What to check · Que vérifier

  • Inspect the Movement in wrong direction, 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 motion force control has to move the mechanical unit back to the starting position it had when taking over from the position control, before handing back the control to the position control.
  • In this case the starting position for the force movement is more closed than current position is and that will lead to closing movement before position control can take over.
  • The situation indicate that there was a collision with the plate during the closing movement, that the plate thickness is not correct, or that the calibration is not correct.
  • Make sure that the proper configuration is made, for example plate thickness.
  • Make sure that the calibration is correct.
