Introduction
FANUC is the worlds leading robotics and automation provider. It is the market leader in manufacturing automation and robotics production systems. As a result, FANUC is the automation platform of choice for many industries around the globe. FANUC systems are reliable and allow for a high degree of automation, thus reducing the possibility of human error. However, FANUC robots do not operate without errors, and there are certain error codes that indicate a malfunction or a potential problem. System 900 and higher error codes are serious, and require immediate attention.
What are System 900 and Higher Errors?
System 900 errors are codes that indicate a major malfunction in the FANUC system and require immediate repair. These codes generally represent hardware problems, such as a breakdown in the electronic spinal cord or a misalignment of the robotic arm. In some cases, the System 900 error code may indicate a software issue that requires a software patch or update to resolve. System 900 errors must be addressed in order to ensure the safety of robotic personnel and the continued reliable operation of the FANUC system.
The System 900 codes, though similar to other FANUC error codes, should not be confused with other warning codes from FANUC. System 900 and higher errors are more serious than other FANUC warnings, as they often involve a malfunction of the robot or a software issue, both of which can cause injury if not quickly addressed.
Troubleshooting System 900 and Higher Errors
The first step in troubleshooting a System 900 error code is to isolate the specific problem and determine the source of the malfunction. This can be done by examining the System 900 error log and any accompanying diagnostics, as well as by testing the electrical wiring of the robot and its components. If the cause of the error cannot be ascertained from the diagnostics, the robot should be disconnected and taken to a FANUC-certifi
