Chain fault on channel 1 of the SVOFF (servo-off) input - the two redundant SVOFF channels disagree.

What it means

Chain fault on channel 1 of the SVOFF (servo-off) input - the two redundant SVOFF channels disagree.

Common causes

Ranked by what technicians most often find, most likely first.

  1. Miswiring of the SVOFF signal - typical after integrating external safety devices onto the SVOFF input.
  2. One-channel contact fault in the connected device.

How to fix it

  1. With the controller de-energized and locked out, audit the SVOFF wiring on both channels end to end, and repair it per the maintenance manual with the controller still de-energized and locked out.
  2. After the repair, run the chain release: press and release an E-stop button on the pendant or operator panel, press F4 'RES_1CH' on the Alarm ACTIVE screen [4 Alarm / ACTIVE], then press RESET.
