board fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK.
Occurred during 
normal operation.
A program is incorrect.
Replace the SERVOPACK.  (Contact your 
Yaskawa representative.) 
A SERVOPACK board fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK. 
A.C1
Servo Overrun 
Detected
(Detected when 
the servo is ON.)
Occurred when the 
control power sup-
ply was turned ON. 
A SERVOPACK board fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK.
Occurred when the 
servo was ON or a 
reference was input.
The order of phase U, V, and W in the servomotor 
wiring is incorrect.
Correct the servomotor wiring.
An encoder fault occurred. Replace the servomotor.
A SERVOPACK fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK.
A.C8
Absolute 
Encoder Clear 
Error and Multi-
turn Limit Set-
ting Error
Occurred when the 
control power sup-
ply was turned ON. 
An encoder fault occurred. Replace the servomotor.
A SERVOPACK board fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK.
Occurred when an 
encoder alarm was 
cleared and reset. 
An encoder fault occurred. Replace the servomotor.
A SERVOPACK board fault occurred. Replace the SERVOPACK.
