Hi All.
have connected an XP pc to our irb140 in an effort to reboot. On running hyper-terminal it will connect to the robot but i'm unable to write any text in the input screen where am i going wrong.
Cheers. Steve

Hi Fellas.
Swapped drive connector blocks and resolver connector for motors 5 & 6. axis 5 performed normally and 6 error'd out. Thankfully the drive motors seem ok. My natural thought is the robot power/signal umbilical cord as this is subject to constant flexing. this looks quite an involved removal, for a start i assume the pins need removed from the plastic blocks at the drive motor end as they won't go through the casing, is there a special tool for this?
but before i go for it is there anything within the cabinet that could generate the fault, i have checked all cable connectionsas an aside...when jogging individual axis 4,5,6 i'm getting slight movement from multiple axis. i.e. rotating 4 generates minor movement in 5 is this normal?
to add insult to injury the battery low error message has just arrived.

Hi Fellas... Thanks for the info.
presently i have just changed over the MP drive blocks leaving the resolver as is. i.e. plugging drive motor 5 into 4s cable and vise versa.
this resulted in the error code moving from drive motor 5 to 4 leading me to believe that there is a fault in the cable.
i am gonna try and do a continuity test on the cable between the robot base and the believed faulty drive motor block should this be straight forward or is there any wire linking?
Can you suggest any other tests before i look at getting the cable out, which doesn't look easy...
Cheers Steve. -
Once again many thanks Iowan...
Are there any guides to drive motor removal or do i just feel my way through it?
what leads do you mean by resolver, how are they marked?
cheers. Steve. -
Is it possible to swap cable drive connectors i.e. connector block 5 to drive motor 4 and vise versa? they look identical are the pin positions the same or would the control unit throw a wobbler? Just to rule out the cables?
presently when axis 5 is tried sometimes the joint moves rapidly a few degrees with an over speed warning, other times it moves a small amount with the previous error message, have tried after moving the joint manually but still the same.are the drive motors a difficult swap and still available as i'm leaning toward this as being the problem.
last thing how stiff should the joint be when brake removed as it didn't move over freely.

our irb140 M2000/ s4c robot installation is not recognizing the boot disk after a major power outage. has anyone a good copy of the software?
cheers.

following the restart of our IRB2400 M2000/S4C, many thanks Iowan... on trying to synchronize all axis i receive a error message.
Error 39217
Drive unit unable to supply ordered current, due to low DC-voltage or broken motor connections. Drive unit joint: irb_5.
Measured DC-bus voltage: 374.00 (v).all axis other than 5 move OK. when 5 is moved it travels a short distance then stops with the above message. Is the fault likely to be the wiring to the motor failing? a defective axis drive motor? or software cabinet related? are there any tests i could perform to localize/identify the issue and how do you access the wiring in the robot arm?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers Steve. -
cheers fellas, i'll give it a go...

hi everyone.
we had a major power outage which knocked out both of our ABB robot systems. on re-connection both systems are taking ages to reboot with the message.
wait start up in progressis this normal? i am a novice on these systems is it just a case of waiting? it has been doing this for nearly 24hrs.
cheers.
Steve.
