E

Abnormal Charge of Capacitor Module (ECM)

Fanuc · Macro B CNC Programming

What does E mean?

The Energy Charge Module's (ECM) Capacitor Modules are not charging normally. This indicates a failure in the charging process, possibly due to a fault in the Capacitor Module itself (A06B-6158-H020), the charging control circuit, or insufficient power supply.

Common Causes

  • Abnormal charging behavior of the capacitor module (ECM).
  • Faulty charging circuit within the ECM.
  • Capacitor module (ECM) leakage current exceeds acceptable levels.
  • External influences causing erratic charging profiles.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Immediately stop the machine using the emergency stop button and open the external Main Circuit Contactor (MCC) of the Power supply.

  2. 2

    Inspect the Capacitor Modules (A06B-6158-H020) for any visible damage or signs of malfunction, such as bulging or leakage.

  3. 3

    Check the connections between the ECM Control Module (A06B-6158-H010) and the Capacitor Modules for secure contact and continuity.

  4. 4

    Verify the functionality of the DC Reactor (A06B-6158-H040), which smooths the charge and discharge current (page 578).

  5. 5

    Measure the input power to the ECM to ensure it meets the requirements for charging the capacitor modules.
