SV0385
SERIAL DATA ERROR(EXT)
Fanuc · Alpha i Series Servo Amplifier
What does SV0385 mean?
Communications data could not be received from the separate detector. This indicates a failure in the serial communication link from the external detector to the servo system.
Common Causes
- Loose, damaged, or improperly terminated serial communication cable to the external detector.
- External detector's serial communication interface failure.
- Electromagnetic interference (EMI) affecting serial data transfer.
- Corrupted firmware within the external detector.
- Mismatched serial communication parameters (baud rate, stop bits).
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Inspect and firmly reseat the serial cable at both ends.
- 2
Measure signal integrity on the external detector's serial data lines.
- 3
Test with a known good external detector if possible.
- 4
Verify communication protocol settings in servo parameters (e.g., P1-02).
- 5
Check the external detector's communication port for physical damage.
