Axis is stopping, cannot load move
ABB · Application Error ABB Motion Drives Error trouble shoo
What does 236 mean?
This error is returned if an attempt is made to issue (load) another move command while the axis is already in the process of stopping. This applies not only to move commands but also if a CANCEL or STOP command is issued while the axis is already stopping or processing another CANCEL.
Common Causes
- Issuing a new move command while the axis is actively executing a stop or deceleration command.
- Attempting to issue a CANCEL or STOP command redundantly while the axis is already processing a stopping sequence.
- Program logic that does not verify the axis status (e.g., using PAUSE IDLE(0)) before issuing new motion commands.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Amend the Mint program to ensure the axis is in an idle state before issuing any new move commands or stopping instructions.
- 2
Implement a check for the axis idle condition using the `PAUSE IDLE(0)` keyword in the Mint program before sending subsequent motion commands.
- 3
Review the program flow to prevent overlapping motion commands, particularly during deceleration or stopping sequences.
- 4
Ensure that CANCEL or STOP commands are issued only when necessary and not redundantly during an existing stopping process.
