Alarms Description
If teaching or saving point is incorrect, for example, Dobot M1 moves to where a point is at a
limited position or a singular position, Dobot M1 will generate an alarm. For details, please see
Table 6.2. When an alarm is generated, the red LED indicator on the base will be on.
NOTICE
Singular point: If the directions of the joint1 and joint2 are collinear, the resultant
velocity of joint1 and joint2 is not in any direction, but in the direction of joint1
(joint2). Namely, the degrees of freedom of Dobot M1 are degraded. The singular
point is at the position where joint2 is located at ±10°. In JUMP and MOVJ mode,
the movement of Dobot M1 is joint movement, Dobot M1 will not generate an alarm
about singular point.
Generally, if you save a point where an alarm is generated when implementing
jogging, the saved point is unavailable. You need to jog Dobot M1 towards the
opposite direction under the Joint coordinate system to clear the alarm, and then
save the point. However, if an alarm about singular point is generated when
