Type Type Meaning Meaning
The robot will make up to three The robot will make up to three
attempts to resume operation if the attempts to resume operation if the
system was in automatic mode system was in automatic mode
when the error occurred. If the when the error occurred. If the
attempts fail, a self-test will be attempts fail, a self-test will be
performed after the cow has left performed after the cow has left
the station. If the self-test is the station. If the self-test is
successful, operation will continue. successful, operation will continue.
The robot was able to locate the The robot was able to locate the
teat and read the vacuum in the teat and read the vacuum in the
cup, but did not detect the change cup, but did not detect the change
in vacuum level as the teat entered in vacuum level as the teat entered
the teatcup. Message includes cow the teatcup. Message includes cow
no., cup no. and teat (LF, LR, etc.). no., cup no. and teat (LF, LR, etc.).
The alarm is issued after three The alarm is issued after three
attach attempts. attach attempts.
The arm will continue to attempt to The arm will continue to attempt to
attach the teatcup for one minute. attach the teatcup for one minute.
If the attempts fail, the milking If the attempts fail, the milking
session will be labelled incomplete. session will be labelled incomplete.
If this error occurs for several If this error occurs for several
consecutive milking sessions, the consecutive milking sessions, the
systems will issue the alarm systems will issue the alarm
"Several milkings failed" (major "Several milkings failed" (major
code 1, minor code 107). code 1, minor code 107).
The safety function stopped the The safety function stopped the
robot because readings from the robot because readings from the
position sensor(s) are out of range. position sensor(s) are out of range.
The message includes the axes The message includes the axes
(X.Y,Z) and their status: "1" means (X.Y,Z) and their status: "1" means
that there is a problem with this that there is a problem with this
axis, "0" means that this axis is axis, "0" means that this axis is
OK. OK.
An axis endpoint calibration must An axis endpoint calibration must
be performed. be performed.
The system will perform a self-test The system will perform a self-test
while the cow remains inside the while the cow remains inside the
station. If the self-test is station. If the self-test is
successful, operation will continue. successful, operation will continue.
Otherwise, the system will be Otherwise, the system will be
stopped and this alarm issued. stopped and this alarm issued.
An Axis endpoint calibration is An Axis endpoint calibration is
included in the self-test, which included in the self-test, which
means that the self-test normally means that the self-test normally
succeeds. succeeds.
The robot was stopped because The robot was stopped because
an error was detected by a filter an error was detected by a filter
card. The error concerns either card. The error concerns either
one of the position sensors one of the position sensors
(encoders) or the control signal to (encoders) or the control signal to
one of the proportional valves. one of the proportional valves.
The robot will make up to three The robot will make up to three
attempts to resume operation if the attempts to resume operation if the
system was in automatic mode system was in automatic mode
when the error occurred. If the when the error occurred. If the
attempts fail, a self-test is attempts fail, a self-test is
performed while the cow is still in performed while the cow is still in
the station. If the self-test is the station. If the self-test is
successful, operation will continue. successful, operation will continue.
