Kawasaki Error Messages
The following errors may occur while running the Standard Interface program on the robot.
Invalid TCP Socket ID
Error: Invalid TCP socket
-
Description: When the program called the TCP_SEND or TCP_CLOSE functions, the value of vis_socket was incorrect.
-
Troubleshooting:
-
Check the robot program to see if TCP_CONNECT is called before TCP_SEND or TCP_CLOSE. TCP_CONNECT must be called first to assign the value to the variable vis_socket.
-
Check if the variable vis_socket has been used in other user programs.
-
Communication Close Failure
Error: TCP_CLOSE fault
-
Description: Calling the TCP_CLOSE function failed.
-
Troubleshooting:
-
Check if the hardware is properly connected.
-
Check if the Standard Interface service (TCP ASCII) is started in Mech-Vision.
-
Contact Mech-Mind Technical Support for further assistance.
-
Communication Connection Failure
Error: TCP connect fault
-
Description: Calling the TCP_CONNECT function failed.
-
Troubleshooting:
-
Check if the hardware is properly connected.
-
Check if the Standard Interface service (TCP ASCII) is started in Mech-Vision.
-
Check if the IP addresses of the robot and the IPC are on the same subnet, and if the port number is configured correctly.
-
Check if the firewall is turned off on the IPC.
-
Contact Mech-Mind Technical Support for further assistance.
-
Invalid Data Being Sent during Communication
Error: TCP_SEND null string
-
Description: The string sent when the TCP_SEND function was called was empty.
-
Troubleshooting: Check if the variable $vis_data[1] has been used in other user programs.
TCP Sending Failure
Error: TCP_SEND fault
-
Description: Communication failed when the TCP_SEND function was called.
-
Troubleshooting:
-
Check the parameter settings of TCP_SEND.
-
Contact Mech-Mind Technical Support for further assistance.
-
Retry Times Exceeding the Limit on TCP Sending Failure
Error: TCP_SEND retry counter exceed limit
-
Description: Communication failed when the TCP_SEND function was called, and retry times exceeded the set limit.
-
Troubleshooting:
-
Check the parameter settings of TCP_SEND.
-
Contact Mech-Mind Technical Support for further assistance.
-
TCP Receiving Failure
Error: TCP_RECV fault
-
Description: Communication failed when the TCP_RECV function was called.
-
Troubleshooting:
-
Check the program to see if the functions TCP_SEND and TCP_RECV are called in the correct sequence.
-
Check if the Standard Interface service (TCP ASCII) is started in Mech-Vision.
-
Check the parameter settings of TCP_RECV.
-
Retry Times Exceeding the Limit on TCP Receiving Failure
Error: TCP_RECV retry counter exceed limit
-
Description: Communication failed when the TCP_RECV function was called, and retry times exceeded the set limit.
-
Troubleshooting:
-
Check the program to see if the functions TCP_SEND and TCP_RECV are called in the correct sequence.
-
Check if the Standard Interface service (TCP ASCII) is started in Mech-Vision.
-
Check the parameter settings of TCP_RECV.
-
Invalid Interface Command
Error: CMD error
-
Description: The command code received did not match the one sent.
-
Troubleshooting:
-
The sequence of command sending and receiving was incorrect.
-
Contact Mech-Mind Technical Support for further assistance.
-
Invalid Status Code
Error: IPC error
-
Description: An invalid status code was in the received data for the interface command called by the program. Please check the log messages in the Console tab of Mech-Vision Log panel.
-
Troubleshooting:
-
Please refer to the Status Codes and Troubleshooting to find troubleshooting instructions.
