Fanuc Alarm 401 (SERVO ALARM: n-axis VRDY OFF) — this is a standard Fanuc alarm, meaning the "ready" signal from the servo amplifier isn't reaching the CNC.
Check the following:
Step
Cause/Check
1
Check the screen to see which axis is throwing the alarm (X/Y/Z/Spindle)
2
Check if the servo amp (drive) itself is showing an alarm (check the drive's display/LED)
3
Verify main power supply and control power (200V/24V) are correct
4
Confirm the emergency stop circuit is properly released
5
Check the connection cable from servo amp to CNC (JX1/JX2 or COP10A/B fiber optic) for looseness/damage
6
Check if the motor has overheated or is overloaded
7
Check if a breaker has tripped (on the servo amp power supply unit)
Quick fix: First, reset the amp and power-cycle the machine (off/on). If it recurs, note the servo amp's own alarm code (shown on the drive's display) — that will help pinpoint the exact cause.
