Precautions
• MR-J5-_G_-RJ and -MR-J5-_A_-RJ will be available in the future.
• In MR-J5, the alarm No. and warning No. are changed to be shown with three digits followed by one digit indicating the
detailed No., which were shown with two digits and one detailed No. in MR-J4 series.
1.1 Outline
When an error occurs in the servo system, the corresponding alarm and warning is displayed. When an alarm occurs, ALM
(Malfunction) turns off.
When an alarm or warning is displayed, take appropriate measures according to the following:
Page 13 Handling methods for alarms/warnings
Restrictions
• The following alarms are not recorded in the alarm history.
[AL. 010.1 Voltage drop in the control circuit power]
[AL. 037 Parameter error]
• With exception of [AL. 0F0 Tough drive warning], warnings are not recorded in the alarm history.
Precautions
• As soon as an alarm occurs, switch to the servo-off status and shut off the main circuit power supply.
• Cool the equipment for approximately 30 minutes.
• The alarm canceling method in [AL. 042 Servo control error] can be changed with [Pr. PL04.3 [AL. 042 Servo control error]
detection controller reset condition selection].
• If an alarm which is related to the communication error with the controller occurs, resetting the communication may not
cancel the alarm.
• The alarms which have "○" in the safety reset column of the alarm list must be canceled while all the safety observation
functions have stopped. The alarms cannot be canceled unless all the safety observation functions have stopped.
• After performing the check/action, cycle the power of the servo amplifier.
• If the alarm remains active even after the check/action of each alarm of detail number, the servo amplifier may be
malfunctioning. Replace the servo amplifier, and then check the repeatability.
• If the malfunction continues even after replacing the servo amplifier, there is a possibility that there is an abnormality in the
surrounding area.
• To prevent unexpected operation, when [AL. 25 Absolute position erased] occurs, perform homing again.
• To prevent malfunctions of the servo amplifier and servo motor, when any of the following alarms occurs, do not deactivate
the alarm repeatedly to resume. Remove the cause of occurrence and allow 30 minutes or more for cooling, and then
resume the operation.
[AL. 030 Regenerative error]
[AL. 045 Main circuit device overheat]
[AL. 046 Servo motor overheat]
[AL. 050 Overload 1]
[AL. 051 Overload 2]
• To prevent malfunctions of the servo amplifier and servo motor, when any of the following warnings occurs, do not cycle the
power of the servo amplifier repeatedly to resume. If the power of the servo amplifier is switched off/on during the warnings,
allow more than 30 minutes for cooling before resuming operation.
[AL. 091 Servo amplifier overheat warning]
[AL. 0E0 Excessive regenerative warning]
[AL. 0E1 Overload warning 1]
Alarm deactivation
After the cause of the alarm has been removed, the alarm can be deactivated by the methods marked "○" in the alarm
deactivation column. Alarms are deactivated by alarm reset, communication reset, or power cycling. Alarms can be canceled
by software reset, instead of power cycling.
Refer to "Alarm function" in the following manual.
