Our facility has many ABB robots and every now and then one will get a fatal application error.

Program: Taf.exe

Exception: 0X80000002

What can be done to prevent this?

What RobotWare version do you have? Can you provide a list of the options that your controller has installed? Is there a particular activity that causes this error? This is a generic error that can have numerous causes.

The robots have various RW versions ranging from 5.08_01.1009 to 5.10_0147. They have the following options:

The first step I would take would be to upgrade to the latest RobotWare version. As I mentioned, there have been a variety of fixes over time to address this sysmptom. Do you have any custom (3rd party) FlexPendant applications installed? Unhandled exceptions in user applications can also cause errors for Taf.exe.
