Handling errors

You can use the fault signal to determine if MOVIKIT® Robotics is in fault status. The fault can be caused by the controller or can be signaled by assigned inverters. You can detect if there is an inverter fault from the fault outputs of the single axes. In the event of a fault or error, the setpoint active signal is set to "FALSE".

When the software module has a fault status, the configured emergency stop ramps are used to automatically decelerate and brake. Once the cause of fault has been removed and the fault has been reset, you may continue. The fault is reset using the Reset signal.

To help find the cause of fault, a unique fault number and an error text are issued in the MessageID signal. In the event of an inverter fault, you can find more information regarding the fault number in the device documentation.
