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 diagnostic steps described in the previous chapter.
• Read the section on Checking Robot Status. This describes how to
access the controller status information for various components by
using the EQT Information Request or sending various information
request 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.
