OC5-Trip (I*t Overload)

Kuka · KR C2 Robot Controller

What does 15 mean?

This fault indicates an I*t overload condition. For the KPS-600, it specifically refers to an overload of the brake resistor during operation, suggesting prolonged or heavy braking cycles. For KSDs, it indicates a general I*t overload, meaning the thermal capacity of a component (likely the motor or drive's power stage) has been exceeded over time, risking damage.

Repair Steps

  1. 1

    Verify the motor nominal current setting in the drive parameters matches the motor nameplate FLA.

  2. 2

    Check the acceleration and deceleration ramp times in drive parameters — ensure they are not excessively short for the load inertia.

  3. 3

    Monitor the actual motor load during operation and compare it against the motor's rated capacity.

  4. 4

    For brake resistor overload (KPS-600), verify the sizing and resistance of the brake resistor are appropriate for the application.
