Axxa can provide you with more information on the meaning of your alarms and will help you diagnose the source of the problem by explaining the meaning of common FANUC alarm codes. Our technicians
Routinely Service the following Fanuc Servo Amplifiers:

We provide a fault diagnosis and a one-year warranty on all FANUC servo repairs and all Fanuc Servo purchases; new, refurbished or used.
In this blog we will mention the Fanuc Servo Amplifier Alarm Codes and their description.
Alarm Code Description
- (dash) |
Amplifier is not ready |
Blinking "-" |
(a) Disconnect the feedback cable (JF*) from the Servo Amplifier, and then switch on the power. <1> If blinking continues → Replace the Servo Amplifier. <2> If blinking stops → Go to (b). (b) Disconnect the feedback cable (JF*) from the Pulsecoder, and then switch on the power. (Keep the cable on the Servo Amplifier side connected.) <1> If blinking continues → Replace the cable. <2> If blinking stops → Replace the motor. |
