I have an Abnormal 5 Sub 0 failure.  What should I do?

This Abnormal can be caused by one of two reasons.  The most common reason is that the "Current Limit" presets (DATA No. 70,71,73) have been exceeded during the fastening.  Please refer to Chapter 7 in the manual for data setting.   If the system is using SAN-12 Axis Units, then this setting should be set to 12.0 (amps).  If the system is using SAN-40 Axis Units this setting should be set to 40.0 (amps).  
The other reason is due to no response from the Motor Resolver.  See below for causes.

From section 9.6.1 of the manual.
CODE 5-0 SERVO AMPLIFIER REPLY ERROR / NO REPLY FROM RESOLVER

The controller is trying to turn the tool assembly, but is not receiving any angle count back from the resolver to indicate that the tool is actually turning.

This abnormal is caused from only 5 items.

1. Current Limit presets (DATA No. 70,71,73) have been exceeded.

2. The motor cable is damaged or not connected

3. If the resolver cable is damaged.

4. When the resolver, motor, or the controller malfunctions.

5. If there is excessive binding in the fastener, transmission, or the spindle assembly.

RECOVERY:

1. Program proper Current limits for servo type. (SAN12 = 12.0, SAN40 = 40.0)

2. Verify that the motor cable is connected and not damaged.

3. Connect all spare tool cables to the existing tool.

4. Exchange tool and/or controller with known working units. Reinitialize the system after exchanges, noting any change in the location of the abnormal.

5. Inspect and correct any binding in the spindle assembly, transmission or fasteners.
