If an alarm or warning generates, since a corresponding alarm code or warning code will be displayed, the item to
identify the details of the alarm/warning can be checked.
Up to ten most recent alarms/warnings can be displayed, starting from the latest one. Also, alarm/warning records
can be cleared.
The alarm currently present can be reset.
 Checking I/O signals
The ON/OFF status of each I/O signal of the driver can be checked.

 Speed (unit: r/min)
The motor operation speed can be checked.
While the motor rotates in the counter clockwise direction (CCW), the "−" sign is displayed in front of the value.
The value can also be displayed as the absolute value, or the "−" sign can be displayed in front of the value while
the motor rotates in the clockwise direction (CW). In this case, change the setting of the "data setter speed display"
parameter (ID: 480).
The operation speed can be displayed as the rotation speed of the gear output shaft. To do this, set the "speed
reduction ratio" parameter (ID: 2085) and "speed reduction ratio digit setting" parameter (ID: 2086).
It is also possible to increase the rotation speed and display the increased speed. Set in the "speed increasing ratio"
parameter (ID: 2087).
