Over-current at Power Running (ECM)

Fanuc · Alpha i Series AC Servo Motor and Spindle

What does 1 mean?

An over-current condition has occurred in the DC link during power running operation of the motor. This indicates excessive current draw, potentially due to motor load or amplifier issues.

Common Causes

  • Excessive current drawn by the motor during normal acceleration or running phases.
  • Motor is overloaded beyond its rated capacity.
  • Mechanical issue causing increased motor torque requirement (e.g., binding, excessive friction).
  • Incorrect motor tuning or acceleration profile settings (e.g., P1-03, P1-04).
  • Voltage drop to the motor causing increased current draw.
