                 <1>If the insulation is deteriorated. Go to (c).
                 <2>If the insulation is normal. Replace the SVM.
         (c)Disconnect the motor from its power leads, and check whether the insulation of the motor or power leads is deteriorated.
                <1>If the insulation of the motor is deteriorated. Replace the motor.
                <2>If the insulation of any power lead is deteriorated. Replace the power lead.
Alarm Code 8.9.A.
     (1)Meaning Inverter: IPM alarm
     (2)Cause and troubleshooting
             (a)Disconnect the motor power leads from the SVM, and release the SVM from an emergency stop condition.
                   <1>If no IPM alarm condition has
occurred. Go to (b).
                   <2>If an IPM alarm condition has occurred. Replace the SVM.
            (b)Disconnect the motor power leads from the SVM, and check the insulation between PE and the motor power lead U, V, or W.
                   <1>If the insulation is deteriorated. Go to (c).
                   <2>If the insulation is normal. Replace the SVM.
            (c)Disconnect the motor from its power leads, and check whether the insulation of the motor or power leads is deteriorated.
                   <1>If the insulation of the motor is deteriorated. Replace the motor.
                    <2>If the insulation of any power lead is deteriorated. Replace the power lead.
Alarm Code 8.9.A.
     (1)Meaning Inverter: IPM alarm (OH)
     (2)Cause and troubleshooting
             (a)Check that the heat sink cooling fan is running.
             (b)Check that the motor is being used at or below its continuous rating.
             (c)Check that the cooling capacity of the cabinet is sufficient (inspect the fans and filters).
             (d)Check that the ambient temperature is not too high.
             (e)Replace the SVM.
Alarm Code bcd
       (1)Meaning Abnormal inverter motor current
       (2)Cause and troubleshooting

Fanuc A06B-6050-H103 Servo Jumper Settings

When replacing a Fanuc A06B-6050-H103 Servo unit you should check to make sure the replacement servo has the same top board, part number A20B-1000-0560. After this part number there will be a “/” and then something similar to “05A” which denotes the revision of the board. Ideally you would match your original unit with a replacement unit that has the same board, but if that’s not possible then all you would need to do is reconfigure the jumpers on the board. The table below shows how to get this set up so you can get your servo back up and running right away. Search for more FANUC motors/drives on our website.

MRO Electric and Supply maintains a comprehensive stock of new and used FANUC CNC and FANUC Robots parts. If you need a FANUC replacement part, please call 800-691-8511 or email sales@mroelectric.com.

Fanuc Alarm 466 – Z Axis: Motor/Amp Combination

We just shipped out a Fanuc A06B-6096-H207 Servo Amp unit to a customer, and as soon as they installed the amplifier they got a Fanuc Alarm 466 which refers to the Z Axis: Motor/Amp Combination. This is obviously somewhat distressing for a customer to buy a replacement unit and immediately get an alarm when it is installed, but fortunately this is an easy fix.

This Alarm 466 comes from the replacement amplifier having newer servo software than the unit that it is replacing. As Fanuc has made newer units they’ve upgraded the software/hardware within these amplifiers, so you just need to reset a parameter to reboot the configuration and clear the 466 Alarm. The steps are below.

– Put the machine in Emergency Stop
– Go to parameter 2165 on the control
– Set all the values to 0
– Take the machine out of emergency stop

Once these parameters are changed and the machine is rebooted, the alarm will clear and the amplifier will initialize. We also have pictures below to confirm that you know what to look for. For any additional help, call us at 800-691-8511 or email sales@mroelectric.com.
