MOTN-017 Limit error (G:%d^2, A:%s^7)
Cause: Limit error.
Remedy: Reteach the position out of limits.
It sounds like you are possibly trying to move or teach the robot outside of it's "soft limits". Can you tell me just a bit more about what it is you're trying to accomplish? Which robot/controller?

trying to get the new pallet pattern to pass this last 4 boxes without this error to upload to robot. how do i edit the soft limits?
-
MENU>NEXT>SYSTEM>AXIS LIMITS
I would suggest looking into what is recommended for your particular robot because opening these windows could cause the robot to bind up and it could damage the robot. Being that you are a beginner you could get into a real mess here.
Also write down the limits before you change them and you must cycle power for them to take effect.
Someone else may have some more info for you but you could also try slowing the moves down a bit and see if that helps. But before you do anything search the forums for “MOTN-017” and read up what other people have done to fix it. There are a couple threads about it.

will do, thank you so much! you've been very helpful

Also look into flip/non-flip configuration. One or the other may be better at keeping you away from the limit.
