Message Description
S--CURVEOPTION NOT INSTALLED An attemptwasmadetoselectS-- CurveAcc/Dec (G47.1)when the S--Curveoptionbitwasset
tofalse. Makesureyour systemincludesthe S--Curve option.
SNOT LEGAL PROGRAMMINGAXIS NAME Thisis displayed atpower-upwhen theletter“S”isassigned to linearorrotaryaxis. Only the
spindle(s)can be AMPed with“S”as the name;itcannotbeassignedtoa programmable axis.
S OVER SPEED Aservomotoris turning atanRPMthat is greaterthan the maximumRPMallowed forthat
servo as defined in AMPby th e systeminstaller. Fordig ital spindles this error can result from
maximumRPMgearrange 1 being sethigherthan your AMPedallowedMaximumMotor
Speed.
SAVE COMPLETED Thechanges made to the currentdevice set-up have beensaved.
SCALE FACTORS MUST BE EQUAL FOR PLANE When performing circularmotion ormotionin certain cycles,keep thescale factorsforthe axes
ofthe active plane equal.
SCALINGINVALIDDURING POLAR Scalingcannotbe usedduring polarprogramming.

SECONDARYAUX. WORD SAMEAS AXISNAME The secondary auxiliaryword(usuallyB)is the sameas anaxis name,causing an interpretation
conflictfor thecontrol. Thiswordand all axis namesare assignedin AMP.
