5.5 Indications
The power drive circuit in the SERVOPACK will turn OFF and the alarm status will be dis-
played if any error detection function shown in Table 5.2 operates. Details of the alarm will
be sent by a MECHATROLINK response message, the red indicator on the SERVOPACK will
light, and the alarm output (ALM, ALM-SG) will turn OFF. See Table 5.2 for more details on

tion, and then resume operation.
