    fanuc 18m 351 alarm

    I have a Supermax v65A with a fanuc 18MC controller.
    It used to produce a 351 x-axis alarm followed by a 414 alarm in X-axis. (most of the times, into a toolchange cycle).
    After a little investigation I found that the previous owner tried to replace the X encoder cable. Eventually, he didn't replace the whole cable but only half of it.
    I believed that was the problem together with some kind of cable-grounding error.
    I have replaced the cable by myself, but I still see from time to time a 351 x axis alarm, even when the machine is on and stoped (controller into MDI mode ).

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks
    Michael

    I swapped axis cables and error disappears.
    Any thoughts?

    Re: fanuc 18m 351 alarm

    Is it possible to have the problem due to a broken spark killer or diode, because most of the times, the alarm is happening during M06 cycle?
    Has anyone met anything similar?

    Thanks

    try to put some ferite core on your encoder cables if you do not have,might be some noise on your wires.

    I have tried ferrites but nothing changes.
    The fact that after I do a cable swap between X and Y axis and still the error is 351 x-axis alarm and not 351 y-axis alarm,I think it is not the servo drive.
    I have already tried a new encoder with no luck.
    Is this any possibility of a faulty CPU?

    you should have 2 axis card control on the mainboard,1 is for 1,2 axis and one is for 3,4 axis.
    Swap them and see if the alarm goes to Z or 4th axis.

    i was not talking about the driver that powers the motors,i was talking about the servo module cards from the main board,you should have 2 identical and u can swap them,just identify it and try.
    If you do not know and is hard for you to take out the mainboard just call Fanuc.

    Re: fanuc 18m 351 alarm

    I swap servo module a20b-2902-00700 of 1/2 axis with the same module of 3/4 axis.Problem still the same and most of the cases when in or after a while of a toolchange cycle?
    The manual suggests when #5(STB) and #6(CRC) is 1 then
    a) signal cable is disconnected
    b) serial pulse coder is faulty
    3) main cpu board is faulty (i don't have option board 2)

    Maybe I must change the main CPU board or any module of it?
