Abnormal
Noise from
Servomotor
The Servomotor
vibrated considerably
while performing the
tuning-less function
with the default set-
tings.
Check the waveform of the
motor speed.
Reduce the load so that
the moment of inertia ratio
or mass ratio is within the
allowable value, or
increase the load level or
reduce the rigidity level in
the tuning-less level set-
tings.
*
The machine mounting
is not secure.
Turn OFF the power supply
to the servo system.
Check to see if there are any
loose mounting screws.
Tighten the mounting
screws.
–
The machine mounting
is not secure.
Turn OFF the power supply
to the servo system.
Check to see if there is mis-
alignment in the coupling.
Align the coupling.
–
Turn OFF the power supply
to the servo system.
Check to see if the coupling
is balanced.
Balance the coupling.
–
The bearings are
defective.
Turn OFF the power supply
to the servo system.
Check for noise and vibra-
tion around the bearings.
Replace the Servomotor.
–
There is a vibration
source at the driven
machine.
Turn OFF the power supply
to the servo system.
Check for any foreign mat-
ter, damage, or deformation
in the machine’s moving
parts.
Consult with the machine
manufacturer.
–
Noise interference
occurred because of
incorrect I/O signal
cable specifications.
Turn OFF the power supply
to the servo system.
Check the I/O signal cables
to see if they satisfy specifi-
cations. Use shielded
twisted-pair wire cables or
screened twisted-pair
cables with conductors of at
least 0.12 mm
2
.
Use cables that satisfy the
specifications.
–
Noise interference
occurred because an I/
O signal cable is too
long.
Turn OFF the power supply
to the servo system.
Check the lengths of the I/O
signal cables.
The I/O signal cables must
be no longer than 3 m.
–
Noise interference
occurred because of
incorrect Encoder
Cable specifications.
Turn OFF the power supply
to the servo system.
Make sure that the rotary
Encoder Cable satisfies the
specifications. Use a
shielded twisted-pair wire
cable or a screened twisted-
pair cable with a conductors
of at least 0.12 mm
2
.
Use cables that satisfy the
specifications.
–
Noise interference
occurred because the
Encoder Cable is too
long.
Turn OFF the power supply
to the servo system.
Check the length of the
Encoder Cable.
The Encoder Cable length
must be 50 m max.
