Error Description: 

Current flow through the motor or the driver unit of the corresponding axis exceeded the permitted value. 

 

 

Possible Remedy:         

 

  • Reduce the robot speed, acceleration and deceleration.
  • Confirm the end of arm load is not in excess of parameter value & arm capacity.
  • Motor encoder cable broken.
  • Robot is not colliding with any external obstacle. 
  • Driver Unit failure
  • Robot internal wiring is damaged.
  • Mechanical failure of drive component in specified joint
  • Motor failure

 

Tools and Parts Needed

Full Sized Teaching Pendant

#2 Phillips Screwdriver

Hex Wrench Set


Step by Step Guide


Step 1

Confirm the end of arm load is not in excess of parameter value & arm capacity.

  • Identify specifications of tooling (mass of payload, COG, & Moment of inertia).
  • Confirm parameter value (arm – aux – config – parameters 1 through 7).

Step 2

Verify the motor encoder cable is not broken or damaged.

  • Confirm visually.

Step 3

Robot is not colliding with any external obstacle. 
  • Confirm visually.

Step 4

Verify Driver unit operation.
  • Replace Driver unit of erroring joint with driver unit of same size within controller, or install new card from spare parts.

Step 5

Verify no damage to wiring harness inside of robot. 
  • Remove arm covers and confirm visually.
Step 6
Verify there is no mechanical failure of drive component in specified joint.
  • Release brake of specified joint and move joint by hand. Check for seizing, inconsistent movement or rough movement. 

Step 7

Motor failure
  • Release brake of specified joint and check for seizing or tightness when moving.
