BR2-Trip (Brake error, external axes)

Kuka · KR C2 Robot Controller

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. 1

    Verify the brake control signal voltage at the external brake terminals during activation and deactivation cycles.

  2. 2

    Measure the resistance of the brake coil for the external axes and compare it to specifications.

  3. 3

    Inspect the brake wiring and connectors for continuity and secure connection.

  4. 4

    Check for mechanical obstruction preventing brake release or engagement.
