Introduction
A FANUC power supply alarm is one of the most common issues that can cause CNC machines to stop unexpectedly.FANUC power supply modules are the heart of the CNC system, providing stable DC power for servo and spindle amplifiers. When a fault occurs, it can cause machine downtime and system instability. Understanding the causes and repair methods of these power supply alarms can help you diagnose problems more effectively and restore production quickly.
At CNCFixtech, our technicians specialize in FANUC power supply repair, covering αi, βi various series units. In this guide, we summarize the most frequent FANUC power supply alarms, explain their causes, and share practical repair solutions.
Common FANUC Power Supply Alarm Types
| Alarm Code | Fault Description | Possible Cause | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| PIL Light OFF | Power indicator not illuminated after power ON | 1. No AC input power 2. Fault in power circuit | 1. Check AC 200V input at CX1 (R, S terminals) 2. Inspect internal circuit and repair if necessary |
| MCC Not Engaged | Main contactor fails to close | 1. Emergency stop not released 2. Terminal plug connection faulty 3. MCC contactor damaged 4. Power line broken | 1. Release E-stop and test circuit 2. Check plug K9 (JX1B) connection to JXB1 on SVM/SPM 3. Replace damaged MCC contactor or wire |
| STATUS LED ON, Alarm Displayed | Alarm code appears on 7-segment display | Internal fault in power supply module | Check alarm number and LED status, analyze fault based on alarm code |
| Alarm Code “01” | IPM (Intelligent Power Module) error in main circuit | 1. IGBT or IPM module failure 2. AC reactor degraded | 1. Replace IGBT or IPM after verifying cause 2. Replace AC reactor |
| Alarm Code “02” | Cooling fan not rotating | Fan motor failure | Repair or replace fan motor |
| Alarm Code “03” | Heatsink temperature rise abnormal | 1. Cooling fan fault 2. Poor cabinet ventilation 3. Overload | 1. Replace fan motor 2. Clean cooling system 3. Check for overload condition |
| Alarm Code “04” | DC bus voltage too low | 1. Power interruption 2. Low input voltage 3. Incorrect shutdown operation | Check power stability and follow proper shutdown procedures |
| Alarm Code “05” | DC charging not completed in time | 1. DC short circuit 2. Faulty charging resistor | 1. Inspect circuit and replace damaged parts 2. Replace resistor or line board |
| Alarm Code “06” | Abnormal input power | Input phase missing | Test power input circuit, replace faulty components |
| Alarm Code “07” | DC voltage too high | 1. High AC impedance 2. Regeneration circuit fault 3. IPM/IGBT failure | 1. Check impedance 2. Verify IR/IS terminals for overvoltage 3. Replace IPM/IGBT after confirming cause |
