FANUC Alarm PNT2-626 — Max. output has flow < setpoint
Manufacturer wording — %sMax. output has flow < setpoint
The manual prints placeholders; your controller fills them in with the real group, axis or number.
FANUC PNT2-626 (“Max. output has flow < setpoint”): With a maximum control output the flow rate was measured to be lower than the setpoint (requested flow). First check: Check, clean and possibly replace the air cap. Likely part: Air flow sensor (Air flow sensor) +1 more.

Description
With a maximum control output the flow rate was measured to be lower than the setpoint (requested flow). The Max. control out (ms) parameter affects the sensitivity of this alarm. This is likely caused by a clogged air cap. This might be caused by: pinched air lines, a broken I/P transducer or a broken air flow sensor. Note, AccuAir temporarily automatically changes to Open Loop when this alarm occurs.
Remedy
Check, clean and possibly replace the air cap. If air is observed to be flowing (when commanded), possibly replace the air flow sensor. Check for a pinched air line. Check and repair the I/P transducer. Possibly increase the Max. control out (ms) parameter (by about 50%).
