What it means · Ce que ça veut dire

Too long paths when unpacking RobotWare files — ABB robot hardware event on the Too long paths when unpacking RobotWare files (IRC5). Specific to this controller generation. Severity: Major. Field diagnosis below (French); your robot's own manual remains authoritative.

The RobotWare installation package was not properly unpacked on the controller. Some files in the package have a path that is too long and could not be handled by the controller software. During the installation process the controller software was upgraded to handle longer paths, so a re-installation of the system should solve the problem. Some RobotWare files are missing on the controller and your system may not be able to operate properly. 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.
