Code APSH-060: Cycle start ignored-not in AUTO
Issue Description & Safety Warning
The Fanuc R-30i Series Robot Controller has triggered a critical Cycle start ignored-not in AUTO alarm. Immediate attention from a qualified operator or maintenance technician is required to prevent secondary damage to the equipment or spoiled parts during the manufacturing cycle. Always ensure standard safety and LOTO procedures are followed before accessing electrical cabinets.
Official Troubleshooting Steps
Cause: This is not a fault. This error is posted when the robot is sent a cycle start from the cell controller, but the robot is either in BYPASS mode (set from Soft Panel menu) or in MANUAL mode, but no manual cycle start has been initiated. It is also possible that the robot is in the MANUAL mode and a MANUAL CYCLE was requested, but the style sent by the PLC does not match the one specified on the SOFT PANEL. Remedy: In most cases, this fault can be ignored. This fault was put in to assist in debugging problems with the soft panel in Dispense tool. If you are trying to initiate a MANUAL CYCLE, make sure the MANUAL CYCLE STYLE inputted into the Soft Panel menu is the same as what the PLC is sending.
