Fanuc Alpha SVU Servo Amplifier Alarms
Get troubleshooting information Servo Alarms generated in your Alpha servo amplifier by selecting the alarm number that appears on the amplifiers 7 segment display. If only dashes appear on your amplifier please check your CNC message screen for Further information. These alarms relate to A06B-6089-Hxx series example A06B-6089-H206 and A06B-6090-Hxx series example A06B-6090-H006 Amplifiers.
| LED Indication | Alarm Type | Alarm Error Description |
| 1 | Over-Voltage (HV) | This occurs if the DC voltage of the main circuit power supply is abnormally high. |
| 2 | Low Control Power voltage (LV) | This occurs if the control power voltage is abnormally low. |
| 3 | Low DC link voltage (LVDC) | This occurs if the DC voltage of the main circuit power supply is abnormally low or the circuit breaker trips. |
| 4 | Regenerative discharge control circuit failure (DCSW) | This occurs if : – The short-time regenerative discharge energy is too high. – The regenerative discharge circuit is abnormal. |
| 5 | Over-regenerative discharge (DCOH) | This occurs if : – The average regenerative discharge energy is too high. – The transformer overheats. |
| 7 | Dynamic brake circuit failure (DBRLY) | This occurs if the relay contacts of the dynamic brake welds together. |
| 8 | L-axis over-current (HCL) | This occurs if an abnormally high current flows in the L-axis motor. |
| 9 | M-axis over-current (HCM) | This occurs if an abnormally high current flows in the M-axis motor. |
| 6 | L-and M-axis over-current (HCM) | This occurs if an abnormally high current flows in the L-and M-axes motor. |
| 8. | L-axis IPM (IPML) | This is detected by the IPM (intelligent power module) of the L-axis. (Note 1) |
| 9. | M-axis IPM (IPML) | This is detected by the IPM (intelligent power module) of the M-axis. (Note 1) |
| 6. | L-and M-axis IPM (IPMLM) | This is detected by the IPM (intelligent power module) of the L-and M-axes. (Note 1) |

Notes
1 The IPM can detect the following alarms.
– Over-current
– Over-heat
– Drop in IPM control power voltage
2 When the control power is separated from the main power, if the circuit breaker of the servo amplifier is off, low DC link voltage alarm (LVDC) is detected.
Actions to be taken if you have a alarm message
| LED | Alarm | Action |
| 1 | HV | (1) The three-phase input voltage is probably higher
than the rating. Check the voltage and correct it as
required. (2) The connection of the separate regenerative discharge unit is probably incorrect. Check the connection. (3) The resistor of the separate regenerative discharge unit is probably defective. Disconnect the wiring of the regenerative discharge unit and check the resistance. If it is not within +20% of the rating (described in Section 3. 5), replace the regenerative discharge unit. If any of the above three items does not fit the case, replace the servo amplifier |
| 2 | LV | (1) The single-phase input voltage (for control circuit)
is probably lower than the rating. Check the voltage and
correct it as required. (2) The emergency stop input signal is probably short- circuited. Remove the CX4 connector from the amplifier. If the alarm condition disappears, check the connection of the external cable. (3) For the type B interface,the pulse coder is probably short-circuited. Remove the JF* connector from the amplifier. If the alarm condition disappears, check the connection of the external cable. If any of the above three items does not fit the case, replace the servo amplifier |
| 3 | LVDC | (1) The circuit breaker is probably off. Check the
circuit breaker. (2) The three-phase input voltage is probably lower than the rating. Check the voltage and correct it as required. If either of the above two items does not fit the case, replace the Fanuc servo amplifier |
| 4 | DCSW | (1) The connection of the separate regenerative
discharge unit is probably incorrect. Check the connection.
(2) The resistor of the separate regenerative discharge unit is probably defective. Disconnect the wiring of the regenerative discharge unit and check the resistance. If it is not within +20% of the rating, replace the regenerative discharge unit. If either of the above two items does not fit the case, replace the servo amplifier |
| 5 | DCOH | (1) The average regenerative discharge energy is
probably too high. Reduce the frequency of
acceleration/deceleration. (2) The connection of the thermostat line to the separate regenerative discharge unit is probably incorrect. Check the connection. (3) The thermostat of the separate regenerative discharge unit is probably defective. Disconnect the wiring of the regenerative discharge unit, and check the thermostat. If the thermostat is open when the regenerative discharge unit is not hot, replace the regenerative discharge unit. 4) The transformer has probably overheated. Check the ambient temperature, motor output, and transform rating. If any of the above four items does not fit the case, replace the servo amplifier |
| 7 | DBRLY | The connection between the NC and servo amplifier is
probably incorrect. Check the connection. If the above items does not fit the case, replace the servo amplifier. |

(1) Check that following parameters are set to standard values. If they are not, normal current control is impossible.

(2) Disconnect the power wires from the amplifier terminals, and
release the emergency stop condition.
If an overcurrent alarm is
issued, replace the amplifier.
If an overcurrent alarm is not
issued, go to (3).
(3) Disconnect the power wires from the amplifier terminals, and
check the U, V, and W wires for isolation from the grounding wire
sequentially.
If they are isolated from the grounding wire, go to
(4) and (5).
If any of the power wires is short-circuited to the
grounding wire, disconnect the power wires from the motor connector,
and check the U, V, and W terminals of the motor for isolation from
the ground terminal sequentially.
If the U,V,or W terminal of the
motor is short-circuited to the ground terminal, replace the motor.
If they are isolated from the ground terminal,
replace the power
wires.
(4) Connect the wires again, and observe the motor
current (IR,IS)
waveforms when the motor is accelerating or decelerating.
If
the motor current waveforms are abnormal, replace the amplifier.
(5) Check that noise is induced on the motor current (IR, IS)
waveforms.
If there is noise,
shield the
wires and ground the shielding.
If there is no noise,
replace the
amplifier.
(6) If any of the above five items does
not fit the case, the Fanuc pulse coder, command cable or the hardware
inside the CNC is probably defective.

(1) Only the SVU1- 20 (A06B- 6089- H102) has a built- in fan. If this fan stops,an IPM alarm (“8.” in the LED indicator) is issued. So, if this is issued on the SVU1- 20, first check that the fan is rotating.
(2) After keeping the amplifier switched off for about ten
minutes, release the emergency stop condition.
If the alarm was
due to IPM overheat, it will not be issued this time because the IPM
is not hot any longer. The probable causes of IPM overheat include
high ambient temperature and excessively strict operating condition
for the motor. Check for these conditions.
If the IPM alarm is still issued, go to (3).
(3) Disconnect the power wires from the amplifier terminals, and
release the emergency stop condition.
If the IPM alarm is still issued, the probable cause is the
operation of the IPM protection function (overcurrent or power
supply failure). Replace the IPM or amplifier.
If the IPM alarm
is not issued, go to (4).
(4) Disconnect the power wires from the amplifier terminals, and
check the U, V, and W wires for isolation from the grounding wire
sequentially.
If they are isolated from the grounding wire, go to
(5) and (6). If any of the power wires is short- circuited to the
grounding wire, disconnect the power wires from the motor connector,
and check the U, V, and W terminals of the motor for isolation from
the ground terminal sequentially.
If the U, V, or W terminal of
the motor is short-circuited to the ground terminal, replace the
motor.
If they are isolated from the ground terminal, replace
the power wires.
(5) Connect the wires again,and observe the motor current (IR,
IS) waveforms when the motor is accelerating or decelerating.
If the motor current waveforms
are abnormal, replace the amplifier.
(6) Check to see if noise is induced on the motor current (IR,
IS) waveforms.
If there is noise, shield the wires and ground the
shielding.
If there is no noise, replace the amplifier.
(7) Any of the above six items does not fit the case,the pulse
coder, command cable or the hardware inside the Fanuc CNC is probably
defective.
