Drive-Side Error Codes
Drive-side error codes appear on the drive digital operator. Causes of the errors and
corrective actions are listed in Table 7 . For additional error codes that may appear on the
drive digital operator, refer to the drive Technical Manual.
■ Faults
Both bUS (option communication error) and EF0 (External fault input from the option) can
appear as an alarm or as a fault. When a fault occurs, the digital operator ALM LED remains
lit. When an alarm occurs, the ALM LED flashes.
If communication stops while the drive is running, use the following questions as a guide to
help remedy the fault:
• Is the option properly installed?
• Is the communication line properly connected to the option? Is it loose?
• Is the controller program working? Has the controller/PLC CPU stopped?
• Did a momentary power loss interrupt communications?

A data error occurred due to electric
interference
• Inspect items that can minimize the effects of electrical noise
• Counteract noise in the control circuit, main circuit, and ground wiring
• If a magnetic contactor is identified as a source of noise, install a surge
absorber to the contactor coil
• Make sure the cable used meets the MECHATROLINK-III requirements
• Make sure the option ground wire is connected between option FE
terminal and the drive ground terminal connected to earth ground
Option is damaged
If there are no problems with the wiring and the error continues to occur,
replace the option.
