Error codes

What a robot’s error code means, from the maker’s own directory, with a link to the page where the maker says what to do about it.

Type the code from the teach pendant, or words from the message. Each directory is grouped the way the maker prints it: by robot generation, then by section.

Cause, as the directory gives them

The appliced force or torque on the sensor is higher that configured. Too high ordered reference can be the cause. The configuration might also be faulty.

From ABB’s own error code directory. The steps to fix it are the maker’s and are on the page linked above, not copied here.
