FANUC Alarm PAIN-280 — WARN …Zero fluid flow rate detected

Manufacturer wording — WARN %sZero fluid flow rate detected
The manual prints placeholders; your controller fills them in with the real group, axis or number.

FANUC PAIN-280 (“WARN …Zero fluid flow rate detected”): All of the conditions were set for fluid to be flowing and a zero flow rate was measured. First check: If fluid can be seen coming from the applicator, check: flow meter, flow meter pickup, Accuflow interface and the 32 point input module.

Description

All of the conditions were set for fluid to be flowing and a zero flow rate was measured. This may be due to no fluid pressure or pilot air pressure. With a very low flow rate the gain may be too high. One of the following items may be broken: Color Valve, Color select board, gun trigger, flow meter, flow meter pickup, Accuflow interface board, or the 32 point input module. Note, Accuflow automatically changes to Open Loop when this failure occurs.

Remedy

If fluid can be seen coming from the applicator, check: flow meter, flow meter pickup, Accuflow interface and the 32 point input module. Other- wise check the other items listed above. If it occurs with very low flow rates decrease the Gain modifier.
