FANUC Alarm PNT1-646 — %sFlow rate avg. error excessive
FANUC PNT1-646 (“%sFlow rate avg. error excessive”): Comparisons of how far the measured flow rate is from the setpoint had too large of a result. First check: Check, clean, and possibly replace the air cap. Likely part: Transducer (Transducer) +1 more.

Description
Comparisons of how far the measured flow rate is from the setpoint had too large of a result. The size of the error between measured flow and setpoint that will cause this alarm is controlled by the Max. error from setpoint parameter. Possible causes are:
Remedy · Remède
Check, clean, and possibly replace the air cap. Check for oscillating air pressure on the output of the I/P transducer. If found, replace the transducer. Check for a large loss of air supply pressure or pinched air lines. If the alarm occurs on both Fan Air and Atomizing Air or many robots, then possibly increase the Max. error from setpoint parameter.
