– For the two axes whose servo axis numbers (settings of parame-
ter No. 1023) are an odd number followed by an even number (a
pair of axes 1 and 2 or axes 5 and 6, for example), a different
current control cycle is set for each of the axes.
– The requirements for slaves needed for the set current control
cycle, including the number, type, and connection method of
them, are not satisfied.
457 ILLEGAL HI HRV (250US) Use of high–speed HRV is specified although the current control
cycle is 200 µs.
458 CURRENT LOOP ERROR The current control cycle setting does not match the actual current
control cycle.
459 HI HRV SETTING ERROR Of two axes having adjacent servo axis numbers (parameter No.
1023), odd number and even number, high–speed HRV control can
be performed for one axis and not for the other.
460 n AXIS : FSSB DISCONNECT FSSB communication was disconnected suddenly. The possible
causes are as follows:
1) The FSSB communication cable was disconnected or broken.
2) The power to the amplifier was turned off suddenly.
3) A low–voltage alarm was issued by the amplifier.
461 n AXIS : ILLEGAL AMP INTERFACE The axes of the 2–axis amplifier were assigned to the fast type inter-
face.
462 n AXIS : SEND CNC DATA FAILED Because of an FSSB communication error, a slave could not receive
correct data.
463 n AXIS : SEND SLAVE DATA Because of an FSSB communication error, the servo system could
FAILED not receive correct data.
464 n AXIS : WRITE ID DATA FAILED An attempt was made to write maintenance information on the ampli-
fier maintenance screen, but it failed.
465 n AXIS : READ ID DATA FAILED At power–up, amplifier initial ID information could not be read.
466 n AXIS : MOTOR/AMP COMBINA- The maximum current rating for the amplifier does not match that for
TION the motor.
467 n AXIS : ILLEGAL SETTING OF The servo function for the following has not been enabled when an
AXIS axis occupying a single DSP (corresponding to two ordinary axes) is
specified on the axis setting screen.

(11)Serial spindle alarms

Number Message Contents

749 S–SPINDLE LSI ERROR It is serial communication error while system is executing after power
supply on. Following reasons can be considered.
1) Optical cable connection is fault or cable is not connected or cable
is cut.
2) MAIN CPU board or option 2 board is fault.
3) Spindle amp. printed board is fault.
4) The spindle amplifier is under an abnormal condition. (The SPM in-
dication is A, A1, A2, or the like, depending on the type of the ab-
normality.)
If this alarm occurs when CNC power supply is turned on or when this
alarm can not be cleared even if CNC is reset, turn off the power supply
also turn off the power supply in spindle side.
If the spindle amplifier is under an abnormal condition, check the SPM
indication (A, A1, A2, or the like). Then, refer to the FANUC SERVO MO-
TOR ai series MAINTENANCE MANUAL (B–65285EN) or FANUC
SERVO MOTOR a series MAINTENANCE MANUAL (B–65165E) to
solve the problem.
750 SPINDLE SERIAL LINK START This alarm is generated when the spindle control unit is not ready for
FAULT starting correctly when the power is turned on in the system with the
serial spindle.
The four reasons can be considered as follows:
1) An improperly connected optic cable, or the spindle control unit’s
power is OFF.
2) When the NC power was turned on under alarm conditions other
than SU–01 or AL–24 which are shown on the LED display of the
spindle control unit.
In this case, turn the spindle amplifier power off once and perform
startup again.
3) Other reasons (improper combination of hardware)
This alarm does not occur after the system including the spindle con-
trol unit is activated.
4) The second spindle (when SP2, bit 4 of parameter No. 3701, is 1)
is in one of the above conditions 1) to 3).
See diagnostic display No. 409 for details.
752 FIRST SPINDLE MODE CHANGE This alarm is generated if the system does not properly terminate a
FAULT mode change. The modes include the Cs contouring, spindle position-
ing, rigid tapping, and spindle control modes. The alarm is activated if
the spindle control unit does not respond correctly to the mode change
command issued by the NC.

PC006 CPU ERR
xxxxxxxx:yyyyyyyy If this error occurs, the motherboard may be faulty.
PC009 CPU ERR

PC010 CPU ERR occurs even after the replacement of the motherboard, report the conditions un-
xxxxxxxx:yyyyyyyy der which the error occurred (system configuration, operation, time and frequen-
cy of error occurrences, etc.) to FANUC.

2 PC030 RAM PARITY aa:bb A RAM parity error occurred in the PMC.
aa and bb indicate internal error code.

If this error occurs, the motherboard may be faulty.

Solution)
Replace the motherboard, then check whether the error recurs. If the error still
occurs even after the replacement of the motherboard, report the conditions un-
der which the error occurred (system configuration, operation, time and frequen-
cy of error occurrences, etc.) and the indicated internal error code to FANUC.

3 PC050 I/OLINK(CHx) A communication error occurred in the I/O Link.


aa:bb–aa:bb CHx is channel number.
or aa and bb indicate internal error code.
PC050 IOLINK CHx
aabb– aabb:aabb If this error occurs, the possible causes are as follows:
(1) Although the base expansion is assigned when the I/O Unit A is used, the
base is not connected.
(2) A cable is not connected securely.
(3) Cabling is faulty.
(4) I/O equipment (I/O unit, Power Mate, etc.) is faulty.
(5) The power to the master or slave unit of the I/O Link is disconnected.
(6) A DO–pin short–circuit occurred in an I/O device.
(7) The motherboard is faulty.

Solution)
(1) Check whether the I/O assignment data and the actual I/O equipment con-
nection match.
(2) Check whether the cables are connected correctly.
(3) According to “FANUC I/O Unit–MODEL A Connection and Maintenance
Manual” (B–61813E) or “FANUC I/O Unit–MODEL B Connection manual”
(B–62163E), check for an error in the cable specifications.
(4) Replace the I/O unit interface module, cable, or motherboard. Then, check
whether the error still occurs.

4 PC060 FBUS A bus error occurred in the PMC.

(LADDER)
PC098 PARITY ERR (DRAM) If this error occurred, the motherboard may be faulty.

Solution)
Replace the motherboard, then check whether the error recurs. If the error still
occurs even after the replacement of the motherboard, report the conditions un-

A. ALARM LIST APPENDIX B–63835EN/03

A.3
ALARM LIST When a serial spindle alarm occurs, the following number is displayed on
(SERIAL SPINDLE) the CNC. n is a number corresponding to the spindle on which an alarm
occurs. (n = 1: First spindle; n = 2: Second spindle; etc.)

NOTE*1
Note that the meanings of the SPM indications differ
depending on which LED, the red or yellow LED, is on.
When the red LED is on, the SPM indicates a 2–digit alarm
number. When the yellow LED is on, the SPM indicates an
error number that designates a sequence problem (for
example, when a rotation command is entered with the
emergency stop state not released).

ERROR CODES
(SERIAL SPINDLE) NOTE*1
Note that the meanings of the SPM indications differ
depending on which LED, the red or yellow LED, is on.
When the yellow LED is on, an error code is indicated with
a 2–digit number. The error code is not displayed on the
CNC screen.
When the red LED is on, the SPM indicates the number of
an alarm generated in the serial spindle.
