What it means · Ce que ça veut dire
DC link voltage is critically high — ABB robot hardware event on the DC link voltage is critically high (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 unit position arg has a DC link voltage that is critically high. No operation will be possible until the fault is corrected. The system goes to Motors Off state with zero torque. WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE: THE DC LINK MAY BE DISCHARGED VERY SLOWLY (APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR) WHEN THE SYSTEM IS POWERED OFF. 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 DC link voltage is critically high, 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 : - 1 The bleeder resistor is not connected or faulty.
- - 2 The user program may contain too much deceleration of the manipulator's axes.
- This fault is more likely if the system contains additional axes.
