What it means · Ce que ça veut dire

Soft servo activation failure — ABB robot hardware event on the Soft servo activation failure (IRC5). Specific to this controller generation. Severity: Major. Field diagnosis below (French); your robot's own manual remains authoritative.

The joint arg has not been able to set to soft servo mode. The reason for this is that the axis has reached its maximum torque level a short time before or during activation. The system makes an emergency stop and the soft activation command is canceled. 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.
