| Alarm | Description of Alarm/Error | 
|---|---|
| 01 | The inside temperature of the motor is higher than the specified temperature. | 
| 02 | The actual motor speed is largely deviated from the commanded speed. | 
| 03 | The fuse of the DC link has blown (The voltage at the DC link is insufficient). | 
| 06 | The temperature sensor is abnormal, or the temperature sensor cable is broken. | 
| 07 | The motor rotates at a speed exceeding 115% (standard setting) of the maximum allowable speed. | 
| 09 | The temperature of the heat sink of the SPM main circuit has risen abnormally. This alarm is issued for SPM-15i and later.With SPM-2.2i to SPM-11i however, Alarm 12 is issued for the same cause. | 
| 12 | An excessively large current flowed into the DC link of the main circuit. | 
| 15 | In output switching control or spindle switching control, the switching operation sequence was not executed correctly. . | 
| 18 | A sum check is abnormal. | 
| 19 / 20 | The offset voltage of the phase U (19) or phase V (20) current detection circuit is excessively high. | 
| 21 | The specified polarity of the position sensor is incorrect. | 
| 24 | Serial communication data transferred between the CNC and spindle amplifier module contains an error. | 
| 27 | The signal of the position code is disconnected. | 
| 29 | An excessive load (standard setting: load meter reading of 9 V) has been applied continuously for a certain period. | 
| 31 | The motor failed to rotate as specified, and has stopped or is rotating at a very low speed. | 
| 36 | The error counter overflowed. | 
| 37 | After emergency stop signal input, the motor is accelerated without being decelerated. | 
| 41 | The position where the one-rotation signal of the position coder is generated is incorrect. | 
| 42 | The one-rotation signal of the position coder is not generated. | 
| 46 | The one-rotation signal of the position coder cannot be detected normally during thread cutting. | 
| 47 | The count value of position coder signal pulses is abnormal. Phases A and B for the position coder have a feedback pulse count of 4096 p/rev per spindle rotation. | 
| 50 | A value obtained by internal calculation in spindle synchronization exceeded the allowable range. | 
| 52 / 53 | The synchronization signal (ITP) in communication data transferred to and from the CNC stopped. | 
| 54 | A large current flowing in the motor for a long time was detected. | 
| 55 | In spindle switching control or output switching control, a mismatch between the switching request signal (SPSL or RSL) and the power lead state check signal. | 
| 56 | The cooling fan for the control circuit section has stopped. | 
| 66 | An error occurred during communication (connector JX4) between spindle and amplifier. | 
| 69 | This alarm can be issued only when Dual Check Safety is in use. | 
| 70 | This alarm can be issued only when Dual Check Safety is in use. | 
| 71 | This alarm can be issued only when Dual Check Safety is in use. | 
| 72 | This alarm can be issued only when Dual Check Safety is in use. | 
| 73 | The signal of the motor sensor is disconnected. | 
| 74 | This alarm can be issued only when Dual Check Safety is in use. | 
| 75 | This alarm can be issued only when Dual Check Safety is in use. | 
| 76 | This alarm can be issued only when Dual Check Safety is in use. | 
| 77 | This alarm can be issued only when Dual Check Safety is in use. | 
| 78 | This alarm can be issued only when Dual Check Safety is in use. | 
| 79 | This alarm can be issued only when Dual Check Safety is in use. | 
| 81 | The position where the one-rotation signal of the motor sensor is generated is incorrect. | 
| 82 | The one-rotation signal of the motor sensor is not generated. | 
| 83 | The SPM checks the pulse counts of phases A and B each time a one-rotation signal is generated. | 
| 84 | The spindle sensor signal was disconnected. | 
| 85 | The one-rotation signal of the spindle sensor occurred in an incorrect location. | 
| 86 | No spindle sensor one-rotation signal occurred. | 
| 87 | A spindle sensor signal is abnormal. | 
| 88 | The heat sink cooling fan is not running. | 
| A, A1, A2 | The control program is not running, therefore an error was detected when the control program was running. | 
| b0 | An error occurred in communication between amplifier modules (SPM, SVM and PSM). | 
| C0, C1, C2 | An error occurred in serial communication data between the CNC and spindle amplifier module. | 
| C3 | In spindle switching a mismatch is found between the switching request signal (SPSL) and the internal status of the motor/spindle sensor signal switching circuit (submodule SW). |
