Troubleshooting

This chapter describes some of the most common troubles known when installing,
configuring, or running PickMaster PowerPac.

A fault in the robot system first appears as a symptom, which can be:

•

An event log message that can be viewed using PickMaster PowerPac,
FlexPendant, RobotStudio, or Windows Event Viewer.

•

The system is performing poorly or displaying mechanical disturbances.

•

The system can not be started or displays irrational behavior during start.

•

Indications on the hardware, such as LEDs.

•

Other types of symptoms. The robot system is complex and has a large
number of functions and function combinations.
