Fanuc Series 0 Model A/B/C Alarms

Fanuc series 0 alarms or known as the 900 system alarms listing faults and error codes. Followed by 300 alarms (Communication alarms) and 400 series alarms (axis and spindle alarms). These systems are commonly refered to as Fanuc Series 0-T and 0-M.

This page details the alarm code, type (name of the alarm and what is normally posted on the Series 0 display and a description of the alarm/error.

Series 0 Servo Alarms
400
SERVO ALARM: 1, 2TH AXIS OVERLOAD
1-axis, 2-axis overload signal is on.
401
SERVO ALARM: 1, 2TH AXIS VRDY OFF
1-axis, 2-axis servo amplifier READY signal (DRDY) went off.
402

3 axis, 4 axis overload signal is on.
403
SERVO ALARM: 3, 4TH AXIS VRDY OFF
3-axis, 4 axis servo amplifier READY signal (DRDY) went off.
404
SERVO ALARM: n-TH AXIS VRDY ON
Even though the n-th axis ( axis 1-8) READY signal ( DRDY) is still on. Or, when the power was turned on, DRDY went on even though MCON was off.
405
SERVO ALARM: ZERO POINT RETURN FAULT
Position control system fault.
406
SERVO ALARM: 7, 8TH AXIS OVERLOAD
7TH, 8TH AXIS VRDY OFF
7-axis, 8-axis overload signal is on.
4n0
SERVO ALARM: n-TH AXIS -EXCESS ERROR
The position deviation value when the n-th  axis stops is larger than the set value.
4n1
SERVO ALARM: n-AXIS-EXCESS ERROR
The position deviation value when the n-th axis stops is larger than the set value.
4n3
SERVO ALARM: n-th AXIS -LSI OVERFLOW
The contents of the error register for the n-th axis exceeded power.
4n4
SERVO ALARM: n-TH AXIS DETECTION RELATED ERROR
N-th axis digital servo system fault.
4n5
SERVO AALRM: n-TH AXIS- EXCESS SHIFT

Position detection system fault in the n-th axis pulse coder ( disconnecton alarm).
4n7
SERVO ALARM: n-TH AXIS-PARAMETER INCORRECT
This alarm occurs when the n-th axis is in one of the conditions below:
The value set in Parameter no 8n20 (motor form) is out of the specified limit.
 A proper value ( 111 or -111) is not set in parameter no 8n22.( motor revolution direction).
Illegal data ( a value below 0, etc) was set in parameter No 8n23 ( number of speed feedback pulses per motor revolution)
Illegal data ( a value below 0, etc) was set in parameter No 8n24 ( number of speed feedback pulses per motor revolution)
Parameters No. 8n84 and No. 8n85 (flexible field gear rate) have not been set.
An axis selection parameter ( from No.269 to 274 is incorrect.
An overflow occured during parameter computation.
490
