8.1.2 Troubleshooting of Alarms
8-18
A.C92:
Encoder 
Communications
Timer Error
Noise interference occurred on 
the input/output signal line from 
the linear scale.
−
Take countermeasures against 
noise.
Excessive vibration and shocks 
were applied to the linear scale.
Check the operating environment.
Reduce the machine vibration or 
correctly install the linear servomo-
tor.
A linear scale fault occurred.
−
Turn the power supply OFF and 
then ON again. If the alarm still 
occurs, the linear servomotor may 
be faulty. Replace the linear servo-
motor.
A SERVOPACK fault occurred.
−
Turn the power supply OFF and 
then ON again. If the alarm still 
occurs, the SERVOPACK may be 
faulty. Replace the SERVOPACK.
A.CA0:
Encoder Parameter 
Error
A linear scale fault occurred.
−
Turn the power supply OFF and 
then ON again. If the alarm still 
occurs, the linear servomotor may 
be faulty. Replace the linear servo-
motor.
A SERVOPACK fault occurred.
−
Turn the power supply OFF and 
then ON again. If the alarm still 
occurs, the SERVOPACK may be 
faulty. Replace the SERVOPACK.
A.Cb0:
Encoder Echoback 
Error
The linear scale wiring and con-
tact are incorrect.
Check the linear scale wiring.
Correct the linear scale wiring.
Noise interference occurred due 
to incorrect specifications of the 
linear scale connection cables.
−
Use tinned annealed copper twisted-
pair or shielded twisted-pair cable 
with a core of at least 0.12 mm
2
.
Noise interference occurred 
because the wiring distance of the 
linear scale connection cables is 
too long.
−
The wiring distance must be 20 m 
max.
The FG potential varies because 
of influence from machines, such 
as welder, on the linear servomo-
tor side.
Check the cables and connectors for 
linear scale.
Make the grounding for the 
machine separately from linear 
scale side FG.
Excessive vibration and shocks 
were applied to the linear scale.
Check the operating environment.
Reduce the machine vibration or 
correctly install the linear servomo-
tor.
A linear scale fault occurred.
−
Turn the power supply OFF and 
then ON again. If the alarm still 
occurs, the linear servomotor may 
be faulty. Replace the linear servo-
motor.
A SERVOPACK fault occurred.
−
Turn the power supply OFF and 
then ON again. If the alarm still 
occurs, the SERVOPACK may be 
faulty. Replace the SERVOPACK.
