Causes
Y and B axes share a servo drive on some Integrex machines — when the drive is marginal or aged, the least-used axes (Y, B) throw overload first, especially after the machine has been sitting and is cold.

If Y and B share a drive, I'd treat this as drive or cabling before chasing encoder ghosts. Since it only shows up after sitting and hits the least-used axes, a marginal connection or rebuild candidate drive sounds more …

How to clear it

Confirm which axes share a drive on your machine before chasing the encoder. If Y and B share, pull and inspect the drive connectors and consider sending the drive out for rebuild before buying a new encoder.

Servo drives are probably the most common failure on older Mazaks. If your Y B axis are on the same drive, keep that little tidbit in mind....

If you only need axes other than the faulty one for current work, you can disable the failed axis in parameters as a stopgap (per a senior PM responder's suggestion to OP).

Additional notes
Alarm 24 'Overload' with the parenthetical 4,0,0051 / 0052 / 0058 pattern points at specific axis numbers in the servo bus. Cross-reference the third number against the drive layout in the machine's electrical drawings.
Confidence: medium · Single PM thread but cross-confirmed within the thread by two senior responders. OP had not posted final fix at time of capture.
