AL. 585
FSoE communication error 1 (safety sub-function)


(Includes sub-codes 585.1 to 585.9, A to F)

Cause:

There is a problem with data reception in the safety communication (During initial communication). Specific causes include:

  • Safety communication settings of FSoE Master are incorrect.

  • Problem with FSoE Master (alarm occurred).

  • Network cable disconnected or wiring incorrect.

  • Devices on network (hubs/repeaters) are turned off.

  • Network disconnected by incorrect procedure.

  • Data transmission interrupted by noise or environment.

  • Servo amplifier or Controller hardware malfunction.





Remedy:

  • Review safety communication settings (refer to manual).

  • Check FSoE Master for alarms and troubleshoot.

  • Turn off control circuit power, then reconnect network cable correctly.

  • Check that all network devices (hubs) are turned on.

  • Check noise, ambient temperature, and implement countermeasures.

  • Replace the servo amplifier, controller, or network devices if malfunctioned.


AL. 586
FSoE communication error 2 (safety sub-function)


(Includes sub-codes 586.1 to 586.D)

Cause:

There is a problem with data reception in the safety communication (During runtime communication).

  • The update time of safety communication exceeded the time set in FSoE Watchdog Time.

  • Network cable issues, noise, or hardware malfunction (same as AL. 585).





Remedy:

  • Review the setting value of FSoE Watchdog Time in FSoE Master.

  • Review the communication cycle setting.

  • Check network cables, connections, and noise environment.

  • Replace hardware if necessary.


AL. 587
FSoE communication error 3 (safety sub-function)

Cause:

There is a problem with the safety communication. Causes are identical to AL. 585 (Settings, Cable, Noise, Hardware).



Remedy:

  • Review safety communication settings.

  • Check network cabling and power to network devices.

  • Implement noise reduction techniques.

  • Replace servo amplifier or controller if malfunctioned.


AL. 595
STO command off warning (safety sub-function)

Cause:

The STO command of the functional safety has been turned off (enabled).



Remedy:

  • Turn on (disable) the STO command of the functional safety.


AL. 596
SS1 time-out warning (safety sub-function)

Cause:

1. The time set in [Pr. PSA03 SS1/SS2 deceleration monitor time] has passed after the SS1 command was turned off.

2. Speed did not fall below the stop speed [Pr. PSA04] within the delay time [Pr. PSA15].



Remedy:

  • Turn on (disable) the SS1 command.

  • Review deceleration monitor time and speed detection delay time settings.


AL. 59D
Internal diagnosis error (safety sub-function)

Cause:

1. The servo amplifier has malfunctioned.

2. There is a problem with the surrounding environment (noise/temperature).



Remedy:

  • Replace the servo amplifier.

  • Check noise, ambient temperature, and implement countermeasures.


AL. 5E0
Safety input device fixing diagnosis incomplete warning

Cause:

1. A fixing diagnosis at startup has not been executed.

2. Fixing diagnosis set incorrectly in parameters.

3. Incorrect wiring.

4. Servo amplifier malfunction.

5. Environmental noise.



Remedy:

  • Check if a fixing diagnosis at startup has been executed.

  • Check [Pr. PSD27 Input device – Fixing diagnosis] setting.

  • Check if the wiring is correct.

  • Replace the servo amplifier.

  • Implement noise reduction techniques.


AL. 5E1
Test mode setting mismatch warning (safety sub-function)

Cause:

The test operation mode has been set incorrectly.



Remedy:

  • Check if the servo amplifier and [Pr. PSA01.1 Input mode selection] are both set for test mode. If they do not match, review the settings.


AL. 5E2
Safety communication warning (safety sub-function)

Cause:

1. Connection with the controller has not been established.

2. The safety communication settings are incorrect.

3. The IP address was changed after connecting to the controller.



Remedy:

  • Check if the display shows “A” (unconnected).

  • Review “Safety sub-function control by network” settings in the manual.

  • If the IP address was changed, cycle the power.


AL. 5E6
SS1 command off warning (safety sub-function)

Cause:

1. The SS1 command has been turned off (enabled).

2. An external 24 V DC power supply has not been input to CN8.
