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.
