Kawasaki Error Messages

The following errors may occur while running the Standard Interface program on the robot.

Note

If robot reports an error message and the program is halted, please cancel the program and select it from the directory again after the problem is resolved.

Error: Invalid TCP socket

When the program calls the TCP_SEND or TCP_CLOSE functions, the value of vis_socket is incorrect.

Troubleshooting

  • Check the program to see if TCP_CONNECT is called before TCP_SEND or TCP_CLOSE. TCP_CONNECT must be called first to assign value to vis_socket.

  • Check if the variable vis_socket is used in other user programs.

Error: TCP_CLOSE fault

Calling the TCP_CLOSE function failed.

Troubleshooting

  • Check if the hardware is properly connected.

  • Check if the Standard Interface service is started in Mech-Vision.

  • Contact Mech-Mind Technical Support for further assistance.

Error: TCP connect fault

Calling the TCP_CONNECT function failed.

Troubleshooting

  • Check if the hardware is properly connected.

  • Check if the Standard Interface service is started in Mech-Vision.

  • Check the IP addresses of the robot and the IPC, 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.
