correct the issue contact Abbott Customer Service.

Communications Failure

If the communications link between the user interface and the workcell controller is
broken, the mode in the status box will display [COMMSFAILURE], as shown below.

This error should clear itself. Leave the user interface for at least two minutes to
re-establish communications automatically.
