Okuma Alarm C-3197 – MCS Full Absolute Scale Error

Okuma Alarm C-3197 indicates that the full absolute scale is unable to detect positional data correctly. The control system relies on this scale to determine the precise axis position, and when the signal becomes invalid or unreadable the machine stops to prevent incorrect movement. The problem may be caused by a faulty scale, damaged cables, electrical interference, or issues in the servo control system.
