Error (The

saved in the
host con-
troller when

was turned
OFF is dif-
ferent from
the posi-
tion when
the power
was next
turned ON.)
Noise interference occurred
because of incorrect Encoder
Cable specifications.
Turn OFF the power sup-
ply to the servo system.
Check the Encoder Cable
to see if it satisfies speci-
fications. Use shielded
twisted-pair cables or
screened twisted-pair
cables with conductors of
at least 0.12 mm
2
(stranded wire).
Use cables that satisfy
the specifications.
–
Noise interference occurred
because the Encoder Cable
is too long.
Turn OFF the power sup-
ply to the servo system.
Check the length of the
Encoder Cable.
• Rotary Servomotors:
The Encoder Cable
length must be 50 m
max.
• Linear Servomotors:
Make sure that the
Serial Converter Unit
cable is no longer
than 20 m and that
the Linear Encoder
Cable and the Sensor
Cable are no longer
than 15 m each.
–
Noise interference occurred
because the Encoder Cable
is damaged.
Turn OFF the power sup-
ply to the servo system.
Check the Encoder Cable
to see if it is pinched or
the sheath is damaged.
Replace the Encoder
Cable and correct the
cable installation envi-
ronment.
–
The Encoder Cable was sub-
ject to excessive noise inter-
ference.
Turn OFF the power sup-
ply to the servo system.
Check to see if the
Encoder Cable is bundled
with a high-current line or
installed near a high-cur-
rent line.
Correct the cable lay-
out so that no surge is
applied by high-current
lines.
–
There is variation in the FG
potential because of the
influence of machines on the
Servomotor side, such as a
welder.
Turn OFF the power sup-
ply to the servo system.
Check to see if the
machines are correctly
grounded.
Properly ground the
machines to separate
them from the FG of
the encoder.
–
There is a SERVOPACK
pulse counting error due to
noise.
Turn OFF the power sup-
ply to the servo system.
Check to see if there is
noise interference on the
I/O signal line from the
encoder or Serial Con-
verter Unit.
Implement counter-
measures against noise
for the encoder or
Serial Converter Unit
wiring.
–
The encoder was subjected
to excessive vibration or
shock.
Turn OFF the power sup-
ply to the servo system.
Check to see if vibration
from the machine
occurred.
Check the Servomotor
installation (mounting sur-
face precision, securing
state, and alignment).
Check the linear encoder
installation (mounting sur-
face precision and secur-
ing method).
Reduce machine vibra-
tion. Improve the
mounting state of the
Servomotor or linear
encoder.
