SV0305
APC ALARM: PULSE ERROR
Fanuc · Alpha i Series Servo Amplifier
What does SV0305 mean?
A pulse error occurred with the absolute-position detector, preventing the system from obtaining the correct machine position. This issue is typically caused by a defect in the absolute-position detector or its connecting cable.
Common Causes
- APC encoder pulse generation is inconsistent or faulty.
- Signal degradation of the encoder's pulse output.
- Incorrect pulse counting by the CNC.
- Mechanical issues affecting the encoder's disc rotation.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Measure APC encoder pulse output (e.g., A, B signals) for correct waveform and frequency.
- 2
Inspect encoder mounting for any mechanical play or vibration.
- 3
Verify pulse counting parameters in the CNC.
- 4
Test APC encoder with a known good reference if possible.
