Main Circuit Capacitor Recharge Failure (PSM, PSMR)
Fanuc · Series 30i CNC
What does 5 mean?
The main circuit capacitor within the PSM or PSMR unit failed to recharge within the specified time. This can indicate an issue with the power supply capability, a short circuit in the DC link, or a component failure in the recharge circuit. Failure to recharge can prevent the unit from powering up or operating correctly.
Common Causes
- Too many SVM and/or SPM units connected, exceeding the PSM specification
- The DC link is short-circuited
- The recharge current limiting resistor is defective
Repair Steps
- 1
Check the specification of the PSM for the total number and type of connected SVM/SPM units
- 2
Check the DC link connection for any signs of a short circuit
- 3
Replace the distributing board to address a potentially defective recharge current limiting resistor
