- Follow the French field checks below — they are the tested sequence for this fault.
- probable : The programmed position is such that at least one robot axis cannot move from the current position to the given robot configuration or must pass through a singular point to reach the position.
- Step through the program in manual mode and modify the faulty points.
- Note that it is possible to continue in manual mode as only first try is stopped.
- The movement can also be changed by use of SingArea\Wrist, ConfL\Off or be replaced by MoveJ.
