more than 16 nested subdirectories, you cannot read the files in
subdirectories nested deeper than 16 levels. In that case you will need to
use the system that created the disk to copy the files to a directory that is
nested less deeply.
*Switch can’t be enabled* (–314)
Explanation: An ENABLE command for a certain switch has been rejected because of
some error condition. For example, ENABLE POWER will fail if the
system is in FATAL ERROR state.
User action: Review the description for the switch you are trying to enable, correct the
error condition, and try again.
*SYSFAIL asserted* (–629)
Explanation: A board on the VME bus has encountered a severe error and asserted
SYSFAIL which turns off high power. If that error is seen, it indicates a
transient SYSFAIL signal or a problem with either the motion interface
board or the SIO module.
User action: Restart the system. Check for proper seating of the system boards and
correct device connections to the boards. Test the system with as many
boards removed as possible, adding boards back in until the problem
board is identified. If the problem persists, contact Adept customer
service.
*Time-out nulling errors* Mtr n (–1003)
Explanation: The indicated motor took too long to complete the last motion, possibly
because the robot is blocked and cannot reach its destination.
User action: Turn on high power and retry the motion after making any necessary
program changes. If this error occurs repeatedly, contact Adept
Application Engineering for assistance.
*Timeout enabling amplifier* Mtr n (–1009)
Explanation: The power amplifier for the indicated motor has signaled a fault
condition. A momentary power failure or a hardware error may have
occurred.
User action: Turn high power back on and restart the program. If the error persists,
contact Adept Customer Service.
*Timeout enabling power* (–675)
Explanation: High power did not enable within the allowed amount of time, and the
servos reported no other error during the timeout period.
User action: For non-Adept robots, this error is not applicable.
For Adept robots, double-check your installation (cabling, AC power line
voltages, circuit breakers, amplifier retaining screws, cables, and
contactors). For information about the correct configuration for
installation, refer to your Robot Instruction Handbook. Make sure that the
