Causes and Fixes

1
LOCKOUT/TAGOUT - Secure power
Follow proper LOTO procedures before any electrical inspection.
2
Check power supply voltages
Verify DC bus voltage, 24V control voltage, and all power connections to the drive module.
3
Inspect power cables
Check for loose connections, damaged cables, or burnt contacts at drive power terminals.

Service Recommendedlow confidence

Call a technician if:

·Immediately - this is a complex hardware fault requiring specialized knowledge
·Any electrical work on drive systems
·Drive module replacement or configuration

Prevention

Validate programs using simulation or dry run
Refer to the control's programming manual for supported G-codes

Common Mistakes

Overlooking the specific block number in the alarm
Assuming all G-codes are universally supported
