Troubleshooting
This chapter describes how to troubleshoot robot problems using the
following methods:
• Recognize problems that have been solved before and apply the known
answer by reading Common Problems and the Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs).
• Verify what does work and what does not work. Run the diagnostics
described in the previous chapter. To access the controller information
on the functioning of various components, use the EQT Information
Request or send various information commands. Use the STAT
command to check general controller status, the RNCS command to
check NVSRAM status, the RLS command to check limit switch
status, and so on. This chapter gives information on using these
commands, interpreting the responses, and taking recovery actions.
• For problems you cannot solve, gather information and contact Equipe
Customer Support. Use the Aftermath Analysis form given at the end
of this chapter.
As you follow the instructions, you might be asked to perform one or more
Diagnostic steps. Instructions for using the Teach Pendant and EQT 32 to
perform diagnostics are given in the preceding chapter. General
instructions for using the Teach Pendant and EQT 32 are given in the
Equipe User Interface Manual, Document number 4000-0017.
Common Problems
The two most-common problems are that the robot does not move or does
not home.
If the robot is not moving, check the following:
• Is the power on? If not, connect it!
• Are the servo motors turned on? If not, use the SVON command.
• Is the robot homed? If not, use your homing macro or HOME
command.
• Is the signal cable correctly connected? If not, correct it.
If the robot does not home, make sure the signal cable is correctly
connected.
