SV0304
APC ALARM: PARITY ERROR
Fanuc · Alpha i Series Servo Amplifier
What does SV0304 mean?
A parity error was detected during data transfer from the absolute-position detector, making it impossible to obtain the correct machine position. This error points to a potential defect in the absolute-position detector, its cable, or the servo interface module.
Common Causes
- Parity bit error in the data transmitted by the APC.
- Corrupted data bits in the transmission stream.
- Faulty APC encoder generating incorrect parity.
- Environmental noise corrupting data during transfer.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Verify parity setting (even/odd) in CNC communication parameters.
- 2
Measure APC encoder output for signal integrity and bit stability.
- 3
Check APC encoder for loose internal connections.
- 4
Shield communication cables to prevent external interference.
