8.2.2 Troubleshooting of Warnings
Refer to the following table to identity the cause of a warning and the action to be taken. Contact your
Yaskawa representative if the problem cannot be solved by the described corrective action.

Corrective Actions
A.900
Position Error
Pulse Overflow
Wiring of the linear ser-
vomotor U, V, or W line 
is incorrect.
Check the wiring of the cable for lin-
ear servomotor main circuit.
Check whether there is any loose con-
nection in linear servomotor wiring or 
linear scale wiring.
The SERVOPACK gain 
is too low.
Check the SERVOPACK gain.
Increase the servo gain by using the 
function such as advanced autotuning.
The position reference 
acceleration is too high.
Lower the position reference acceler-
ation.
Apply a smoothing function, such as a 
position reference acceleration/decel-
eration time constant (Pn216).
The excessive position 
error alarm level 
(Pn520) is too low for 
the operating condi-
tions.
Check the excessive position error 
alarm level (Pn520).
Set an appropriate value for the 
Pn520.
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.901
Position Error
Pulse Overflow
Alarm at Servo
ON
When the linear servo-
motor power was OFF, 
the linear servomotor 
moved without clearing 
the counter for position 
error pulses. The num-
ber of position error 
pulses exceeded the 
maximum number of 
pulses allowed.
Check the error counter (Un008) in 
servo OFF state.
Make the setting so that the position 
error pulse is cleared when the linear 
servomotor power is OFF. 
Or, set an appropriate value for the 
excessive position error warning level 
at servo ON (Pn528).
A.910
Overload:
Warning before 
alarm A.710 or 
A.720 occurs 
The linear servomotor 
or linear scale wiring is 
incorrect or the connec-
tion is faulty.
Check the wiring.
Correct the linear servomotor and lin-
ear scale wiring if they are wrong.
The linear servomotor is 
in excess of the over-
load protective charac-
teristics.
Check the overload characteristics of 
the linear servomotor and reference 
input.
Reconsider the load and operation 
conditions.
Or, check the linear servomotor capac-
ity.
The linear servomotor is 
not driven due to a 
mechanical factor and 
the operating load has 
become excessive.
Check the reference input and motor 
speed.
Improve the mechanical factor.
A SERVOPACK fault 
occurred.
−
The SERVOPACK may be faulty. 
Replace the SERVOPACK.
A.911
Vibration
Abnormal vibration was 
detected while the linear 
servomotor was mov-
ing.
Check whether unusual sound is gen-
erated from the linear servomotor, 
and check the speed and force wave-
form of the linear servomotor.
Lower the motor speed or the lower 
the servo gain by using the function 
such as one-parameter tuning.
The mass ratio (Pn103) 
is larger than the actual 
value or greatly 
changes.
Check the mass value.
Set an appropriate value for the mass 
ratio (Pn103).
