What the 60100 alarm means

A commanded move would drive a joint past its software limit or the TCP out of the allowed workspace; the controller blocks the motion. This is one of the faults our repair team handles on ROKAE xCore (XB / CR / NB series) systems — the cause is usually identifiable within the first on-site inspection.

Most common causes

  • Taught point beyond a joint limit
  • Wrong frame making valid points appear out of range
  • Software limits set tighter after a cell change
  • Part position drifted
Field note: the first item on this list is what we find most often on real machines. Check it before you go deeper.

Step-by-step field fix

  1. Jog the joint to confirm the real limit
  2. Verify the active frames
  3. Review software limits if the cell layout changed
  4. Re-teach the offending points
  5. Add position checks where parts vary
Safety first: never bypass safety circuits or force contactors closed. If the alarm involves E-stop chains, brakes or drive power, and you are not a trained robot technician, contact a professional — wrong moves here can cost you a robot or an injury.

Frequently asked questions

QWhat does the ROKAE 60100 alarm mean?

A commanded move would drive a joint past its software limit or the TCP out of the allowed workspace; the controller blocks the motion. In field practice it belongs to the motion & path family of faults.

QCan I clear a ROKAE 60100 alarm myself?

Sometimes. Work through the step-by-step checks on this page — the first listed cause is what we find most often in the field. If the alarm returns after two attempts, or the fault involves power, brakes or safety circuits, stop and call a qualified robot service engineer.

QHow fast can a Henghuan engineer help?

On-site response in the Pearl River Delta within 30 minutes to 3 hours, across mainland China in 1-3 business days, and worldwide within 2-5 business days. Remote diagnosis by phone/WhatsApp/video is available immediately.
