ABB Error 50050 — Position outside reach

Error

ABB 50050 (“Position outside reach”): The programmed Cartesian target cannot be reached by the manipulator (workspace or configuration).

Updated 2026-09-17 · LogrobotLM reference

What it means

The programmed Cartesian target cannot be reached by the manipulator (workspace or configuration). Frequent after tool/workobject changes.

What to check

  • Verify the active tool and workobject at the cited line — a wrong frame moves every target.
  • Check for configuration flags forcing an unreachable arm configuration.
