CK3E-series Programmable Multi-Axis Controller Hardware User’s Manual (I610)
For non-fatal errors in the Programmable Multi-Axis Controller, take the following corrective actions
depending on the nature of the error.

Non-fatal Errors in the Programmable Multi-Axis Controller
Details
Cause
Corrective action
The EtherCAT
physical layer link is
not established.
The Ethernet cable used for EtherCAT com-
munications is broken or the specified cable
is not being used.
If the Ethernet cable is broken or if the specified
cable was not used, replace the cable.
A connector on the Ethernet cable used for
EtherCAT communications is disconnected,
the contact is faulty, or parts are faulty.
Reconnect the connector and check to ensure it
is mated correctly.
Noise
Check noise entry paths, and implement
noise-related countermeasures as required.
A slave within the EtherCAT network config-
uration failed.
Replace the slave.
The Programmable Multi-Axis Controller
failed.
Replace the Programmable Multi-Axis Control-
ler.
The Ethernet physi-
cal layer link is not
established.
The Ethernet cable used for Ethernet com-
munications is broken or the specified cable
is not being used.
If the Ethernet cable is broken or if the specified
cable was not used, replace the cable.
A connector on the Ethernet cable used for
Ethernet communications is disconnected,
the contact is faulty, or parts are faulty.
Reconnect the connector and check to ensure it
is mated correctly.
Noise
Check noise entry paths, and implement
noise-related countermeasures as required.
A device within the Ethernet network config-
uration failed.
Replace the device.
The Programmable Multi-Axis Controller
failed.
Replace the Programmable Multi-Axis Control-
ler.
Interrupted commu-
nications between
Power PMAC IDE
and Programmable
Multi-Axis Controller
The Ethernet cable used for Ethernet com-
munications between Power PMAC IDE and
Programmable Multi-Axis Controller is dis-
connected and then reconnected while
communications are being established,
which caused communications to be inter-
rupted.
If communications are interrupted between
Power PMAC IDE and Programmable Multi-Axis
Controller while Ethernet communications are
established between them, the communications
cannot be reestablished simply by rectifying the
problem that interrupted the communications. To
reestablish the communication, you need to
restart Power PMAC IDE or reestablish the com-
munications by using Power PMAC IDE. Refer
to “Power PMAC IDE User Manual” for details.
The power to the Ethernet switch between
Power PMAC IDE and Programmable
Multi-Axis Controller is turned OFF and then
ON while communications are being estab-
lished, which caused communications to be
interrupted.
The power to Programmable Multi-Axis
Controller is turned OFF and then ON while
communications are being established,
which caused communications to be inter-
rupted.
Communications are temporarily interrupted
by noise.
Check noise entry paths, and implement
noise-related countermeasures as required.
Then reestablish communications between
Power PMAC IDE and Programmable Multi-Axis
Controller.
To reestablish the communication, you need to
restart Power PMAC IDE or reestablish the com-
munications by using Power PMAC IDE. Refer
to “Power PMAC IDE User Manual” for details.
