SRVO-031: User servo alarm
A deliberately triggered alarm: system variable $MCR_GRP[group].$SOFT_ALARM was set TRUE, usually by a program or integrator logic.
What it means
A deliberately triggered alarm: system variable $MCR_GRP[group].$SOFT_ALARM was set TRUE, usually by a program or integrator logic. The robot is doing what it was told - the question is what set the flag and why.
Common causes
Ranked by what technicians most often find, most likely first.
- Application or background logic setting $MCR_GRP[g].$SOFT_ALARM TRUE - often integrator-installed protection logic.
How to fix it
- Find what sets $SOFT_ALARM - check background tasks, KAREL programs, and integrator documentation for this cell.
- Resolve the condition that logic was protecting against, rather than just clearing the flag.
