1.3. Safety during trouble shooting
General
All normal service work; installation, maintenance and repair work, is usually performed with
all electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic power switched off. All manipulator movements are
usually prevented by mechanical stops etc.
Trouble shooting work differs from this. While trouble shooting, all or any power may be
switched on, the manipulator movement may be controlled manually from the FlexPendant,
by a locally running robot program or by a PLC to which the system may be connected.
Dangers during trouble shooting
This implies that special considerations unconditionally must be taken when trouble
shooting:
•All electrical parts must be considered as live.
•The manipulator must at all times be expected to perform any movement.
•Since safety circuits may be disconnected or strapped to enable normally prohibited
functions, the system must be expected to perform accordingly.

© Copyright 2005-2010 ABB. All rights reserved.
1.5 Safe Trouble Shooting
1.5.1. DANGER - Robot without axes' holding brakes are potentially lethal!
Description
Since the robot arm system is quite heavy, especially on larger robot models, it is dangerous
if the holding brakes are disconnected, faulty, worn or in any way rendered non-operational.
For instance, a collapsing IRB 7600 arm system may kill or seriously injure a person standing
beneath it.
Elimination
Action Info/illustration
1. If you suspect that the holding brakes are
non-operational, secure the robot arm
system by some other means before
working on it.
Weight specifications etc. may be found in
the Product manual of each robot model.
2. If you intentionally render the holding
brakes non-operational by connecting an
external voltage supply, the utmost care
must be taken!
DANGER!
NEVER stand inside the robot working
area when disabling the holding brakes
unless the arm system is supported by
some other means!

Description
During normal operation, many manipulator parts become hot, especially the drive motors
and gears. Sometimes areas around these parts also become hot. Touching these may cause
burns of various severity.
Because of a higher environment temperature, more surfaces on the manipulator get hot and
may result in burns.
NOTE!
The drive parts in the cabinet can be hot.
Elimination
The instructions below detail how to avoid the dangers specified above:
Action Info
1. Always use your hand, at some distance, to feel if heat is
radiating from the potentially hot component before

2.4 Tips and Tricks while trouble shooting
2.4.1. Trouble shooting strategies
Isolate the fault!
Any fault may give rise to a number of symptoms, for which error event log messages may
or may not be created. In order to effectively eliminate the fault, it is vital to distinguish the
original symptom from the consequential ones.
A help in isolating the fault may be creating a historical fault log as specified in section Make
a historical fault log! on page 29.
Split the fault chain in two!
When trouble shooting any system, a good practice is to split the fault chain in two. This
means:
•identify the complete chain.
•decide and measure the expected value at the middle of the chain.
•use this to determine in which half the fault is caused.
•split this half into two new halves, etc.
•finally, a single component may be isolated. The faulty one.
Example
A specific IRB 7600 installation has a 12 VDC power supply to a tool at the manipulator
wrist. This tool does not work, and when checked, there is no 12 VDC supply to it.
•Check at the manipulator base to see if there is 12 VDC supply. Measurement show
there are no 12 VDC supply. (Reference: Circuit Diagram in the Product manual,
IRC5)
•Check any connector between the manipulator and the power supply in the controller.
Measurement show there are no 12 VDC supply. (Reference: Circuit Diagram in the
Product manual, IRC5)
•Check the power supply unit LED. (Reference: Indications on page 65)
Check communication parameters and cables!
The most common causes of errors in serial communication are:
• Faulty cables (e.g. send and receive signals are mixed up)
• Transfer rates (baud rates)
• Data widths that are incorrectly set.
Check the software versions!
Make sure the RobotWare and other software run by the system are the correct version.
Certain versions are not compatible with certain hardware combinations.
Also, make a note of all software versions run, since this will be useful information to the
ABB support people.
How to file a complete error report to your local ABB service personnel is detailed in section
Filing an error report on page 30.

2 Trouble shooting Overview
2.4.2. Work systematically
3HAC020738-001 Revision: K28
© Copyright 2005-2010 ABB. All rights reserved.
2.4.2. Work systematically
Do not replace units randomly!
Before replacing any part at all, it is important to establish a probable cause for the fault, thus
determining which unit to replace.
Randomly replacing units may sometimes solve the acute problem, but also leaves the trouble
shooter with a number of units that may/may not be perfectly functional.
Replace one thing at a time!
When replacing a presumably faulty unit that has been isolated, it is important that only one
unit be replaced at a time.
Always replace components as detailed in the Repairs section of the Product manual of the
robot or controller at hand.
Test the system after replacing to see if the problem has been solved.
If replacing several units at once:
•it is impossible to determine which of the units was causing the fault.
•it greatly complicates ordering a new spare part.
•it may introduce new faults to the system.
Take a look around!
Often, the cause may be evident once you see it. In the area of the unit acting erroneously, be
sure to check:
•Are the attachment screws secured?
•Are all connectors secured?
•Are all cabling free from damage?
•Are the units clean (especially for electronic units)?
•Is the correct unit fitted?
Check for tools left behind!
Some repair and maintenance work require using special tools to be fitted to the robot
equipment. If these are left behind (e.g. balancing cylinder locking device or signal cable to
a computer unit used for measuring purposes), they may cause erratic robot behavior.
Make sure all such tools are removed when maintenance work is complete!

2.4.3. Keeping track of history
293HAC020738-001 Revision: K
© Copyright 2005-2010 ABB. All rights reserved.
2.4.3. Keeping track of history
Make a historical fault log!
In some cases, a particular installation may give rise to faults not encountered in others.
Therefore, charting each installation may give tremendous assistance to the trouble shooter.
To facilitate trouble shooting, a log of the circumstances surrounding the fault gives the
following advantages:
•it enables the trouble shooter to see patterns in causes and consequences not apparent
at each individual fault occurrance.
•it may point out a specific event always taking place just before the fault, for example
a certain part of the work cycle being run.
Check up the history!
Make sure you always consult the historical log if it is used. Also remember to consult the
operator, or similar, who was working when the problem first occurred.
At what stage did the fault occur?
What to look for during trouble shooting depends greatly of when the fault occurred: was the
robot just freshly installed? Was it recently repaired?
The table gives specific hints to what to look for in specific situations:
If the system has just: then:
been installed Check:
• the configuration files
• connections
• options and their configuration
been repaired Check:
• all connections to the replaced part
• power supplies
• that the correct part has been fitted
had a software upgrade Check:
• software versions
• compatibilities between hardware and software
• options and their configuration
been moved from one site
to another (an already
working robot)
Check:
• connections
• software versions

3.3. Low Controller performance
3HAC020738-001 Revision: K34
© Copyright 2005-2010 ABB. All rights reserved.
3.3. Low Controller performance
Description
The controller performance is low, and seems to work irrationally.
The controller is not completely“ dead”. If it is, proceed as detailed in section Controller not
responding on page 33.
Consequences
These symptoms can be observed:
•Program execution is sluggish, seemingly irrational and sometimes stalls.
Possible causes
The computer system is experiencing too high load, which may be due to one, or a
combination, of the following:
•Programs containing too high a degree of logical instructions only, causing too fast
program loops and in turn, overloads the processor.
•The I/O update interval is set to a low value, causing frequent updates and a high I/O
load.
•Internal system cross connections and logical functions are used too frequently.
•An external PLC, or other supervisory computer, is addressing the system too
frequently, overloading the system.
Recommended actions
Action Info/illustration
1. Check whether the program contains logical
instructions (or other instructions that take “no
time” to execute), since such programs may
cause the execution to loop if no conditions are
fulfilled.
To avoid such loops, you can test by adding
one or more WAIT instructions. Use only short
WAIT times, to avoid slowing the program
down unnecessarily.
Suitable places to add WAIT instructions
can be:
• In the main routine, preferably
close to the end.
• In a WHILE/FOR/GOTO loop,
preferably at the end, close to the
ENDWHILE/ENDFOR etc. part
of the instruction.
2. Make sure the I/O update interval value for
each I/O board is not too low. These values are
changed using RobotStudio.
I/O units that are not read regularly may be
switched to “change of state” operation as
detailed in the RobotStudio manual.
ABB recommends these poll rates:
• DSQC 327A: 1000
• DSQC 328A: 1000
• DSQC 332A: 1000
• DSQC 377A: 20-40
• All others: >100
3. Check whether there is a large amount of cross
connections or I/O communication between
PLC and robot system.
Heavy communication with PLCs or
other external computers can cause
heavy load in the robot system main
computer.

4. Try to program the PLC in such a way that it
uses event driven instructions, instead of
looped instructions.
The robot system have a number of
fixed system inputs and outputs that
may be used for this purpose.
Heavy communication with PLCs or
other external computers can cause
heavy load in the robot system main
computer.

3.12. Oil and grease stains on motors and gearboxes
Description
The area surrounding the motor or gearbox shows signs of oil leaks. This can be at the base,
closest to the mating surface, or at the furthest end of the motor at the resolver.
Consequences
Besides the dirty appearance, in some cases there are no serious consequences if the leaked
amount of oil is very small. However, in some cases the leaking oil lubricates the motor
brake, causing the manipulator to collapse at power down.
Possible causes
The symptom can be caused by (the causes are listed in order of probability):
•Leaking seal between gearbox and motor.
•Gearbox overfilled with oil.
•Gearbox oil too hot.
Recommended actions

4.4.3. Trouble shooting DSQC 662
Required test equipment
Equipment needed for trouble shooting:
•Ohmmeter
•Resistive load (e.g. Main Computer DSQC 639 on +24V_PC)
•Voltmeter
Preparations
Trouble shooting procedure, DSQC 662
The trouble shooting table is supposed to be used as a detailed instruction together with the
trouble shooting flowchart, see Trouble shooting flowchart, DSQC 662 on page 64.
Action Note
1. Check the FlexPendant for errors and warnings.
2. Make sure that the power distribution board is in
run-time mode.
Do this by waiting 1 minute after power-on.
When the AC power has been cut
off, the indicator LED (Status
LED) on DSQC 662 will turn red
and stay red until UltraCAP is
empty. This may take a long time
and is completely normal. It does
not mean that there is something
wrong with the 662.
Test Note Action
1. Check the indicator
LED on DSQC 662.
The indicator LED is labelled
Status LED.
If the LED is GREEN, the 662
should be working properly.
If the LED is PULSING GREEN, a
USB communication error has
occurred. Proceed with step 2.
If the LED is RED, the input/output
voltage is low, and/or the logic
signal ACOK_N is high. Proceed
with step 4.
If the LED is PULSING RED, one
or more DC outputs are under
specified voltage level. Make sure
cables are properly connected to
its respective units. Proceed with
step 4.
If the LED is PULSING
REDGREEN, a firmware upgrade
error has occurred. This is not
supposed to happen during
runtime mode, proceed with step
6.
If the LED is OFF, either the 662 is
faulty or it does not have sufficient
input voltage. Proceed with step
4.

2. Check USB
connection on both
ends.
If the connection seems OK,
proceed with step 6.
If there is a problem with the
connection, proceed with step 3.
3. Try to fix the commu-
nication between the
power supply and
the computer by
reconnecting the
cable.
Make sure that the USB
cable is properly connected
on both ends.
If the communication comes back
up, verify that the fault has been
fixed and restart this guide if
necessary.
If unable to fix the communication,
proceed with step 6.
4. Disconnect one DC
output at a time and
measure its voltage.
Make sure that at least one
unit is connected at all times.
A minimum load of 0.5- 1A is
required on at least one
output for the 662 to work
properly.
Measure the voltage using a
voltmeter. The voltage
should be: +24V < U < +27V.
The DC outputs are shown in
the Circuit Diagram in
Product manual - IRC5.
If the correct voltage is detected
on all outputs and the Status LED
is green, the power supply is
working properly.
If the correct voltage is detected
on all outputs and the Status LED
is NOT green, the power supply is
regarded as faulty but does not
have to be replaced instantly.
If no or the wrong voltage is
detected, proceed with step 5.
5. Measure the input
voltage to the 662
and the ACOK_N
signal.
Measure the voltage using a
voltmeter. Input voltage
should be: 24 < U < 27V and
ACOK_N should be 0V.
Make sure that connectors
X1 and X2 are connected
properly on both ends.
The DC input X1 and
ACOK_N connector X2 are
shown in the Circuit Diagram
in Product manual - IRC5.
If the input voltage is correct,
proceed with step 6.
If no or the wrong input voltage is
detected, troubleshoot DSQC
661.
6. The 662 may be
faulty, replace it and
verify that the fault
has been fixed.
How to replace the unit is
detailed in Product manual -
IRC5.
