What it means · Ce que ça veut dire

Drive unit configuration error — ABB robot hardware event on the Drive unit configuration error (IRC5). Specific to this controller generation. Severity: Major. Field diagnosis below (French); your robot's own manual remains authoritative.

In drive module arg the drive unit at position arg has a configuration error due to a mismatch between the drive unit and measurement system. The drive unit can only support arg joints having same measurement excitation. The error occurred when adding joint arg to the system. No operation will be possible until the fault is corrected. The system goes to system failure state. 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.

What to check · Que vérifier

  • Inspect the Drive unit configuration error, its wiring and connections first.
  • Match this code against your robot's event-log timeline before swapping parts.
  • Follow the French field checks below — they are the tested sequence for this fault.
  • probable : Too many joints are using same measurement excitation and all are using same drive unit.
  • Move the joint or another joint with same node excitation to the other excitation (EXC1 - EXC2), by reroute the joint measurement node connection both in hardware and in configuration.
  • Restart the controller.
