What it means · Ce que ça veut dire
Speed too low — ABB robot hardware event on the Speed too low (IRC5). Specific to this controller generation. Severity: Major. Field diagnosis below (French); your robot's own manual remains authoritative.
Numerical problem when interpolation of long segments with low speed and heavy external axes or when interpolation close to singularity. 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 Speed too low, 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.
- Split segments with long interpolation time (path\_resolution * 4 minutes) or change to joint interpolation or move position away from singularity.
