A default mechanical unit group is used — ABB robot hardware event on the A default mechanical unit group is used (IRC5). Specific to this controller generation. Severity: Major. Field diagnosis below (French); your robot's own manual remains authoritative.

The configuration of task arg has no connection to arg. The attribute arg is required in a multimove system and is missing. The task performs no movement by the mechanical unit, but can read motion data. The RAPID functions may fail, if they read motion data and is connected to the wrong mechanical unit. The mechanical unit group in arg has been connected to the task. Le texte constructeur de ce code n'existe qu'en anglais dans les manuels ABB dont il provient. Il est reproduit tel quel ci-dessus ; le manuel de votre robot fait foi.
