3 USER SAFETY
User safety is the primary safety consideration. Because it is very dangerous to enter the operating
space of the robot during automatic operation, adequate safety precautions must be observed.
The following lists the general safety precautions. Careful consideration must be made to ensure user
safety.
(1) Have the robot system users attend the training courses held by FANUC.
FANUC provides various training courses. Contact our sales office for details.
(2) Even when the robot is stationary, it is possible that the robot is still in a ready to move state, and is
waiting for a signal. In this state, the robot is regarded as still in motion. To ensure user safety,
provide the system with an alarm to indicate visually or aurally that the robot is in motion.
(3) Install a safety fence with a gate so that no user can enter the work area without passing through the
gate. Install an interlocking device, a safety plug, and so forth in the safety gate so that the robot is
stopped as the safety gate is opened.
The controller is designed to receive this interlocking signal of the door switch. When the gate
is opened and this signal received, the controller stops the robot (Please refer to "STOP
TYPE OF ROBOT" in "SAFETY PRECAUTIONS" for detail of stop type). For connection,
see Fig. 3 (b).
(4) Provide the peripheral equipment with appropriate earth (Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D).
(5) Try to install the peripheral equipment outside the robot operating space.
(6) Draw an outline on the floor, clearly indicating the range of the robot operating space, including the
tools such as a hand.
(7) Install a mat switch or photoelectric switch on the floor with an interlock to a visual or aural alarm
that stops the robot when a user enters the work area.
(8) If necessary, install a safety lock so that no one except the user in charge can turn on the power of
the robot.
The circuit breaker installed in the controller is designed to disable anyone from turning it on
when it is locked with a padlock.
(9) When adjusting each peripheral equipment independently, be sure to turn off the power of the robot.
(10) Operators should be ungloved while manipulating the operator panel or teach pendant. Operation
with gloved fingers could cause an operation error.
s-2
B-83525EN/06SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(11) Programs, system variables, and other information can be saved on memory card or USB memories.
Be sure to save the data periodically in case the data is lost in an accident. (refer to Controller
OPERATOR’S MANUAL.)
(12) The robot should be transported and installed by accurately following the procedures recommended
by FANUC. Wrong transportation or installation may cause the robot to fall, resulting in severe
injury to workers.
(13) In the first operation of the robot after installation, the operation should be restricted to low speeds.
Then, the speed should be gradually increased to check the operation of the robot.
(14) Before the robot is started, it should be checked that no one is inside the safety fence. At the same
time, a check must be made to ensure that there is no risk of hazardous situations. If detected, such a
situation should be eliminated before the operation.
(15) When the robot is used, the following precautions should be taken. Otherwise, the robot and
peripheral equipment can be adversely affected, or workers can be severely injured.
- Avoid using the robot in a flammable environment.
- Avoid using the robot in an explosive environment.
- Avoid using the robot in an environment full of radiation.
- Avoid using the robot under water or at high humidity.
- Avoid using the robot to carry a person or animal.
- Avoid using the robot as a stepladder. (Never climb up on or hang from the robot.)
- Outdoor
(16) When connecting the peripheral equipment related to stop (safety fence etc.) and each signal
(external emergency, fence etc.) of robot, be sure to confirm the stop movement and do not take the
wrong connection.
(17) When preparing footstep, please consider security for installation and maintenance work in high
place
according to Fig. 3 (c). Please consider footstep and safety belt mounting position.

3.1 SAFETY OF THE OPERATOR
An operator refers to a person who turns on and off the robot system and starts a robot program from, for
example, the operator panel during daily operation.
Operators cannot work inside of the safety fence.
(1) If the robot does not need to be operated, turn off the robot controller power or press the
EMERGENCY STOP button during working.
(2) Operate the robot system outside the operating space of the robot.
(3) Install a safety fence or safety door to avoid the accidental entry of a person other than an operator in
charge or keep operator out from the hazardous place.
(4) Install one or more necessary quantity of EMERGENCY STOP button(s) within the operator’ s reach
in appropriate location(s) based on the system layout.
The robot controller is designed to be connected to an external EMERGENCY STOP button.
With this connection, the controller stops the robot operation (Please refer to "STOP TYPE
OF ROBOT" in "SAFETY PRECAUTIONS" for detail of stop type) when the external
EMERGENCY STOP button is pressed. See the diagram below for connection.

3.2 SAFETY OF THE PROGRAMMER
While teaching the robot, the operator must enter the robot operation area. The programmer must ensure
the safety especially.
(1) Unless it is specifically necessary to enter the robot operating space, carry out all tasks outside the
operating space.
(2) Before teaching the robot, check that the robot and its peripheral equipment are all in the normal
operating condition.
(3) If it is inevitable to enter the robot operating space to teach the robot, check the locations, settings,
and other conditions of the safety devices (such as the EMERGENCY STOP button, the
DEADMAN switch on the teach pendant) before entering the area.
(4) The programmer must be extremely careful not to let anyone else enter the robot operating space.
(5) Programming should be done outside the area of the safety fence as far as possible. If programming
needs to be done inside the safety fence, the programmer should take the following precautions:
– Before entering the area of the safety fence, ensure that there is no risk of dangerous situations
in the area.
– Be prepared to press the emergency stop button whenever necessary.
– Robot motions should be made at low speeds.
– Before starting programming, check the whole robot system status to ensure that no remote
instruction to the peripheral equipment or motion would be dangerous to the user.
Our operator panel is provided with an emergency stop button and a key switch (mode switch) for selecting the
automatic operation (AUTO) and the teach modes (T1 and T2). Before entering the inside of the safety fence for
the purpose of teaching, set the switch to a teach mode, remove the key from the mode switch to prevent other
people from changing the operation mode carelessly, then open the safety gate. If the safety gate is opened with
the automatic operation set, the robot stops (Please refer to "STOP TYPE OF ROBOT" in "SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS" for detail of stop type). After the switch is set to a teach mode, the safety gate is disabled. The
programmer should understand that the safety gate is disabled and is responsible for keeping other people from
entering the inside of the safety fence.
Our teach pendant is provided with a DEADMAN switch as well as an emergency stop button. These button and
switch function as follows:
(1) Emergency stop button: Causes the stop of the robot (Please refer to "STOP TYPE OF ROBOT" in
"SAFETY PRECAUTIONS" for detail of stop type) when pressed.
(2) DEADMAN switch: Functions differently depending on the teach pendant enable/disable switch setting
status.
(a) Enable: Servo power is turned off when the operator releases the DEADMAN switch or when the
operator presses the switch strongly.
(b) Disable: The DEADMAN switch is disabled.
(Note) The DEADMAN switch is provided to stop the robot when the operator releases the teach pendant or
presses the pendant strongly in case of emergency. The R-30iB/R-30iB Mate employs a 3-position
DEADMAN switch, which allows the robot to operate when the 3-position DEADMAN switch is pressed
to its intermediate point. When the operator releases the DEADMAN switch or presses the switch
strongly, the robot stops immediately.
s-5
SAFETY PRECAUTIONSB-83525EN/06
The operator’s intention of starting teaching is determined by the controller through the dual operation of setting the
teach pendant enable/disable switch to the enable position and pressing the DEADMAN switch. The operator
should make sure that the robot could operate in such conditions and be responsible in carrying out tasks safely.
Based on the risk assessment by FANUC, number of operation of DEADMAN SW should not exceed about 10000
times per year.
The teach pendant, operator panel, and peripheral equipment interface send each robot start signal. However the
validity of each signal changes as follows depending on the mode switch and the DEADMAN switch of the operator
panel, the teach pendant enable switch and the remote condition on the software.

(6) To start the system using the operator box or operator panel, make certain that nobody is the robot
operating space area and that there are no abnormalities in the robot operating space.
(7) When a program is completed, be sure to carry out a test operation according to the following
procedure.
(a) Run the program for at least one operation cycle in the single step mode at low speed.
(b) Run the program for at least one operation cycle in continuous operation at low speed.
(c) Run the program for one operation cycle in continuous operation at the intermediate speed and
check that no abnormalities occur due to a delay in timing.
(d) Run the program for one operation cycle in continuous operation at the normal operating speed
and check that the system operates automatically without trouble.
(e) After checking the completeness of the program through the test operation above, execute it in
the automatic operation.
(8) While operating the system in the automatic operation, the programmer should leave the safety
fence.

3.3 SAFETY OF THE MAINTENANCE ENGINEER
For the safety of maintenance engineer personnel, pay utmost attention to the following.
(1) During operation, never enter the robot operating space.
(2) A hazardous situation may arise when the robot or the system, are kept with their power-on during
maintenance operations. Therefore, for any maintenance operation, the robot and the system should
be put into the power-off state. If necessary, a lock should be in place in order to prevent any other
person from turning on the robot and/or the system. In case maintenance needs to be executed in the
power-on state, the emergency stop button must be pressed.
(3) If it becomes necessary to enter the robot operating space while the power is on, press the emergency
stop button on the operator box or operator panel, or the teach pendant before entering the range.
The maintenance worker must indicate that maintenance work is in progress and be careful not to
allow other people to operate the robot carelessly.
s-6
B-83525EN/06SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(4) When entering the area enclosed by the safety fence, the worker must check the whole robot system
in order to make sure no dangerous situations exist. In case the worker needs to enter the safety area
whilst a dangerous situation exists, extreme care must be taken, and whole robot system status must
be carefully monitored.
(5) Before the maintenance of the pneumatic system is started, the supply pressure should be shut off
and the pressure in the piping should be reduced to zero.
(6) Before the start of maintenance work, check that the robot and its peripheral equipment are all in the
normal operating condition.
(7) Do not operate the robot in the automatic operation while anybody is in the robot operating space.
(8) When you maintain the robot alongside a wall or instrument, or when multiple users are working
nearby, make certain that their escape path is not obstructed.
(9) When a tool is mounted on the robot, or when any movable device other than the robot is installed,
such as belt conveyor, pay careful attention to its motion.
(10) If necessary, have a user who is familiar with the robot system stand beside the operator panel and
observe the work being performed. If any danger arises, the user should be ready to press the
EMERGENCY STOP button at any time.
(11) When replacing a part, please contact your local FANUC representative. If a wrong procedure is
followed, an accident may occur, causing damage to the robot and injury to the user.
(12) When replacing or reinstalling components, take care to prevent foreign material from entering the
system.
(13) When handling each unit or printed circuit board in the controller during inspection, turn off the
circuit breaker to protect against electric shock.
If there are two cabinets, turn off the both circuit breaker.
(14) A part should be replaced with a part recommended by FANUC. If other parts are used, malfunction
or damage would occur. Especially, a fuse that is not recommended by FANUC should not be used.
Such a fuse may cause a fire.
(15) When restarting the robot system after completing maintenance work, make sure in advance that
there is no person in the operating space and that the robot and the peripheral equipment are not
abnormal.
(16) When a motor or brake is removed, the robot arm should be supported with a crane or other
equipment beforehand so that the arm would not fall during the removal.
(17) Whenever grease is spilled on the floor, it should be removed as quickly as possible to prevent
dangerous falls.
(18) The following parts are heated. If a maintenance user needs to touch such a part in the heated state,
the user should wear heat-resistant gloves or use other protective tools.
- Servo motor
- Inside the controller
- Reducer
- Gearbox
- Wrist unit
(19) Maintenance should be done under suitable light. Care must be taken that the light would not cause
any danger.
(20) When a motor, reducer, or other heavy load is handled, a crane or other equipment should be used to
protect maintenance workers from excessive load. Otherwise, the maintenance workers would be
severely injured.
(21) The robot should not be stepped on or climbed up during maintenance. If it is attempted, the robot
would be adversely affected. In addition, a misstep can cause injury to the worker.
(22) When performing maintenance work in high place, secure a footstep and wear safety belt.
(23) After the maintenance is completed, spilled oil or water and metal chips should be removed from
the floor around the robot and within the safety fence.
(24) When a part is replaced, all bolts and other related components should put back into their original
places. A careful check must be given to ensure that no components are missing or left not mounted.
(25) In case robot motion is required during maintenance, the following precautions should be taken :
s-7
SAFETY PRECAUTIONSB-83525EN/06
- Foresee an escape route. And during the maintenance motion itself, monitor continuously the
whole robot system so that your escape route will not become blocked by the robot, or by peripheral
equipment.
- Always pay attention to potentially dangerous situations, and be prepared to press the emergency
stop button whenever necessary.
(26) The robot should be periodically inspected. (Refer to the robot mechanical manual and controller
maintenance manual.) A failure to do the periodical inspection can adversely affect the performance
or service life of the robot and may cause an accident
(27) After a part is replaced, a test execution should be given for the robot according to a predetermined
method. (See TESTING section of “Controller operator’s manual”.) During the test execution, the
maintenance worker should work outside the safety fence.
4 SAFETY OF THE TOOLS AND
PERIPHERAL DEVICES
4.1 PRECAUTIONS IN PROGRAMMING
(1) Use a limit switch or other sensor to detect a dangerous condition and, if necessary, design the
program to stop the robot when the sensor signal is received.
(2) Design the program to stop the robot when an abnormality occurs in any other robots or peripheral
equipment, even though the robot itself is normal.
(3) For a system in which the robot and its peripheral equipment are in synchronous motion, particular
care must be taken in programming so that they do not interfere with each other.
(4) Provide a suitable interface between the robot and its peripheral equipment so that the robot can
detect the states of all devices in the system and can be stopped according to the states.
4.2 PRECAUTIONS FOR MECHANISM
(1) Keep the component cells of the robot system clean, operate the robot where insulated from the
influence of oil, water, and dust.
(2) Don’t use unconfirmed liquid for cutting fluid and cleaning fluid.
(3) Adopt limit switches or mechanical stoppers to limit the robot motion, and avoid the robot from
collisions against peripheral equipment or tools.
(4) Observe the following precautions about the mechanical unit cables. Failure to follow precautions
may cause problems.
• Use mechanical unit cable that have required user interface.
• Do not add user cable or hose to inside of the mechanical unit.
• Please do not obstruct the movement of the mechanical unit when cables are added to outside
of mechanical unit.
•In the case of the model that a cable is exposed, please do not perform remodeling (Adding a
protective cover and fix an outside cable more) obstructing the behavior of the outcrop of the
cable.
•When installing user peripheral equipment on the robot mechanical unit, please pay attention
that the device does not interfere with the robot itself.
(5) The frequent power-off stop for the robot during operation causes the trouble of the robot. Please
avoid the system construction that power-off stop would be operated routinely. (Refer to bad case
example.) Please perform power-off stop after reducing the speed of the robot and stopping it by
hold stop or cycle stop when it is not urgent. (Please refer to "STOP TYPE OF ROBOT" in
"SAFETY PRECAUTIONS" for detail of stop type.)
(Bad case example)
s-8
B-83525EN/06SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•Whenever poor product is generated, a line stops by emergency stop and power-off of the robot
is incurred.
•When alteration is necessary, safety switch is operated by opening safety fence and power-off
stop is incurred for the robot during operation.
• An operator pushes the emergency stop button frequently, and a line stops.
• An area sensor or a mat switch connected to safety signal operates routinely and power-off stop
is incurred for the robot.
•Power-off stop is regularly incurred due to an inappropriate setting for Dual Check Safety
(DCS).
(6) Power-off stop of Robot is executed when collision detection alarm (SRVO-050) etc. occurs. Please
try to avoid unnecessary power-off stops. It may cause the trouble of the robot, too. So remove the
causes of the alarm.
5 SAFETY OF THE ROBOT MECHANISM
5.1 PRECAUTIONS IN OPERATION
(1) When operating the robot in the jog mode, set it at an appropriate speed so that the operator can
manage the robot in any eventuality.
(2) Before pressing the jog key, be sure you know in advance what motion the robot will perform in the
jog mode.
5.2 PRECAUTIONS IN PROGRAMMING
(1) When the operating spaces of robots overlap, make certain that the motions of the robots do not
interfere with each other.
(2) Be sure to specify the predetermined work origin in a motion program for the robot and program the
motion so that it starts from the origin and terminates at the origin. Make it possible for the operator
to easily distinguish at a glance that the robot motion has terminated.
5.3 PRECAUTIONS FOR MECHANISMS
Keep the robot operation area clean, and operate the robot in an environment free of grease, water, and
dust.
5.4 PROCEDURE TO MOVE ARM WITHOUT DRIVE POWER
IN EMERGENCY OR ABNORMAL SITUATIONS
For emergency or abnormal situations (e.g. persons trapped in or pinched by the robot), brake release unit
can be used to move the robot axes without drive power.
Please refer to controller maintenance manual and mechanical unit operator’s manual for using method of
brake release unit and method of supporting robot.
s-9
SAFETY PRECAUTIONSB-83525EN/06
6 SAFETY OF THE END EFFECTOR
6.1 PRECAUTIONS IN PROGRAMMING
(1) To control the pneumatic, hydraulic and electric actuators, carefully consider the necessary time
delay after issuing each control command up to actual motion and ensure safe control.
(2) Provide the end effector with a limit switch, and control the robot system by monitoring the state of
the end effector.
7 STOP TYPE OF ROBOT
The following three robot stop types exist:
Power-Off Stop (Category 0 following IEC 60204-1)
Servo power is turned off and the robot stops immediately. Servo power is turned off when the robot is
moving, and the path of the deceleration is uncontrolled.
The following processing is performed at Power-Off stop.
- An alarm is generated and servo power is turned off.
- The robot operation is stopped immediately. Execution of the program is paused.
Frequent Power-Off stop of the robot during operation can cause failures of the robot.
Avoid system designs that require routine or frequent Power-Off stop conditions.
Controlled stop (Category 1 following IEC 60204-1)
The robot is decelerated until it stops, and servo power is turned off.
The following processing is performed at Controlled stop.
- The alarm "SRVO-199 Controlled stop" occurs along with a decelerated stop. Execution of the
program is paused.
- An alarm is generated and servo power is turned off.
Hold (Category 2 following IEC 60204-1)
The robot is decelerated until it stops, and servo power remains on.
The following processing is performed at Hold.
- The robot operation is decelerated until it stops. Execution of the program is paused.
WARNING
The stopping distance and stopping time of Controlled stop are longer than the
stopping distance and stopping time of Power-Off stop. A risk assessment for
the whole robot system, which takes into consideration the increased stopping
distance and stopping time, is necessary when Controlled stop is used.
When the emergency stop button is pressed or the FENCE is open, the stop type of robot is Power-Off
stop or Controlled stop. The configuration of stop type for each situation is called stop pattern. The stop
pattern is different according to the controller type or option configuration.
The following table indicates the Stop pattern according to the controller type or option configuration.
Option
Standard A (*)
Controlled stop by E-Stop (A05B-2600-J570) C (*)
R-30iB/ R-30iB Mate
(*) R-30iB / R-30iB Mate does not have servo disconnect. / R-30iB Mate does not have SVOFF
input.
The stop pattern of the controller is displayed in "Stop pattern" line in software version screen. Please
refer to "Software version" in operator's manual of controller for the detail of software version screen.
"Controlled stop by E-Stop" option
When "Controlled stop by E-Stop" (A05B-2600-J570) option is specified, the stop type of the following
alarms becomes
Controlled stop but only in AUTO mode. In T1 or T2 mode, the stop type is Power-Off stop which is
the normal operation of the system.
Alarm Condition
SRVO-001 Operator panel E-stop Operator panel emergency stop is pressed.
SRVO-002 Teach pendant E-stop Teach pendant emergency stop is pressed.
SRVO-007 External emergency stops External emergency stop input (EES1-EES11, EES2-EES21) is
open.
SRVO-408 DCS SSO Ext Emergency Stop In DCS Safe I/O connect function, SSO[3] is OFF.
SRVO-409 DCS SSO Servo Disconnect In DCS Safe I/O connect function, SSO[4] is OFF.
Controlled stop is different from Power-Off stop as follows:
- In Controlled stop, the robot is stopped on the program path. This function is effective for a system
where the robot can interfere with other devices if it deviates from the program path.
- In Controlled stop, physical impact is less than Power-Off stop. This function is effective for
systems where the physical impact to the mechanical unit or EOAT (End Of Arm Tool) should be
minimized.
- The stopping distance and stopping time of Controlled stop is longer than the stopping distance and
stopping time of Power-Off stop, depending on the robot model and axis. Please refer to the
operator's manual of a particular robot model for the data of stopping distance and stopping time.
When this option is loaded, this function cannot be disabled.
s-11
SAFETY PRECAUTIONSB-83525EN/06
The stop type of DCS Position and Speed Check functions is not affected by the loading of this option.
WARNING
The stopping distance and stopping time of Controlled stop are longer than the
stopping distance and stopping time of Power-Off stop. A risk assessment for
the whole robot system, which takes into consideration the increased stopping
distance and stopping time, is necessary when this option is loaded.

(Action 1) Check the robot connection cable (RMP1, RP1) and the internal cable of the robot
and motor brakes connected to CRR88 connector on the 6-Axis servo amplifier.
If a short-circuit or grounding fault is found, replace the failed part.
(Action 2) Check the cables and motor brakes connected to CRR65A, CRR65B connector on
the 6-Axis servo amplifier. If a short-circuit or grounding fault is found, replace the
failed part.
(Action 3) Replace the 6-Axis servo amplifier.
CAUTION
This error can be caused by the optional brake release unit if the on/off switch is
left in on position while the operator attempts to jog the robot. To recover, turn
the brake release unit off and cycle the controller power.
SRVO-021 SRDY off (Group:i Axis:j)
(Explanation) The HRDY is on and the SRDY is off, although there is no other cause of an alarm.
(HRDY is a signal with which the host detects the servo system whether to turn on or
off the servo amplifier magnetic contactor. SRDY is a signal with which the servo
system informs the host whether the magnetic contactor is turned on.)
If the servo amplifier magnetic contactor cannot be turned on when directed so, it is
most likely that a servo amplifier alarm has occurred. If a servo amplifier alarm has
been detected, the host will not issue this alarm (SRDY off). Therefore, this alarm
indicates that the magnetic contactor cannot be turned on for an unknown reason.
(Action 1) Make sure that the emergency stop board connectors CP5A, CRMA92, CRMB22,
and 6-Axis servo amplifier CRMA91 are securely attached to the servo amplifier.
In case of using aux. axis amplifier, make sure that the connectors CXA2A (6-axis
amplifier) or CXA2B (aux. axis amplifier) are securely attached to the servo
amplifier.
(Action 2) It is possible that an instant disconnection of power source causes this alarm. Check
whether an instant disconnection occurred.
(Action 3) Replace the E-stop unit.
(Action 4) Replace the servo amplifier.
SRVO-022 SRDY on (Group:i Axis:j)
(Explanation) When the HRDY is about to go on, the SRDY is already on. (HRDY is a signal
with which the host directs the servo system whether to turn on or off the servo
amplifier magnetic contactor. SRDY is a signal with which the servo system
informs the host whether the magnetic contactor is turned on.)
(Action 1) Replace the servo amplifier as the alarm message.
SRVO-023 Stop error excess (G:i A:j)
(Explanation) When the servo is at stop, the position error is abnormally large.
Check whether the brake is released through the clack sound of the brake or
vibration.
In case that the brake is not released.
(Action 1) If the brake is not released, check the continuity of the brake line in the robot
connection cable and the mechanical unit cable.
(Action 2) If the disconnection is not found, replace the 6-Axis servo amplifier or the servo
motor.
In case that the brake is released.
(Action 1) Check whether the obstacle disturbs the robot motion.

(Action 2) Make sure that connectors CNJ1A-CNJ6 are securely attached to the 6-Axis servo
amplifier.
(Action 3) Check the continuity of the robot connection cable and the internal robot power
cable.
(Action 4) Check to see if the load is greater than the rating. If greater, reduce it to within the
rating. (If the load is too great, the torque required for acceleration / deceleration
becomes higher than the capacity of the motor.
As a result, the motor becomes unable to follow the command, and an alarm is
issued.)
(Action 5) Check the input voltage to the controller is within the rated voltage and no phase is
lack.
Check each phase voltage of the CRR38A or CRR38B connector of the three-phase
power (200 VAC) input to the 6-Axis servo amplifier. If it is 210 VAC or lower,
check the line voltage. (If the voltage input to the 6-Axis servo amplifier becomes
low, the torque output also becomes low. As a result, the motor may become unable
to follow the command, hence possibly causing an alarm.).
(Action 6) Replace the servo amplifier.
(Action 7) Replace the motor of the alarm axis.
NOTE
Incorrect setting of the brake number causes this alarm.

(Explanation) The regenerative discharge energy was too high to be dissipated as heat. (To run
the robot, the servo amplifier supplies energy to the robot. When going down the
- 29 -
3. TROUBLESHOOTING MAINTENANCE B-83525EN/06
vertical axis, the robot operates from the potential energy. If a reduction in the
potential energy is higher than the energy needed for acceleration, the servo amplifier
receives energy from the motor. A similar phenomenon occurs even when no
gravity is applied, for example, at deceleration on a horizontal axis. The energy that
the servo amplifier receives from the motor is called the regenerative energy. The
servo amplifier dissipates this energy as heat. If the regenerative energy is higher
than the energy dissipated as heat, the difference is stored in the servo amplifier,
causing an alarm.)
(Action 1) This alarm may occur if the axis is subjected to frequent acceleration/deceleration or
if the axis is vertical and generates a large amount of regenerative energy.
If this alarm has occurred, relax the service conditions.
(Action 2) Check fuse (FS3) in the 6-Axis servo amplifier. If it has blown, remove the cause,
and replace the fuse.
(Action 3) The ambient temperature is excessively high. Or the regenerative resistor can't be
cooled effectively. Check the external fan unit and related fuses. Clean up the fun
unit, the regenerative resistor and the louver if they are dirty.
(Action 4) Make sure that the 6-Axis servo amplifier CRR63A and CRR63B connectors are
connected tightly. Then detach the cable from CRR63A and CRR63B connectors on
the 6-Axis servo amplifier, and check for continuity between pins 1 and 2 of the
cable-end connector. If there is no continuity between the pins, replace the
regenerative resistor.
(Action 5) Make sure that the 6-Axis servo amplifier CRRA11A and CRRA11B are connected
tightly, then detach the cables from CRRA11A and CRRA11B on the 6-Axis servo

(Explanation) The DC voltage (DC link voltage) of the main circuit power supply is abnormally
high.
(Action 1) Check the input voltage to the controller is within the rated voltage. And check the
setting of the transformer is correct.
(Action 2) Check the three-phase input voltage at the 6-Axis servo amplifier. If it is 240 VAC
or higher, check the line voltage. (If the three-phase input voltage is higher than
240 VAC, high acceleration/deceleration can cause in this alarm.)
(Action 3) Check that the load weight is within the rating. If it is higher than the rating, reduce
it to within the rating. (If the machine load is higher than the rating, the
accumulation of regenerative energy might result in the HVAL alarm even when the
three-phase input voltage is within the rating.)
(Action 4) Check that the CRRA11A and CRRA11B connectors of the 6-Axis servo amplifier
are attached firmly. Next, detach the cables then check the continuity between pins.

Relationships among the OVC, OHAL, and HC alarms

This section points out the differences among the OVC, OHAL, and HC alarms and describes the purpose
of each alarm.

OVC Overcurrent alarm Servo software
OHAL Overheat alarm Thermal relay in the motor

HC High current alarm Servo amplifier
- Purpose of each alarm
1) HC alarm (high current alarm)
If high current flow in a power transistor momentarily due to abnormality or noise in the control
circuit, the power transistor and rectifier diodes might be damaged, or the magnet of the motor might
be degaussed. The HC alarm is intended to prevent such failures.
2) OVC and OHAL alarms (overcurrent and overload alarms)
The OVC and OHAL alarms are intended to prevent overheat that may lead to the burnout of the
motor winding, the breakdown of the servo amplifier transistor, and the separate regenerative
resistor.
The OHAL alarm occurs when each built-in thermal relay detects a temperature higher than the rated
value. However, this method is not necessarily perfect to prevent these failures. For example, if
the motor frequently repeats to start and stop, the thermal time constant of the motor, which has a
large mass, becomes higher than the time constant of the thermal relay, because these two
components are different in material, structure, and dimension. Therefore, if the motor continues to
start and stop within a short time as shown in Fig. 3.5 (l), the temperature rise in the motor is steeper
than that in the thermal relay, thus causing the motor to burn before the thermal relay detects an
abnormally high temperature.

To prevent the above defects, software is used to monitor the current in the motor constantly in order to
estimate the temperature of the motor. The OVC alarm is issued based on this estimated temperature.
This method estimates the motor temperature with substantial accuracy, so it can prevent the failures
described above.
To sum up, a double protection method is used; the OVC alarm is used for protection from a short-time
overcurrent, and the OHAL alarm is used for protection from long-term overload. The relationship
between the OVC and OHAL alarms is shown in Fig.3.5 (m).

(Check 1) Check whether the ENBL signal for the peripheral-device control interface is on.
(Corrective action)
Put the peripheral-device control interface in the ENBL state.
(Check 2) Check whether the HOLD signal for the peripheral-device control interface is on.
Also check whether the HOLD lamp on the teach pendant is on.
(Corrective action)
If the HOLD signal of the peripheral device control interface is on, turn it off.
(Check 3) Check whether the previous manual operation has been completed.
(Corrective action)
If the robot cannot be placed in the effective area because of the offset of the speed
command voltage, which prevents the previous operation from being completed,
check the position deviation on the status screen, then change the setting.
(Check 4) Check whether the controller is in the alarm status.
(Corrective action)
Release the alarm.
