FANUC Alarm PNT1-548 — … abort, can fill timeout

Manufacturer wording — %s abort, can fill timeout
The manual prints placeholders; your controller fills them in with the real group, axis or number.

FANUC PNT1-548 (“… abort, can fill timeout”): The canister position counts did not reach the fill counts before the Color Change Timeout expired. First check: Establish the cause of the timeout.

Updated 2026-09-17 · LogrobotLM reference

Description

The canister position counts did not reach the fill counts before the Color Change Timeout expired. If this occurs during a Scale Calibration, then the can was not filled before the Scale Cal Step Time expired. This condition can exist if no paint has entered the can or a loss of canister position feedback from the linear potentiometer has occurred. The Color Change Timeout needs to be increased. The Full Can counts have not been properly calculated.

Remedy

Establish the cause of the timeout. Verify that the canister position feedback is operating properly. Feedback can be verified by checking the analog input (AIN[1, DISP]). Check the paint supply system. Check the color change valve operation. Check the color valve if it is a color change fault, or the dock solvent if this occurs during a scale calibration. Increase the Color Change Timeout. If the gun has been changed, then a scale calibration might be required. Reset, and attempt to continue if this occurs during automatic mode. If the robot is stuck in the docking station then switch to manual mode and run a de-dock move to move the robot to Home. If this alarm occurs during a scale calibration then increase the Scale Cal Step Time (40 seconds by default). It could require more time depending on the material used to scale calibrate.
