Reasons and Solutions for Servo Drive Reporting Fault Code FU208
The fault code FU208 on a Sinic Electric servo drive indicates an FPGA system sampling operation timeout. The main causes and solutions for this issue are as follows:
1. MCU Communication Timeout (Internal error code: P0B-45=1208)
Cause: Damaged internal chip.
Solution: Replace the servo drive.
2. Encoder Communication Timeout (Internal error code: P0B-45=2208)
Causes:
a. Incorrect encoder wiring.
b. Loose encoder cable connections.
c. Excessive encoder cable length.
d. Encoder signal interference.
e. Faulty encoder.
Solutions:
3. Current Sampling Timeout (Internal error code: P0B-45=3208)
Causes:
Solutions:
4. High-Precision AD Conversion Timeout (Internal error code: P0B-45=4208)
Cause:
5. FPGA Operation Timeout (Internal error code: P0B-45=0208)
Cause: Related to issues described in Causes 1/2/3/4.
Solution: Troubleshoot and resolve based on the methods outlined for Causes 1/2/3/4.
a. Recheck and correct encoder wiring.
b. Secure cable connections.
c. Shorten cable length or use shielded cables.
d. Eliminate sources of interference.
e. Replace the encoder if necessary.
a. Interference from large nearby equipment or multiple power converters/frequency drives in the cabinet.
b. Damaged internal current sampling chip.
a. Separate high-power and low-power wiring (avoid bundling them together).
b. Eliminate or shield interference sources.
c. Replace the servo drive if the chip is damaged.
Interference in high-precision AI channel wiring.
Solutions:
a. Refer to the correct wiring diagram to verify AI channel connections.
b. Use twisted-pair shielded cables and shorten the wiring length.
Note: Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and safety protocols during troubleshooting.
