About robot errors
Robot errors are among the most common errors that occur during a
run.
Types of robot error
There are four types of robot error.
Door interlock error
recovery
A door interlock error occurs when an overhead door is opened during
a run.
To recover from a door interlock error:
1. Make sure that the system is in a valid state for the protocol. In other
words, make sure that you have not made changes that will cause a
further error, such as moving a plate to a position that should not
have a plate, or cause samples to be switched around, such as
moving a plate from one VStack
to another.
2. Close the overhead door that was opened.
3. Make sure that the interlock light on the power panel is on.
4. In the
Robot Error
dialog box, select
Retry
.
If you are an administrator you can use the interlock override to
continue the run with the overhead doors open.
Emergency stop
error recovery With an emergency stop error, power is cut to modules and devices, and
VWorks loses information about the state that the modules and devices
are in. This prevents VWorks from continuing the protocol.
