Error Code Reference
The MagnaTran 7 Robot will generate error messages in the form of a hexadecimal
number when a problem with a software command is encountered. The following
table lists all Error Codes in numeric order, which also provides a grouping of error
codes by error type.
NOTE:
This list contains error messages that may be generated by the robot in all configu-
rations. It is possible that a specific configuration of the robot will never generate
some of these error messages.
In PKT mode, the error codes will appear as numbers; in MON mode, the error codes
will appear as messages.
Additional troubleshooting procedures are located in Chapter 10.

information. Next, the operator is to refer to the appropriate failure mode in
