Check the servo amplifier 7-segment LED display for sub-alarm codes (8=L axis abnormal current, 9=M axis abnormal current, A=N axis abnormal current) to identify which axis component is affected.

Navigate to DIAGNOSIS > #200 (Servo Alarm Code) and #204 (Servo Alarm Sub-Code) on the CNC control panel to identify detailed fault information for the affected axis.

With machine power OFF and LOTO applied, disconnect motor power cables (U, V, W) at both amplifier and motor ends. Use a megohm meter (500V DC) to test insulation resistance between each phase conductor and ground, and between phases. Acceptable reading should be >10MΩ.

HIGH VOLTAGE: Discharge amplifier capacitors and wait minimum 5 minutes after power-off before touching cables. Use proper PPE and insulated tools.

Inspect motor power cable routing for pinch points, cable track damage, or contact with sharp edges. Replace cables if insulation damage, conductor exposure, or megger test failure is detected. Use only Fanuc-specified shielded motor power cables with proper grounding.

After confirming motor and cable integrity, check DIAGNOSIS > #200 and #204 for persistent fault codes. If codes indicate amplifier-side detection errors with confirmed good motor/cables, IPM failure is probable.

Inspect the servo amplifier for visible signs of IPM failure: burn marks on PCB, bulging capacitors, or thermal discoloration near the heat sink area. Check cooling fan operation on amplifier.

With motor cables disconnected, attempt to clear the alarm and observe if alarm 414 persists during power-up sequence (before servo-on). If alarm occurs with motor disconnected, amplifier IPM or detection circuit is faulty.

Do not attempt repeated power cycles if burning smell or smoke is detected. Tag amplifier for replacement.

Replace the servo amplifier module with identical Fanuc part number. After replacement, verify parameter set matches using SYSTEM > PARAM and check axis-specific servo parameters (SV001-SV099 series). Perform servo tuning verification and test run.

Check DIAGNOSIS > #300-#304 (Pulse Coder Feedback) and #30A-#30F (Encoder Serial Communication) for the affected axis. Compare values during slow manual jog to verify smooth, continuous feedback without dropouts or erratic values.

Inspect encoder cable (typically separate from motor power cable) for damage, proper connector seating at both motor and amplifier ends. Check for contamination or bent pins in encoder connectors. Verify shield ground continuity.

Handle encoder connectors carefully - bent pins can cause permanent encoder damage requiring motor replacement on integral encoder types.

Review servo parameters SV024 (Position Loop Gain), SV020 (Velocity Loop Gain), and SV036 (Feedforward Coefficient) for the affected axis. Compare against parameter backup or OEM baseline to ensure no inadvertent changes have increased system gain causing oscillation and overcurrent.

If encoder feedback diagnostics show erratic values with good cable condition, encoder replacement is required. For serial pulse coder systems (αi series), verify power supply voltage at encoder using DIAGNOSIS > #398 (Encoder Power Monitor).
