What it means

Limit switch open: the robot limit switch has opened — the robot has been driven outside the working range defined by the limit switches mounted on the axis. The system goes to Motors OFF.

What to check

  • Bring the axis back into range by jogging with the limit switch override device (manufacturer's procedure).
  • Check the mechanical adjustment of the limit switch cams.
  • Check the circuit wiring if the opening does not correspond to an actual out-of-range position.
  • Note: "Physical" version of 90200 (opened by the Safety Controller). Limit switches optional depending on the model: mainly present on axes 1-3 of heavy-payload robots.
