The manual prints placeholders; your controller fills them in with the real group, axis or number.

FANUC SRVO-216 (“SERVO OVC(total)”): There is a lack of DSP chip for the axis, which is set in the $AXISORDER system variable. First check: Check whether the number of the DSP is enough on the DSP board related to the axis number of $SCR_GRP[].$AXISORDER[].

Description

There is a lack of DSP chip for the axis, which is set in the $AXISORDER system variable.

Remedy

Check whether the number of the DSP is enough on the DSP board related to the axis number of $SCR_GRP[].$AXISORDER[]. Change the DSP board that has enough DSP. Or change the setting of $AXISORDER.

Field diagnosis

The sum of the currents of the six axes in the robot connection cable exceeds the allowable limit.

What to check

  • Slow down the most demanding motions, check the cycle rate and load against rated values, check the cabinet input voltage.
  • Note: Different from SRVO-046 (one axis): here it is the sum, so a program, not a motor.
