A.C50:
Polarity Detection 
Error
Parameter settings are incorrect.
Check the linear scale specifications
and feedback signal status.
The settings of the linear scale pitch 
(Pn282) and motor phase selection 
(Pn080.1) may not match the actual 
product requirements. Set these 
parameters to the correct values.
Noise interference occurred on
the scale signal.
Check the wiring to see if:
• Each FG of the serial converter
unit and linear servomotor is con-
nected to the FG of the SERVO-
PACK.
• The FG of the SERVOPACK is
connected to the FG of the power 
supply.
• The linear scale connection
cables are securely shielded.
Check to see if the detection refer-
ence is repeatedly output in one 
direction.
Take measures to avoid noise inter-
ference by correctly connecting FG 
lines, shielding the linear scale con-
nection cables, etc.
An external force was applied to 
the motor moving coil.
−
The polarity cannot be properly 
detected if the detection reference is 
0 (zero), but the speed feedback is 
not 0 (zero) because of an external 
force, such as cable tension, applied 
to the motor moving coil.
Take measures to reduce the exter-
nal force so that the speed feedback 
becomes 0 for a 0 detection refer-
ence.
If external force cannot be reduced, 
increase the polarity detection speed 
loop gain (Pn481).
The linear scale resolution is too 
low.
Check the linear scale pitch to see if 
it is within 100 
μm.
If the linear scale pitch is 100
μm or
longer, the SERVOPACK cannot 
detect the correct speed feedback.
Use a scale pitch with higher accu-
racy (a pitch within 40 
μm recom-
mended.) Or, increase the value of 
the polarity detection reference 
speed (Pn485). However, note that 
increasing the value of Pn485 will 
widen the linear servomotor move-
ment range required for polarity 
detection.
A.C51:
Overtravel
Detection at Polarity 
Detection
An overtravel signal was detected 
during polarity detection.
Check the position after overtravel.
Perform the wiring for an overtravel 
signal. Execute polarity detection at 
a position where an overtravel sig-
nal is not detected.
A.C52:
Polarity Detection
Uncompleted
The servo has been turned ON 
under the following circum-
stances.
• An absolute linear scale is
being used.
• The polarity detection selection
for the absolute linear scale 
was set to not execute. 
(Pn587.0 = 0)
• Polarity was not yet detected.
−
When using an absolute linear 
scale, set the parameter Pn587.0 to 
1 to execute polarity detection.
A.C53:
Out of Range for 
Polarity Detection
The movement distance exceeded 
the set value of Pn48E in the mid-
dle of detection.
−
Increase the value of the polarity 
detection range (Pn48E). Or, 
increase the polarity detection speed 
loop gain (Pn481).
