What does 142 mean?
This fault indicates an error in the brake system for the external axes (KPS-600). Similar to main axes, this could be caused by a faulty brake component, incorrect control signals, or power issues, affecting the ability to hold external loads safely and reliably.
Repair Steps
- 1
Verify the brake control signal voltage at the external brake terminals during activation and deactivation cycles.
- 2
Measure the resistance of the brake coil for the external axes and compare it to specifications.
- 3
Inspect the brake wiring and connectors for continuity and secure connection.
- 4
Check for mechanical obstruction preventing brake release or engagement.
