not correct.
Check the servo OFF

(OT) Signal
The limit switch position and
dog length are not appropri-
ate.
–
Install the limit switch at
the appropriate posi-
tion.
–
The overtravel limit switch
position is too close for the
coasting distance.
–
Install the overtravel
limit switch at the
appropriate position.

Noise interference occurred
because of incorrect Encoder
Cable specifications.
Check the Encoder Cable
to see if it satisfies speci-
fications. Use a shielded
twisted-pair wire cable or
a screened twisted-pair
cable with conductors of
at least 0.12 mm
2
.
Use cables that satisfy
the specifications.
–
Noise interference occurred
because the Encoder Cable
is too long.
Check the length of the
Encoder Cable.
Rotary Servomotors:
The Encoder Cable
length must be 50 m
max.
–
Noise interference occurred
because the Encoder Cable
is damaged.
Check the Encoder Cable
to see if it is pinched or
the sheath is damaged.
Replace the Encoder
Cable and correct the
cable installation envi-
ronment.
–
The Encoder Cable was sub-
jected to excessive noise
interference.
Check to see if the
Encoder Cable is bundled
with a high-current line or
installed near a high-cur-
rent line.
Correct the cable lay-
out so that no surge is
applied by high-current
lines.
–
There is variation in the FG
potential because of the
influence of machines on the
Servomotor side, such as a
welder.
Check to see if the
machines are correctly
grounded.
Properly ground the
machines to separate
them from the FG of
the encoder.
–
There is a SERVOPACK
pulse counting error due to
noise.
Check to see if there is
noise interference on the
I/O signal line from the
encoder or Serial Con-
verter Unit.
Implement counter-
measures against noise
for the encoder wiring
or Serial Converter Unit
wiring.
–
The encoder was subjected
to excessive vibration or
shock.
Check to see if vibration
from the machine
occurred.
Check the Servomotor
installation (mounting sur-
face precision, securing
state, and alignment).
Reduce machine vibra-
tion. Or, improve the
mounting conditions of
the Servomotor.
–
The coupling between the
machine and Servomotor is
not suitable.
Check to see if position
offset occurs at the cou-
pling between machine
and Servomotor.
Correctly secure the
coupling between the
machine and Servomo-
tor.
–
Noise interference occurred
because of incorrect I/O sig-
nal cable specifications.
Check the I/O signal
cables to see if they sat-
isfy specifications. Use a
shielded twisted-pair wire
cable or a screened
twisted-pair cable with
conductors of at least
0.12 mm
2
.
Use cables that satisfy
the specifications.
