When it faults

A fault means the cell stopped because something was wrong. It stays stopped until you deal with it — it will never restart on its own.

Reading the message

The screen gives the fault in two parts: what happened, and what to do about it. Read the second part first; it is written for the situation you are actually in.

Faults you can resume

Some faults stop the cycle without losing it. The message says cycle can resume, and once the cause is gone you can Acquit & Resume and carry on from the same box.

Message	What to do
Robot fault — cycle can resume	Clear the cause if there is one, then Acquit & Resume.
Robot not in remote mode	Put the controller back in AUTO with remote enabled, then Reset.
Waiting for a pallet, a part or a validation	Nothing is broken. Give it what it asks for.

Faults you cannot resume

Others end the cycle. Clear the cause, press Reset, and the cell goes back to a state you can rearm from.

Message	What to do
Robot fault	Read the detail on screen, clear the cause, then Reset.
Program stopped: …	The reason is named in the message. Correct it, then Reset. The code stays visible until the cell is rearmed.
Contact stop — the robot touched something	Free the contact, then Reset. See Emergency and safety stops.
Tool payload differs from the declared one	Look at what the tool is holding, then correct the payload during initialisation.

The recovery steps

When a fault leaves the robot somewhere it should not be, the screen walks you out of it rather than leaving you to guess: it will tell you whether the tool is holding something, offer to free it, and bring the robot back to HOME on a checked route. Follow the steps in order.

Calling for help

Stop and call for help when the message is not one of the above, when the same fault comes back after a reset, or when the cell asks you to move the robot by hand and you have not been trained to. Do not open the fence to look.
