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:
