K1-Trip (Main contactor K1 stuck)

Kuka · KR C2 Robot Controller

What does 111 mean?

This fault indicates that the main contactor K1 is stuck, meaning it has failed to open or close as commanded (KPS-600). This can prevent the system from safely powering up or shutting down, and can lead to continuous power supply to the drive even when disengaged, posing a safety risk.

Repair Steps

  1. 1

    Verify the coil voltage for main contactor K1 during commanded open and close states.

  2. 2

    Manually actuate K1 (if safe to do so with power off) and verify proper mechanical movement.

  3. 3

    Measure the continuity of the main power contacts of K1 when commanded open and closed.

  4. 4

    Inspect K1 contacts for signs of welding, pitting, or other physical damage.
