I use the solution Lemster proposed by shuting down the computer. I have already changed the capacitor bank but that didn't solve the problem.

Every day when we start the robot, do we have a system failure and do we need to restart the robot via "restart" then "advanced" followed by the "restart to last auto saved". Is it possible that the battery in the IRC5 or Robot is depleted? Anyway I don't get any errors that the battery is depleted. Once restarted, the robot works without any problems during the day!

Lemster,

Your tip worked out fine! thank you again!

Thanks a lot, will do!

Hi Lemster, I checked the values which are on the robot arm and they are all correct when consulting the values in the teaching pendant!

I have an IRB1200 with an IRC5 and after a hit, I needed to reset the revolution counters. I moved the different joints in their calibration position and now the robot refuses to reset the revolution counters by indicating that the parameters in the robot and the controller are different. I checked all data and saw that the serial number and other data are valid except for the calibration where is mentionned valid but not equal. Do I update the controller with robot memory or vice versa? Or maybe none of those?

After working some time with the robot, he didn't start in the morning. On start-up the status LED of the CPU board remains red for about 4 minutes and then starts flashing.

Has somebody any idea what could happened?

Already thanks for the help

Thanks a lot for the replies, I will check for any corrosion. This could be indeed the reason. I have the impression that the robot in the past worked in a corrosion sensitive environment, looking at the painting coming lose. I bought the battery via a certified ABB parts seller and I checked the voltage before connecting it to the board. And it was indeed 11.2V.

There exists also a possibility to buy a rechargeable battery, but this is not standard. But Is the battery than charged via the measuring board? Or is this a not done topic?

It's an IRB140 model with the S4Cplus controller with M2000 cabinet.

The battery is located on the serial measurement board within the base of the IRB140.

Battery has normal a voltage of 10,8V when new. I've put the lithium version in, so not the rechargeable one.

Is it normal that a new battery is drained after 7weeks below 8V? We changed the battery after a 38001 error end January and this worked fine, but the project was put on hold for some weeks, so we didn't fire-up the robot during that period and now we have the battery showing 7,2V. Or can there be another reasing why the battery drained that quick?

Thank you!

If there isn't a text field showing Rev.:, or something similar, look for a slash. The number after the slash is the revision number:

For the above the revision number is 08

and don't forget in some case you have to replace the package not only the battery.
if you need more information let me know

Hi, I have a question around changing the battery or the complete package. As far I know you have to replace the complete package if the rev is below 10, as from rev 10 you may only change the battery. But where can I find the rev number?

Already thanks for the help!
