Updated 2026-09-17 · LogrobotLM reference

Description

An attempt was made to move the robot while it was in the docking station. This alarm occurs when attempting to move the robot either in manual mode, or to the purge position, or to enable special moves without first moving it out of the docking station.

Remedy

Request to de-dock before initiating robot motion. The robot is at the docking station and must run dedock before other moves are enabled. Reset the robot, put the cell in manual mode, and run the de-dock move from the MCP.
