What it means · Ce que ça veut dire
Power Semiconductor Warning — ABB robot hardware event on the Power Semiconductor Warning (IRC5). Specific to this controller generation. Severity: Major. Field diagnosis below (French); your robot's own manual remains authoritative.
The power seminconductor is approaching overload for joint arg, in drive unit number arg, drive module arg . - 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 Power Semiconductor Warning, 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 : The motor load may be too high, the motor may have stalled (maybe due to a collision), the motor load may be too high or there may not be enough cooling.
- - 1) Check that the robot has not collided.
- - 2) Check that the fans are running and that the air flow is not obstructed.
- - 3) Check that the ambient temperature does not exceed the cabinet rating.
- - 4) If the system contains external axes then check that motors are not too large for the drive units.
