8.
Inverter: IPM alarm (OH) (L axis)
Fanuc · Series 30i CNC
What does 8. mean?
An Intelligent Power Module (IPM) overheat alarm has occurred for the L-axis. This indicates the IPM for the L-axis is operating at an excessively high temperature. This typically results from the motor being used under harsh conditions (e.g., heavy load) or a high ambient temperature around the SVM.
Common Causes
- The motor is being used under a harsh condition.
- The ambient temperature is high.
- SVM failure.
Repair Steps
- 1
Verify the motor load for the L-axis is within its rated specifications.
- 2
Measure the ambient temperature around the SVM.
- 3
Verify adequate airflow to the SVM's heat sink and cooling components for the L-axis.
