What it means · Ce que ça veut dire
System state is lost — ABB robot hardware event on the System state is lost (IRC5). Specific to this controller generation. Severity: Major. Field diagnosis below (French); your robot's own manual remains authoritative.
The file containing system persistent data cannot be found and auto-recovery backup of the previous last-good system state is not available. In normal circumstances system state is automatically stored to persistent memory during shutdown and an auto-recovery copy of previous last-good state is preserved. System configuration and RAPID programs are lost and will have to be re-implemented or reloaded from a user stored backup. 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.
