RobotStudio event

Payload too large error

Hi people.

I have o robot here working well for a long time. Today when I decided do update the tool orientation, it suddenly stopped during the path and showed up a message of "Payload too large - Event message 50140" on axis 5.
I was surprized by that because the fault happend while the robor was moving from 2nd to 3rd point. Obviously I returned the previous tool definition and tried again. But nothing happened. I hear the realys activating to start moving but at the same time they release and the error message shows.
I tried to release the breake and move the 5th axis by hand to see if it was locked but it wasn't. After releasing the breake I could move the  robot again, but another time it stopped during the move and showed the error message, this time related to axis 2. I released the break and handly moved all axis, but the fault persists.

Does anyone knows why it could happend and how to fix it?

  • Ok, I found the error.
    When I updated the tool orientation I used a tool definition provided by Robotmaster, wich was configured to 20Kg. All the other values were ok and I did not realize this differece in the weight. So the controler disbles moving because it thinks a 20kg tool will be hanging on the IRB 1600 robot.
    By the way, the real tool weights less then 0.5Kg.
