C8

Spindle Synchronization Position Error

This alarm indicates that the spindle motor's position error has exceeded an acceptable threshold during spindle synchronization. This can be triggered by specific sequence timing issues when motor excitation is off, by motor overload during cutting, or by an incorrectly set alarm detection level (parameter No. 4516).

C9

Spindle Synchronization Position Error

In spindle synchronization, the position error exceeded the alarm detection level, which is defined by parameter No. 4516. This indicates that the motor's actual position deviates too much from its commanded position during synchronized operation.

E

Input Power Supply Open Phase (α i PS, α i PSR)

This alarm indicates an abnormal input power supply condition, specifically an open phase, for the α i PS or α i PSR unit. An open phase can lead to motor damage or operational instability.

E0

Sensor (serial) one-rotation signal pulse count out of range

The number of pulses detected between one-rotation signals from the serial sensor falls outside the specified acceptable range. This alarm specifically points to an abnormality in the sensor's detection circuit, indicating a malfunction in its ability to accurately measure rotational position.

F

Inverter: cooling fan stopped of the radiator

The cooling fan responsible for the inverter's radiator has stopped functioning. Possible causes include the fan not running, a defective fan motor connector or cable, or a failure within the Servo Amplifier. A non-operational radiator fan can lead to critical overheating.

H

Regenerative Resistor Overheat (α i PSR)

This alarm indicates that the temperature of the regenerative resistor in the α i PSR unit has risen abnormally high. This can be caused by the resistor not being detected, an undersized resistor, excessive regenerative power, or a stopped cooling fan.

No LED Display

No LED Display on Power Supply

This condition occurs when the 200-V control power (CX1A) is not supplied to the α i PS or α i PSR unit, or when the 24-VDC power output is short-circuited. This prevents the Power Supply from operating and indicating status.

P

Communication error between amplifiers

A communication error has occurred between various amplifiers. This issue is typically caused by a defective connector or cable (CXA2A/B) used for inter-amplifier communication, or an internal failure within the Servo Amplifier. This error prevents proper control signal exchange.

Sensor (Serial) Communication Disconnected

This alarm indicates that communication between the serial sensor and the Spindle Amplifier is disconnected. This can be caused by incorrect parameter settings, an unsupported Spindle Amplifier, cable issues, or a defective Spindle Amplifier.

d3

Serial data destroyed by noise

Serial data transmitted between the sensor (serial) and the Spindle Amplifier was detected as corrupted by noise. This indicates a problem with the cable's shielding, external electrical interference, or the overall integrity of the data transmission path. Data corruption can lead to incorrect feedback or control.

d4

Position data change exceeded expected range

A change in position data reported by the serial sensor was detected as exceeding the anticipated range. If this alarm occurs at machine startup, it can stem from a parameter setting error or cable shielding issues. If it arises during normal machine operation, a cable shielding problem is the more likely cause, suggesting an anomaly in position feedback.

d7

Spindle Amplifier communication error

A communication error has occurred within an electronic device on the Spindle Amplifier control circuit. This suggests that the Spindle Amplifier control printed-circuit board may be loose, or the Spindle Amplifier unit itself is faulty. This error directly impacts the control functionality of the spindle.
