Overvoltage PMx
KPS Intermediate Circuit Overvoltage During Operation
Kuka · KR C2 Robot Controller
What does Overvoltage PMx mean?
An overvoltage condition has been detected in the intermediate circuit of the KPS module (PMx) during operation. This can be caused by excessively high mains voltage or a defective ballast switch not dissipating regenerative energy.
Repair Steps
- 1
Measure the incoming mains voltage at the KPS input terminals. If it exceeds specifications, identify and rectify the source of the high voltage.
- 2
If the mains voltage is within specifications, the ballast switch inside the KPS module may be defective; exchange the KPS module.
