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).
