The robot will make up to three
attempts to resume operation if the
system was in automatic mode
when the error occurred. If the
attempts fail, a self-test is
performed while the cow is still in
the station. If the self-test is
successful, operation will continue. The robot will make up to three
attempts to resume operation if the
system was in automatic mode

successful, operation will continue.
2 107 Air button is
pressed Stop alarm Robot operation was attempted
while the touch-screen button
"Robot air lock" was enabled
(indicated by a cross beside the
button).
Note that the reference to "air" is
incorrect. The name refers to
previous models of VMS that used
compressed air to move the arm;
the air-lock button prevented the
arm from moving. The principle
function is the same in hydraulic
systems. Disable the "Robot air lock" button; do as
described below.
Warning: Keep out of the arm's working
area when disabling the lock button.
- On the touch screen, open the Robot
Service window.
- Press the "Robot air lock" button. Make
sure there is no cross beside the button.
If appropiate measures have been taken
and the problem persists, contact the
service engineer. 2 107 Air button is

2 111 Demanded
position is
beyond limit,
axes
(X:...Y:...Z:...) Stop alarm The robot could not reach the
specified position because the
position is located outside its
working range.
The message includes the axes
(X, Y, Z) and their status: "1"
means that there is a problem with
this axis, "0" means that this axis is
OK.
This should never occur if the
configuration of the robot is correct. - If this rarely ever occurs, try the desired
action once again.
- If the problem persists, contact service
engineer. 2 111 Demanded

The system will perform a self-test
while the cow remains inside the
station. If the self-test is
successful, operation continues.
Otherwise, the system will be
stopped and this alarm issued. Service engineer only:
This could either be due to a software
problem, or that the geometry of the robot is
incorrect. In the latter case, the robot has to
be re-calibrated. Call the Help desk for
advice. The system will perform a self-test

2 113 Camera is
not
responding Stop alarm Too long time elapsed for the
camera to deliver a picture (for
example, when searching for teats). - Run a self-test (Robot Control window on
touch screen), or Test Misc no 20 (Robot
Service window on touch screen), which is
faster. If no alarm is issued, then the
camera has recovered.
- If the problem persists, call service
engineer. 2 113 Camera is

performed while the cow is still in
the station. If the self-test is
successful, operation will continue. Service engineer only:
- Check the connections in the connection
box (junction between upper and lower
arm). Poor connection is the usual reason
for this alarm.
- Besides poor connection, the camera unit
itself might be damaged (internal
connection failure, etc.).
