ABB IRB 2400L S4c+ 2006

    Hello everybody!

    So our company is about to buy a used IRB 2400L robot with S4c+ controller. I did call to a seller today and he said it was used in welding. When they used robot to welding, it had a few turning tables connected to it.


    We are planning to use this robot to just feed parts to deep drawing machine and we dont need turning tables at all.
    Seller told me that robot is not working without this turning tables if you dont change parameters and some other s**t.

    My question is , it is hard to get this turning table parameters out of this robot software? Is there some kind of "factory reset" function to wipe all this useless trash out of the robot.
    Is this something that we have to call ABB to do the job or it is somehow doable without ABB. Can you just simply deactivate the table like you can do with IRC5?

    Best Regards. Antti

    Changed the title of the thread from “ABB S4c 2400L Year 2006” to “ABB IRB 2400L S4c 2006”.

    The S4C+ generation started in the year 2000, so that is probably what you are looking at. If the tables are not coming with the robot, you will get failures. If they were, you could more easily disable those mechanical units.

    Parameters will need to be changed, deleted, and wiring changes as well as jumpering out unneeded connections. Do are search in this forum. It has been discussed more than once. Otherwise, it could be worth sparing you the headache to have a competent technician come do the job for you. Depending on where in the world you are would be helpful if anyone here wants to step up to help in person or make a recommendation.

    Thank you Lemster68 , I keep looking for more info in this forum. We have several other robots ( they are IRC5) and unfortunetly we dont have this tables. At this point we try to keep costs as low as possible and try to avoid a need of calling ABB and ask them to get over (In finland its super expensive lol)

    But I keep looking for this forum and try to find a right forums

    Thx for correcting generation.

    "Easiest as Reboot mentions is to create a new system without the external axis (option) and reboot the robot with the new system. At that point you can remove the external axis without an resolver error, however, you will most likely get the PTC / overtemp error in which case you need to jumper the PTC signal that used to go to the external axis. "


    So we need to reboot the program with a new system and without a external axis option. Then we have to work with this PTC signal?

    There will be that and more. First thing when you get the robot is to make a backup, save system parameters too. They will be in the backup but it is better to have a failsafe. You will need to get the version of robotware installed and get a copy of robinstall.

    Hello again Robot people!


    So we are about to install a new system to this robot. Right now this is what robinstall shows us:

    So our robot is going to be installed on floor and its just moving objects, theres no turning tables or welding.

    We are about to do the new system with this options:


    Prepared selection(s):

    Serial no 24-29926

    Included external option program(s):

    Serial no 24-29926 Program no ANDON-24-29926


    Is this right? Im just thinking this external axes. Is No Ext Axes DC4 right option? there was no ext axes and no ext axes dc2 as option aswell.


    Next thing is moc file but we will dig into that later

    System looks OK except for the ANDON option - not sure what it does.

    My glitchy memory thinks the DC4 designation will work for the DC4U - Just unplug the unneeded motor connector.

    Default MOC file should be good in the new system, DO NOT use the backup.

    Ext. PTC can be jumpered at XS7 or at XP33. If you're lucky, the original XP33 jumper is in the bottom of the controller.

    Not sure of the previous SMB setup but might be OK if the all ext. axes ran off the 2nd SMB.
