INTRODUCTORY NOTES

1. HARDWARE KEYS AND SWITCHES (BUTTON)

E series controller provides hardware keys and switches on the operation panel and the teach
pendant for various kinds of operations. In this manual the names of the hardware keys and
switches are enclosed with a square as follows. The terms “key” or “switch” which should
follow the relevant names are sometimes omitted for simpler expression. When pressing two or
more keys at the same time, the keys are indicated by “+” as shown in the example below.

EXAMPLES
ENTER: expresses the hardware key “ENTER”.
TEACH/REPEAT: indicates the mode switch “TEACH/REPEAT” on the operation panel.
A+MENU: indicates pressing and holding down A then pressing MENU.

2. SOFTWARE KEYS AND SWITCHES

E series controller provides software keys and switches which appear on the screen of the teach
pendant for various kinds of operations depending on specifications and situations. In this
manual, the names of software keys and switches are enclosed by “< >” parentheses. The terms
“key” or “switch” which should follow the relevant names are sometimes omitted for simpler
expression.

EXAMPLES
<ENTER>: expresses an “ENTER” key that appears on the teach pendant screen.
<NEXT PAGE>: expresses a “NEXT PAGE” key on the teach pendant screen.

3. SELECTION ITEMS

Very often an item must be selected from a menu or pull-down menu on the teach pendant screen.
In this manual the names of these menu items are enclosed in brackets [XXX].

EXAMPLES
[Auxiliary Function]: expresses the item “Auxiliary Function” in a menu. To select it, move the
cursor to the relevant item by the arrow keys, and press the  key. For
detailed description, this procedure should be described every time, but
“select [XXX] item” will be used instead for simpler expression.

2.8 ENCODER

There are three encoder models for the E Controller, MK32, M35 and M40, which differ by
installation method to the motor but share the same basic specifications. These electronic
multi-turn absolute encoders output 33 bits of data via serial communication. The 33 bits is the
sum of 17 bits of absolute angle position within one rotation by an optical encoder and 16 bits of
the number of rotations data read via counter counting magnetic pulse/rotation. The counter
data is backed up by a battery.

2.8.1 MAIN FUNCTIONS

The encoder performs the following functions:

1. Motor rotation angle detection


One rotation: 131072 (217) pulses
Number of rotations: 65536 (216) counts
When the motor rotates in the direction of CCW (seen from motor output axis side), the value
counts up.
Response speed is 6000 rpm

2. Communication
Position data is transmitted synchronizing with the data request signal from the servo board.
(Half duplex serial communications and baud rate: 4 Mbps)

3. Operational state per power supply voltage


Encoder operation changes per power supply voltage. There are three types of operations as
follows:
(1) Non-operating state: All operation stops when power supply is +3.0 V or less.
(2) Backup state: Rotation counter remains functional at +3.6 V to +5 V of power
supply.
(3) Normal operation state: Detects absolute position within one rotation, counts number of
rotations, and communicates with the controller at +5 V of power
supply.

4. Backup
By the backup of a built-in super capacitor, the rotation counter functions properly for 30
minutes after the 1FG/1HG board (encoder battery backup board) is disconnected.

2-35
E Series Controller 2. Description of Controller
Kawasaki Robot Troubleshooting Manual

5. Motor CS signal detection


Detects the magnetic pole position of the motor by installing the encoder at the position where
the rotation origin overlaps with the zero cross point of the motor’s voltage inducing U-phase.

6. Differences between MK32, M35 and M40


Installation method differs depending on the motor. MK32 is for large motors and separation
from the motor is possible. M35 and M40 are for small motors, and separation from the
motor is not possible.

Rated current 1.25 A +5 VDC 11 A
Rated frequency 50/60 Hz +12 VDC 3.0 A
Allowable voltage 160 - 265 VAC +24 VDC 3.5 A
Momentary maximum voltage 280 VAC

2.11.2 MAIN FUNCTIONS

The DC power supply for control (AVR) performs the following functions:

1. Converts input AC power into AC/DC power, and supplies +3.3 V, +5 V, +12 V, +24 V
necessary for each board.

2. Detects AC input power errors, and alerts the 1TR board. There are three types of detection
as follows.

(1) Detection of instant power failure


Detection level is 130 to 145 VAC or less. When this state continues for 25 to 35 msec,
an error signal is output to the 1TR board.
(2) Detection of over-voltage
Detection level is 267 to 283 VAC or more. When this state continues for 1 to 2 sec. or
more, an error signal is output to the 1TR board.
(3) Detection of low voltage
Detection level is 148 to 158 VAC or less. When this state continues for 1 to 2 sec. or
more, an error signal is output to the 1TR board.

3. Shuts down when the DC voltage on the output side is overloaded (outputs 105 % or more of
the rated capacity continuously for 5 sec. or more) or over-voltage state occurs (115 % - 130 %
of the rated capacity). It can be restored by re-inputting the power in 10 sec. or more after
shutdown.

4. Turns ON/OFF the DC output by the remote signal from the 1TR board.

3.0 TROUBLESHOOTING

When troubles occur, they are normally solved based on the error messages that are displayed.
However, for some troubles, messages cannot be displayed due to initial troubles such as
controller power failure or teach pendant screen malfunction, etc.

This chapter divides the errors into two types: initial troubles which can/do not display error
messages, and steady-state troubles which output an error message, and describes the causes and
countermeasures for each type of errors.

3.1 INITIAL TROUBLES AND COUNTERMEASURES

This section describes the following most common initial troubles.

3.1.1 Initial Trouble 1: Controller power Does Not Turn ON


3.1.2 Initial Trouble 2: Teach Pendant Is Not Operable
3.1.3 Initial Trouble 3: Motor Power Does Not Turn ON
3.1.4 Initial Trouble 4: Robot Does Not Move

3.1.1 INITIAL TROUBLE 1: CONTROLLER POWER DOES NOT TURN ON

This occurs when the system does not activate even if the CONTROLLER POWER (NFB
(No-Fuse Breaker)) of the controller is turned ON. In the examples below, the controller power
switch is referred to as the CONTROLLER POWER.

1. When turning ON the CONTROLLER POWER of the controller, the NFB has immediately
tripped.
2. The CONTROLLER POWER in the controller can be turned ON, but the control power lamp
on the operation panel does not light up.

Details of each case are described below.

Case1: When turning ON the CONTROLLER POWER of the controller, the NFB is
immediately tripped.

This occurs when controller power is not supplied to the controller because the NFB in the
controller has immediately tripped (turned OFF), even though CONTROLLER POWER was
turned ON.

Main cause:
1. The AC power line is short-circuited in the controller, and the controller power switch detects
overcurrent and then it has tripped.
2. Failure of the controller power switch.

3-2
E Series Controller 3. Troubleshooting
Kawasaki Robot Troubleshooting Manual

Countermeasure:

! DANGER

1. Before operation, be sure to intercept the external power switch so that the
external power supplied to the controller is shut OFF.
2. Display signs stating clearly “POWER CUT-OFF IN PROGRESS” or
“TROUBLESHOOTING IN PROGRESS”, and take measures to prevent
personnel from accidentally turning ON the power (tag or lock out power
switches, etc.).

1. Cut OFF the CONTROLLER POWER and then check the followings for short-circuit with a
tester (voltmeter).
R: S R: FG
S: T S: FG
T: R T: FG
If there is any short-circuit after checking, replace the parts, such as controller harness,
transformer, etc.
2. Replace the controller power switch.

Case2: CONTROLLER POWER in the controller can be turned ON, but the control
power lamp on the operation panel does not light up.

This occurs when the system does not activate properly because of an abnormality in the external
power supplied to the controller or in the power supply circuit of the controller.

Main cause:
1. The external power voltage supplied to the controller deviates from the specified value, the
external power supply/input cable is disconnected, or the external power is not supplied.
2. Power is not supplied to the AVR.
3. The power is not supplied to the control power lamp due to a failure of the AVR, mother board,
or the lamp itself.
4. Failure in the external control power control wiring for the power sequence board.
5. Failure such as disconnection, short-circuit, etc. of the wiring in the controller.
6. Immediately prior to the trouble occurrence, AVR security function for overcurrent/
overvoltage has been activated.

3-3
E Series Controller 3. Troubleshooting
Kawasaki Robot Troubleshooting Manual

Countermeasure:
1. Check the specification of the external power voltage, and then check the external power
supply/input cable and the external power voltage.
2. Check the connection of the power connector to the AVR.
3. Check the output power voltage of the AVR, and check for failure of the control power lamp.
Replace them if necessary.
4. Check for faults in the external control power control wiring.

3.2 STEADY-STATE TROUBLES AND COUNTERMEASURES

Once a robot starts to move, error messages will be displayed for most assumable troubles. To
solve these troubles, follow the messages. If a trouble occurs under conditions which cannot be
assumed, no error messages will be displayed. In this case, please contact the nearest KHI
service center or branch office with the details of this trouble.

3.3 ERROR CLASSIFICATION

When an assumable error occurs, the code and message for that error is displayed and error is
classified into the following four types depending on its condition and seriousness. Error codes
are displayed with the letter, P, W, E or D in front (representing the error type) followed by a
four-digit number.

1. P: Operation error
Errors caused by operation mistakes. This type of error does not affect robot motion.
Example: “P0126 Illegal switch name.”

2. W: Warning
This is not yet an error but may cause an error if left unfixed.
Example: “W1013 Encoder battery low voltage.”

3. E: Minor failure
This is a minor failure which essentially can be recovered by the error reset function
without turning OFF/ON the controller power after the cause of error is removed.
Example: “E1082 Out of absolute lower limit.”

4. D: Major failure
This is a serious error involving hardware, software or peripheral devices which essentially
cannot be recovered by the error reset function, and its recovery requires turning OFF/ON
the controller power.
Example: “D1528 Controller temperature is out of range.”

Number of IO Signals cannot be read at controller power ON. This error typically occurs in the
following condition.

Number of IO signals set in Aux. function 0611 > Number of mounted IO boards  32

However, when the sequencer board is used, this error does not occur. Also, INT (Number of
Internal Signals) in Aux. function 0611 is a virtual signal of memory and is not related to the IO
board.

Main cause:
1. Incorrect setting in Aux. function 0611 Number of IO Signals.
2. IO board, etc. is not mounted.
3. Incorrect address settings on DIP switch (SW1) for a board address in the IO board.
4. Failure of the IO board.

Countermeasure:
1. Set the correct number of signals in Aux. function 0611 Number of IO Signals.
2. Correctly set the DIP switch (SW1) for a board address in the IO board and then mount it in the
card rack. IO board(s) is usually mounted in the vacant slots starting from the leftmost, but
the board works properly wherever it is mounted.

[ NOTE ]
1. After resetting this error, automatic operation is possible without the IO board.

E Series Controller 3. Troubleshooting
Kawasaki Robot Troubleshooting Manual

Main cause:
1. The internal data of the encoder is not maintained due to a deterioration of the encoder backup
battery voltage, disconnection of the encoder harness, failure of the encoders, etc.
2. When the controller power is turned OFF due to abnormal power supply, etc. during the robot
motion, the arm cannot stop its motion immediately. Because of this, a discrepancy may be
caused between the last encoder value recorded by AS software and the current value at the
actual position of stoppage.
3. Initializing is executed. (This error occurs in all axes.)
4. The motor or the encoder is replaced.
5. The arm (motor) is moved forcibly during the controller power OFF.

Countermeasure:
1. Perform zeroing of the encoder promptly after replacing the motor or the encoder.

! WARNING

There is a possibility that the internal data of the encoder is not


maintained when this error occurs. Therefore, confirm without fail that
angle value for each axis becomes 0 after setting all axes to their scribe
marks (mechanical origin) in teach mode. If the angle values do not
become 0, execute zeroing without fail.

! CAUTION
After the error reset, automatic operation is possible.
However, beware there is a high possibility of causing
malposition of the robot as the current value goes out of
order. Do not fail to confirm the above-mentioned zeroing
and the playback of steps in check mode.

2. Check the battery for the encoder backup, and when it decreases to +3.3 V or less, replace the
battery promptly. Replace the encoder batteries used in all axes, including conveyor, at the
same time.
3. Check for disconnection or short-circuit in the encoder harness.

4.1 GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ON REPLACEMENT

This section describes the precautions to be taken when replacing parts due to trouble, etc.

This information is presented here for use as general precautions. In addition to these, adhere
the safety measures required for each replacement procedure.

! CAUTION

Parts replacement duties are limited to personnel who have


completed special training and education for the installed
robot or for an equivalent model.

1. Read and understand thoroughly all manuals, specifications and related documents provided
by Kawasaki before operation.

2. Before entering the safety fence (safeguarded space), make sure all necessary safety
measures are prepared and functioning well.

3. Before starting replacement work, shut OFF controller power up to the external power
switch. Display signs indicating clearly “POWER CUT-OFF IN PROGRESS” or
“REPLACEMENT IN PROGRESS”, and lock out/tag out the external power switch to
prevent personnel from accidentally turning ON the power.

4. Before starting replacement work, secure enough space around the robot so there is no
danger of interference with peripheral systems. Shut down the peripheral systems
completely so they will not make any sudden motion.

5. Disable automatic operation functions when entering the safety fence. If the robot makes
any abnormal motion, press EMERGENCY STOP switch immediately, and evacuate on a
planned path of retreat.

6. In addition to the EMERGENCY STOP switch operated by the technician, install another
EMERGENCY STOP switch for the supervisor outside the safety fence, in a place where the
robot’s entire motion range can be monitored and the switch is accessible and easy for the
supervisor to press. If the robot moves abnormally during observation of the replacement,
press the EMERGENCY STOP switch immediately. After an emergency stop, reset and
restart robot operations from outside the fence. Moreover, monitoring duties are limited to
personnel who are trained and qualified.
4-3
E Series Controller 4. Procedures for Replacement
Kawasaki Robot Troubleshooting Manual

7. Use only Kawasaki approved parts during replacement.

8. When replacing printed boards, do not fail to turn OFF controller power. To replace servo
amplifier, MC unit/power unit, or AVR, wait at least seven minutes after controller power
OFF before disconnecting connectors. then confirm that output voltage from the DC power
supply and the P-N voltage are 0 V.

9. During operation, both technician and supervisor must always watch out for abnormal
motion and possible pinch points in and around the robot.

10. Semiconductors are often used in printed boards. Note that these semiconductors are
sensitive to static electricity, be sure to discharge any electrostatic on the body before
handling the printed boards.

11. Directly touching the parts containing semiconductors may cause electrostatic discharge
damage. When handling printed boards, do not touch the semiconductors directly but hold
the periphery of the printed boards. If parts must be touched directly, confirm that
electrostatic on the body has been discharged.

12. Putting printed boards directly onto the controller, etc. may cause electrostatic discharge
damage. Be sure to put them on an electrostatic-proof mat board or sheet, or enclose
printed boards in an electrostatic-proof bag.

13. Avoid removing printed boards at controller power ON, or turning the controller power ON
without any printed boards mounted.

14. Take a record of all data set currently on controller, printed boards, etc. so the system can be
restored to its normal operating condition.

15. To prevent position deviation of the robot, take a record of the robot’s pose before starting the
replacement procedure.

16. Be sure to connect connectors and cables correctly. When using connectors equipped with
locks, do not fail to lock after insertion. Do not touch connector pins.

17. Immediately after robot motion stop, the heat sink, the regenerative resistor, etc. may be very
hot. Do not touch the servo amplifier unit directly, there is a danger of burn.

4-4
E Series Controller 4. Procedures for Replacement
Kawasaki Robot Troubleshooting Manual

18. Printed boards and servo amplifiers are designed differently for each robot model. Be sure
to replace the correct type.

19. When air or water is supplied, shut OFF the supply source and release any remaining
pressure from the lines before starting any replacement procedure.

20. Use lighting of 1500 lux or more to avoid mistakes when reading data or replacing defective
parts.

21. After completion of replacement, confirm that the controller functions with no abnormality.

22. When mounting a part by screws, tighten them to the torque shown in the table below unless
specified in the manual.
