General error

What does -1 mean?

This return value from the OR_PATH_REPLAY() function indicates an unspecified or general error occurred during path replay. The exact root cause is not immediately apparent and requires further investigation into the robot's state and the OR_PATH_REPLAY() call parameters. This error prevents the path from being replayed.

• Internal software issue within the OR_PATH_REPLAY() subprogram or the OnRobot KUKA Software.
• Unforeseen robot state or environmental conditions during path execution, such as unexpected collisions or joint limits.
• Corruption of temporary data or communication issues between the KUKA KRC4 controller and the OnRobot Compute Box.
• Incorrect or incompatible parameters passed to the function that did not trigger a more specific error code.
• Resource limitations on the KUKA KRC4 controller or OnRobot Compute Box.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Review the KUKA KRC4 robot's message log for any additional, more specific error messages that might have occurred concurrently with the general error.

2. 2

   Verify the values of SPEED, ACCELERATION, and PATHID parameters passed to OR_PATH_REPLAY() for validity, ensuring they are within operational limits and correctly formatted.

3. 3

   Check the network connection and IP settings between the KUKA KRC4 controller and the OnRobot Compute Box to ensure proper communication and data exchange.

4. 4

   Execute the OR_PATH_REPLAY() function with a simple, known-good path in a controlled environment to isolate potential application-specific issues.

5. 5

   Perform a cold start of the KUKA KRC4 controller and the OnRobot Compute Box to clear any transient software states or memory issues.
