Alarm Log
Alarms can be raised for various reasons including collisions, invalid IK solutions, singularities, and over-temperature. If an alarm is raised when the robot is running, it will stop execution of whatever program is running and the Alarm Log icon will update to show the number of alarms.
Check the status of the Alarms by clicking on the Alarm Log icon. You will be brought to the Alarm Log page.
Double click on an alarm to view the cause and solution. Once an alarm is solved, press the Clear Alarm button to clear it. You can then resume normal operation of the robot.
Enabling Status
The Enable Robot button’s color corresponds to the robot’s status:
Color | Icon | Status |
---|---|---|
Solid Blue | Robot is disabled | |
Solid Green | Robot is enabled | |
Flashing Blue | Robot is in drag mode |

The Eccentric coordinate of the end load should be set when the J6 axis is 0°.

The load value should not exceed the maximum payload of the robot.
