What does Bad Servo Driver Error mean?

Hello,
What is a "Bad Servo Driver Error" in layman's terms? Can someone provide a basic explanation or definition of a Bad Servo Driver Error message and its possible causes. I'm looking for tips on troubleshooting this type of fault from the perspective of a hands-on technician. Thank you!

What does bad servo driver error mean?

Do you mean "bad servo driver"? or bad servo drive?

Bad servo drive is self explanatory, bad servo driver can simply be the same thing or it is an alarm I have never actually seen. A driver is typically a mechanism or force that provides or creates motion, so I would think a bad servo driver simply means that your frequency drive or SCR drive has failed.
