Brake fault

Kuka · KRC2 KSS System Message

What does 122 mean?

The brake cable monitoring device has detected a short-circuit, overloading, or a break in the brake cable connection. This will result in path-maintaining braking and stop program execution.

Common Causes

  • Brake engagement mechanism failed to disengage or engage correctly.
  • Brake coil short-circuited or open-circuited.
  • Low brake release voltage (e.g., less than 24VDC) preventing disengagement.
  • Mechanical obstruction preventing brake movement.
  • Fault detected in brake control circuit feedback (e.g., P3-01).
