What does 26024 mean?

The maximum permissible following error for the specified drive has been exceeded. This indicates a significant deviation between the commanded position and the actual position of the axis. While undesirable in normal operation, this monitoring function may be deactivated using `SET_TORQUE_LIMITS(..., monitor #off)` when operating in torque mode to prevent spurious errors.

Repair Steps

  1. 1

    Identify the specific drive mentioned in the error message to pinpoint the affected axis.

  2. 2

    If the robot is operating in torque mode, verify that the `SET_TORQUE_LIMITS()` function is correctly configured with `monitor #off` if this monitoring is not desired.

  3. 3

    In normal operation, check for mechanical obstructions, excessive load, or incorrect motion parameters that could cause large following errors.

  4. 4

    Inspect the motor, gearbox, and position feedback device for the affected drive for any signs of damage or malfunction.
