ABB robots provide error codes to diagnose issues with the system, motion, or controller. Here’s a summary of common error codes you might encounter, along with possible solutions:
### 1. **10010-10050: Safety and Emergency Stop Errors**
- **Error 10011**: Emergency stop activated.
- **Solution**: Check and reset the emergency stop button on the controller or the robot's teach pendant.
- **Error 10012**: Safety circuit fault.
- **Solution**: Inspect safety switches, relays, and connections; replace if needed.
### 2. **20000-20500: Motion System Errors**
- **Error 20222**: Joint speed error.
- **Solution**: Verify that joint speeds and accelerations are within allowed limits; adjust motion parameters.
- **Error 20252**: Overload on joint.
- **Solution**: Check for mechanical obstructions or excessive load on the joint; reduce payload if necessary.
### 3. **30000-30500: Controller Communication Errors**
- **Error 30152**: Communication with drive module lost.
- **Solution**: Restart the controller, check all cables, and ensure proper grounding.
- **Error 30212**: Loss of communication with FlexPendant.
- **Solution**: Restart FlexPendant or reconnect it to the controller.
### 4. **40000-40500: IO and Signal Errors**
- **Error 40061**: IO signal configuration error.
- **Solution**: Ensure correct IO configuration in RobotStudio or the system parameters; reconfigure if needed.
- **Error 40100**: IO board not detected.
- **Solution**: Check the physical connections of the IO board and ensure it's compatible with the controller.
### 5. **50000-50500: Program Execution Errors**
- **Error 50010**: Program stop due to fault.
- **Solution**: Identify and correct the program error causing the stop (e.g., syntax errors or uninitialized variables).
- **Error 50100**: Uninitialized variable used.
- **Solution**: Initialize variables in the program or in system parameters.
### 6. **60000-60500: System Errors**
- **Error 60014**: System overload.
- **Solution**: Check CPU load, close unnecessary programs, or restart the controller.
- **Error 60152**: Memory error.
- **Solution**: Clear memory, optimize programs, or increase memory allocation if possible.
### 7. **70000-70500: Tool and Payload Errors**
- **Error 70021**: Tool not calibrated.
- **Solution**: Calibrate the tool using the teach pendant or RobotStudio.
- **Error 70153**: Payload data error.
- **Solution**: Ensure correct payload data entry in the tool configuration to match the physical tool and workpiece.
### 8. **80000-80500: Calibration and Backup Errors**
- **Error 80020**: Calibration needed.
- **Solution**: Perform a full calibration of the robot arm and any attached tools.
- **Error 80100**: Backup failure.
- **Solution**: Re-attempt backup; check storage device and free up space if necessary.
Each ABB robot model may have specific error codes, so for exact details and troubleshooting, refer to the ABB error code manual or the ABB Robotics documentation.
