Industrial Robot Controller Repair Guide

Check 2: Check if the LED indicator on the power supply board (PSU) is lit (GREEN).

Repair: If the LED indicator is off, it may be that the 200V power supply for the PSU is missing or the F1 fuse on the PSU is blown:

1 If the 200V power supply is missing, please check the power supply line

2 If the 200V power supply is provided to the PSU, please disconnect the power:

A If the F1 fuse is blown, refer to Repair 2

B If the F1 fuse is not blown, please replace the PSU

Repair 2: Causes of fuse failure and countermeasures

A Check if the CP2 and CP3 connectors between the PSU and other circuit boards are in good contact.

B If the surge absorber VS1 is short-circuited, please replace itVS1 order number: A50L-2001-0122#G431K

C Diode DB1 short-circuited

D Backup power module H1 damaged

If B or C has a fault, please replace the corresponding spare parts

DRAM initialization is complete

1 Replace the CPU card

*2 Replace the MAIN BOARD

4 When the robot system starts, DRAM and SRAM initialization is complete

1 Replace the CPU card

*2 Replace the MAIN BOARD

*3 Replace the FROM/SRAM card

5 When the robot system starts, communication IC initialization is complete

*1 Replace the MAIN BOARD

*2 Replace the FROM/SRAM card

6 When the robot system starts, the basic software loading is complete

*1 Replace the MAIN BOARD

*2 Replace the FROM/SRAM card

7 When the robot powers on and starts the basic software

*1 Replace the MAIN BOARD

*2 Replace the FROM/SRAM card

8 When the robot controller communicates with the TP teach pendant

*1 Replace the MAIN BOARD

*2 Replace the FROM/SRAM card

9 When the robot loads the optional software

*1 Replace the MAIN BOARD

2 Replace the process I/O board

10 When initializing DI/DO

*1 Replace the FROM/SRAM card

*2 Replace the MAIN BOARD

Replacing the MAIN BOARD and FROM/SRAM card will result in the loss of user programs and system settings stored in the machine. Be sure to back up before replacing the MAIN BOARD and FROM/SRAM card; also, make sure to back up before installing the robot system software.

Step

Repair

11 SRAM preparation complete

1 Replace the axis control card

*2 Replace the MAIN BOARD

3 Replace the servo amplifier

12 Axis control card initialization complete

1 Replace the axis control card

*2 Replace the MAIN BOARD

3 Replace the servo amplifier

13 Calibration complete

1 Replace the axis control card

*2 Replace the MAIN BOARD

3 Replace the servo amplifier

14 Robot servo system powered

*1 Replace the MAIN BOARD

15 When executing the program

*1 Replace the MAIN BOARD

2 Replace the process I/O board

16 When executing I/O operations

*1 Replace the MAIN BOARD

17 Initialization completed

Initialization completed normally

18 Robot normal

When the robot is normal, LED1 and LED2 will flash continuously

Replacing the MAIN BOARD and FROM/SRAM card will result in the loss of user programs and system settings stored in the machine. Be sure to back up before replacing the MAIN BOARD and FROM/SRAM card; also, make sure to back up before installing the robot system software.
