10.1  Alarm Displays
10-17
A.bF4:
System Alarm 4
A fault occurred in the SERVO-
PACK.
−
Turn the power supply OFF and 
then ON again. If the alarm still 
occurs, the SERVOPACK may be 
faulty. Replace the SERVOPACK.
A.C10:
Servo Overrun 
Detected
(Detected when the 
servomotor power is 
ON.)
The order of phases U, V, and W 
in the servomotor wiring is incor-
rect.
Check the motor wiring.
Confirm that the servomotor is cor-
rectly wired.
An encoder fault occurred. −
If the alarm still occurs after turning 
the power OFF and then ON again, 
even though the servomotor is cor-
rectly wired, the servomotor may be 
faulty. Replace the servomotor.
A fault occurred in the SERVO-
PACK or converter.
−
Turn the power supply OFF and 
then ON again. If the alarm still 
occurs, the SERVOPACK or con-
verter may be faulty. Replace the 
SERVOPACK or converter.
A.C80:
Absolute Encoder 
Clear Error and 
Multi-turn Limit Set-
ting Error
An encoder fault occurred. −
Turn the power supply OFF and 
then ON again. If the alarm still 
occurs, the servomotor may be 
faulty. Replace the servomotor.
A fault occurred in the SERVO-
PACK.
−
Turn the power supply OFF and 
then ON again. If the alarm still 
occurs, the SERVOPACK may be 
faulty. Replace the SERVOPACK.
A.C90:
Encoder 
Communications Error
Contact fault of connector or 
incorrect wiring for encoder 
cable.
Check the connector contact status 
for encoder cable.
Re-insert the connector and confirm 
that the encoder is correctly wired.
Cable disconnection for encoder 
cable or short-circuit.
Or, incorrect cable impedance.
Check the encoder cable.
Use the cable with the specified rat-
ing.
Corrosion caused by improper 
temperature, humidity, or gas, 
short-circuit caused by intrusion 
of water drops or cutting oil, or 
connector contact fault caused by 
vibration.
Check the operating environment.
Improve the operating environmen-
tal conditions, and replace the cable. 
If the alarm still occurs, replace the 
SERVOPACK.
Malfunction caused by noise 
interference.
−
Correct the wiring around the 
encoder by separating the encoder  
cable from the servomotor main cir-
cuit cable or by checking the 
grounding and other wiring.
A fault occurred in the SERVO-
PACK.
−
Connect the servomotor to another 
SERVOPACK, and turn ON the 
control power. If no alarm occurs, 
the SERVOPACK may be faulty. 
Replace the SERVOPACK.
A.C91:
Encoder 
Communications 
Position Data Error
Noise interference occurred on 
the I/O signal line because the 
encoder cable is bent and the 
sheath is damaged.
Check the encoder cable and con-
nector.
Confirm that there is no problem 
with the cable layout.
The encoder cable is  bundled 
with a high-current line or near a 
high-current line.
Check the 
cable layout for enco
der 
cable.
Confirm that there is no surge volt-
age on the cable.
The FG potential varies because 
of influence from machines on 
the servomotor side, such as the 
welder.
Check the cable layout for encoder 
cable.
Properly ground the machines to 
separate from the encoder FG.
