Servomotor 
Vibrates at 
about 200 to 
400 Hz
Speed loop gain value (Pn100) too 
high.
Factory setting: Kv=40.0 Hz
Refer to 9.3.2 Servo Gain Manual Tuning.
Reduce speed loop gain (Pn100) preset value.
Position loop gain value (Pn102) too 
high
Factory setting: Kp=40.0/s
Refer to 9.3.2 Servo Gain Manual Tuning.
Reduce position loop gain (Pn102) preset value.
Incorrect speed loop integral time 
constant (Pn101) setting
Factory setting: Ti=20.00 ms
Refer to 9.3.2 Servo Gain Manual Tuning.
Correct the speed loop integral time constant (Pn101) 
setting.
When the autotuning is used: Incor-
rect machine rigidity setting
Check the machine rigidity setting (Fn001).
Select a proper machine rigidity setting (Fn001).
When the autotuning is not used: 
Incorrect rotational moment of iner-
tia ratio data
Check the rotational moment of inertia ratio 
data (Pn103).
Correct the rotational moment of inertia ratio data 
(Pn103).

Overshoot on 
Starting and 
Stopping.
Speed loop gain value (Pn100) too 
high
Factory setting: Kv=40.0 Hz
Refer to the gain adjustment in User’s Man-
ual.
Reduce the speed loop gain (Pn100) preset value.
Position loop gain value (Pn102) too 
high
Factory setting: Kp=40.0/s
Refer to the gain adjustment in User’s Man-
ual.
Reduce the position loop gain (Pn102) preset value.
Incorrect speed loop integral time 
constant (Pn101) setting
Factory setting: Ti=20.00 ms
Refer to the gain adjustment in User’s Man-
ual.
Correct the speed loop integral time constant (Pn101) 
setting.
When the autotuning is used: Incor-
rect machine rigidity setting
Check the machine rigidity setting (Fn001).
Select a proper machine rigidity setting (Fn001).
When the autotuning is not used: 
Incorrect rotational moment of iner-
tia ratio data
Check the rotational moment of inertia ratio 
data (Pn103).
Correct the rotational moment of inertia ratio data 
(Pn103).
Use the mode switch setting function.

Noise interference due to improper 
encoder cable specifications
The specifications of encoder cable must 
be:
Twisted-pair or twisted-pair shielded wire 
with core 0.12 mm
2
(0.0002 in
2
) min. and
tinned annealed copper twisted wire.
Use encoder cable with the specified specifications.
Noise interference because the 
encoder cable distance is too long.
The wiring distance must be 20 m (65.6 ft) 
max.
The encoder cable distance must be within the specified 
range.
Noise interference due to damaged 
encoder cable
Noise interference occurred to the signal 
line because the encoder cable is bent or its 
sheath damaged.
Correct the encoder cable layout.
Excessive noise to the encoder cable
Check if the encoder cable is bundled with a 
high-current line or near high-current line.
Change the encoder cable layout so that no surge is 
applied.
FG electrical potential varies by 
influence of such machines on the 
servomotor side as welder.
Check if the machine is correctly grounded.
Ground the machine separately from PG side FG.
SERVOPACK pulse counting error 
due to noise interference
Check if the signal line from the encoder 
receives influence from noise interference.
Take measures against noise for encoder wiring.
Excessive vibration and shock to the 
encoder
Vibration from machine occurred or servo-
motor mounting such as mounting surface 
precision, fixing, and alignment is incor-
rect.
Reduce vibration from machine or mount securely the 
servomotor.
Encoder fault
An encoder fault occurred. (no change in 
pulse count)
Replace the servomotor.
SERVOPACK fault
Check the multiturn data from SERVO-
PACK.
Replace the SERVOPACK.
Host controller multiturn data read-
ing error
Check the error detection at the host con-
troller.
Correct the error detection section of host controller.
Check if the host controller executes data 
parity check.
Execute the multiturn data parity check.
Check noise on the signal line between 
SERVOPACK and the host controller.
Noise influence at no parity check (as the above.)
