1.9 Exception handling
Many advanced features are available to make fast error recovery possible.

installation in order to minimise down time. Examples:
- Error Handlers (automatic recovery often possible without stopping
production).
- Restart on Path.
- Power failure restart.
- Service routines.
- Error messages: plain text with remedy suggestions, user defined messages.
- Diagnostic tests.
- Event logging.
1.10 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
The controller requires only a minimum of maintenance during operation. It has been
designed to make it as easy to service as possible:
- The controller is enclosed, which means that the electronic circuitry is
protected when operating in a normal workshop environment.
- There is a supervision of temperature, fans and battery health.
The robot has several functions to provide efficient diagnostics and error reports:
- It performs a self-test when power on is set.
- Computer status LEDs and console (serial channel) for fault tracing support.
- Errors are indicated by a message displayed in plain language.
The message includes the reason for the fault and suggests recovery action.
- Faults and major events are logged and time-stamped. This makes it possible to
detect error chains and provides the background for any downtime. The log can
be read on the teach pendant display, stored in a file or printed on a printer.
- There are commands and service programs in RAPID to test units and
functions.
- LEDs on the panel unit indicate status of the safeguarded switches.
Most errors detected by the user program can also be reported to and handled by the
standard error system. Error messages and recovery procedures are displayed in plain
language.
For detailed information on maintenance procedures, see Maintenance section in the
Product Manual.
