A.CF1:
Feedback Option 
Module
Communications Error
(Reception error)
Wiring of cable between serial 
converter unit and SERVOPACK 
is incorrect or contact is faulty.
Check the linear scale wiring.
Correct the cable wiring.
The specified cable is not used 
between serial converter unit and 
SERVOPACK.
Confirm the linear scale wiring 
specifications.
Use the specified cable.
Cable between serial converter 
unit and SERVOPACK is too 
long.
Measure the length of the cable for 
connecting the serial converter unit.
The cable between serial converter 
unit and SERVOPACK must be 20 
m max.
Sheath of cable between serial 
converter unit and SERVOPACK 
is broken.
Check the cable for connecting the 
serial converter unit.
Replace the cable.
A.CF2:
Feedback Option 
Module
Communications Error
(Timer stop)
Noise interferes with the cable 
between serial converter unit and 
SERVOPACK.
−
Correct the wiring around serial 
converter unit, e.g., separating 
input/output signal line from main 
circuit cable or grounding.
A serial converter unit fault 
occurred.
−
Replace the serial converter unit.
A SERVOPACK fault occurred.
−
Replace the SERVOPACK.
A.d00:
Position Error Pulse 
Overflow 
(Position error exceeded 
the value set in the 
excessive position error 
alarm level (Pn520))
The contact in the linear servo-
motor U, V, and W wirings is 
faulty.
Check the linear servomotor main 
circuit cable connection.
Confirm that there is no contact 
fault in the linear servomotor wiring 
and linear scale wiring.
The SERVOPACK gains are too 
low.
Check the SERVOPACK gains to 
see if they are not too low.
Increase the servo gains (Pn100, 
Pn102, etc.)
The frequency of the position ref-
erence is too high.
Reduce the reference frequency, and 
operate the SERVOPACK.
Reduce the position reference fre-
quency or reference acceleration. 
Or, reconsider the electronic gear 
ratio.
The position reference accelera-
tion is too fast.
Reduce the reference acceleration, 
and operate the SERVOPACK.
Apply the smoothing function, such 
as using position reference accelera-
tion/deceleration time constant 
(Pn216).
Setting of the Pn520 (Excessive 
Position Error Alarm Level) is 
too low for the operating condi-
tion.
Check the alarm level (Pn520) to 
see if it is set to an appropriate 
value.
Set the Pn520 to proper value.
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.d01:
Position Error Pulse 
Overflow Alarm at
Servo ON
When setting not to clear position 
error, the linear servomotor 
moved while the servo was OFF, 
resulting in position error over-
flow.
Check the error counter (Un008) 
while the linear servomotor power 
is OFF.
Make the setting so that the position 
error is cleared when the servo is 
OFF. 
Or, correct the excessive position 
error alarm level at servo ON 
(Pn526).
A.d02:
Position Error Pulse 
Overflow Alarm by
Speed Limit at Servo
ON
The servo was turned ON while 
the position error accumulated, 
and the reference was input while 
the linear servomotor was run-
ning at the speed limit (Pn584). 
As a result, the position error 
count exceeded the excessive 
position error alarm level 
(Pn520).
–
Set position error to be cleared 
while in servo OFF status.
Or, correct the excessive position 
error alarm level (Pn520).
Or, adjust the speed limit level 
(Pn584) when servo turns ON.
A.d30:
Position Data 
Overflow
The position data exceeded 
±1879048192.
Check the reference counter 
(Un00C).
Reconsider the operating specifica-
tions.
