Possible case and confirmation method
ERR
"Network configurations verify error" occurs. In this case,
even when the ERR LED is lit, the network scanning can
be executed.
ON
This error also occurs when using FP7 MC Unit for the
first time as the information on the network configuration
is not downloaded to FP7 MC Unit.
"Network configurations verify error" may occur as the
rotary switches on Servo Amplifier A6B/A5B are not set to
ON
"00". Set the rotary switches to "00" and restart the power
supply.
The situation that the network configuration information
has been downloaded and the number of connected
OFF
servo amplifiers matches is possible. The network
scanning can be executed.
