6.1.3 ALM (Servo Alarm) Signal
6-8
Forcing Outputs with MECHATROLINK-III Commands
You can use the servo command I/O signal (SVCMD_IO) command through MECHATROLINK-
III communications to force outputs on general-purpose sequence output 1 (SO1) to general-
purpose sequence output 3 (SO3).
Use Pn56A = n.
XXX to set the output signal reference method for SO1 to SO3.
Refer to the following manual for detailed information on the servo command I/O signal (SVCM-
D_IO) command.

6.1.3
ALM (Servo Alarm) Signal
This signal is output when the SERVOPACK detects an error.
Alarm Reset Methods
Refer to the following section for information on the alarm reset methods.
Parameter
Description
When Enabled
Classification
Pn56A
n.
0
(default set-
ting)
Output parameter-assigned SO1 signal.
After restart
Setup
n.
1
Output OR of parameter-assigned SO1 signal
and signal set by SVCMD_IO.
n.
0
(default set-
ting)
Output parameter-assigned SO2 signal.
n.
1
Output OR of parameter-assigned SO2 signal
and signal set by SVCMD_IO.
n.
0
(default set-
ting)
Output parameter-assigned SO3 signal.
n.
1
Output OR of parameter-assigned SO3 signal
and signal set by SVCMD_IO.
If you change the setting of Pn56A from the default setting to n.
1, an OR of the /BK
signal and the signal that is set with the servo command I/O signal (SVCMD_IO) command
will be output.
To output only the signal that is set with the servo command I/O signal (SVCMD_IO) command on
SO1 to SO3, disable the signal that is allocated with the parameter (i.e., set it to not use the sig-
nal).
Example
Important
Configure an external circuit so that this alarm output turns OFF the main circuit power supply to
the SERVOPACK whenever an error occurs.
