You can use this code: 38200 Battery Backup Lost.

38200, Battery backup lost

Description

The battery backup to serial measurement board (SMB) arg in

the robot connected to drive module arg on measurement link

arg has been lost.

Consequences

When the SMB battery power supply is interrupted, the robot

will lose the revolution counter data. This warning will also

repeatedly be logged.

Probable causes

This may be due to an SMB battery that is discharged or not

connected. For some robot models, the SMB battery power is

supplied through a jumper in the robot signal cable (refer to the

IRC5 circuit diagram), and disconnecting the cable interrupts

the battery power supply. Some earlier robot versions used

rechargeable batteries, and these must be charged for at least

18 hours before working correctly.

Recommended actions

1) Make sure a charged SMB battery is connected to the board.

2) NOTE! Disconnecting the robot signal cable may disconnect

the SMB battery power supply, triggering the battery warning

to be logged.

3) Reset the battery power warning by updating the revolution

counters as detailed in the Calibration or Product Manual.

4) Replace the battery if discharged.

Then try to create background task to send this code to PLC. You can find nice explenation in this thread:

It seems that the signal only reports a low battery, not a dead battery. I suppose, working without smb battery (either completely or with a dead battery) is not allowed - so you have another signals to detect that something is wrong.

Little bit old but it still good I think

Probably yes after reset error but... I suppose that every 10th hour the new error will occur (as you can read in manual). I think it's should be repleaced as soon as it possible, because you don't know when battery will fail - and this could make much more complicated issue. It's a good behaviuor to take into consediration with this kind of signal for maintenance forecast. It's not a big deal to repleace battery (described in manual for every arm).

Hello,

You can use signal SMB Battery Charge Low.

"If Status has the value SMB Battery Charge Low, the I/O signal is set when the SMB battery capacity is running low and the battery needs to be replaced soon. The signal is cleared when the SMB battery charge is okay.

There is only one battery in a normal single robot system. However, there can be up to 16 SMB batteries in a MultiMove system or when using external axes. The output is activated if any of the batteries need replacement.

An event log message gives information about which battery should be replaced.

SMB batteries are cyclically supervised every 10th hour. After replacing a battery, it can take up to 10 hours for the signal to reset. The value is saved during a restart."

RobotStudio 2021 faults when logging in (RobAPI fault, unable to read from controller)

A co-worker and I have been experiencing these same faults, and found a way around them for now. I decided to write this up in case it's helpful for anyone else.

The root problem is on RS 2021.2, on robots running RW 6.12. RS is running on WIndows 10 computers, using DHCP and One-Click Connect through the Management port on the front of the IRC5.

Now, for days we were able to connect to these robots this way, and perform RAPID edits and controller and I/O changes without any issues. However,…

So what is written above works for me - first I close the Login pop-up window, then through Autenthicate log in on default user and then log in to safety user. The problem with "Robotstudio.net exception" no longer appears.

Hi everyone,

When connecting to an IRC5 controller using OneClickConnect via DHCP, I get an error (actually several hundred of the same errors):

RobotStudio .NET exception: Cannot parse input: 牰瑯扯晵

These tricky chineses signs means: 牰瑯扯晵 - slang

The whole output window is clogged with these errors, it makes RS crash and you can't do anything. After several attempts to connect, it fixes itself. Unfortunately, I don't know what makes it happen sometimes and sometimes not. Does anyone know a solution to this problem?
