ABB Error 20011 — Emergency stop chain conflict
ErrorABB 20011 (“Emergency stop chain conflict”): The two channels of the e-stop chain disagree (one open, one closed).

What it means
The two channels of the e-stop chain disagree (one open, one closed). This is a hardware integrity fault of the safety chain — not a normal stop.
What to check
- Test both channels of each device in the chain (buttons, relays, connectors).
- Look for a chattering contact or damaged cable — the mismatch usually sits at ONE device.
- Never bridge a safety channel to “test” — replace the faulty device.

Indicative field information — the robot manufacturer's manual and safety procedures always prevail. Never bypass a safety device; apply lockout/tagout (LOTO) before any physical intervention. How this reference is built →
