Fanuc TMAT Alarm Codes

TMAT-000 WARN Offset is out of range
Cause: TorchMate has found that the offset of the torch from the original TCP is beyond the offset
limits in the SETUP screen.
Remedy: Determine if the Torch needs to be replaced at this time. Replace it if necessary, or increase
the offset limits in the TorchMate SETUP screen.
________________________________________________________________
TMAT-001 WARN Sensor is ON before search
Cause: The wire is in contact with the touch plate or is grounded prior to executing the touch move;
CAUSE 1: The wire stickout is too long; CAUSE 2: The starting position for the touch move is to
close to the touch plate; CAUSE 3: The weld equipment touch circuit or user provided external
touch circuit has shorted.
Remedy: REMEDY1: Shorten the wire stickout before TorchMate execution by retracting the wire
or clipping the wire; REMEDY 2: Increase the value of the Start Search position in the TorchMate
SETUP menu; REMEDY 3: Contact the manufacturer for proper use of their touch sense circuit
(ie. the welder may require a blocking diode) and inspect any touch circuit hardware for correct
installation or for damaged components.
________________________________________________________________
TMAT-002 WARN Sensor failed during search
Cause: Cause1:The TorchMate sensor circuit indicates the wire is in contact with the touch plate
before the search move (too much stickout-the search start distance is too small.) Cause 2: An
electrical short exists in the touch circuit (for example, some circuits require a blocking diode on the
power supply.)
Remedy: Remedy1: Decrease the stickout, increase the search start distance, or replace the bent torch.
Remedy 2: Contact the supplier of your weld equipment regarding the touch circuit requirements and
auxilliary wiring (if needed.)
________________________________________________________________
TMAT-003 WARN Z offset is not mastered
Cause: This error indicates that Z compensation was disabled while mastering and enabled during
TorchMate adjustment. TorchMate cannot compensate for Z offset if it is not mastered.
Remedy: Disable Z compensation in the TorchMate SETUP screen.
________________________________________________________________
TMAT-004 WARN Program paused while mastering
Cause: Mastering was stopped by releasing the SHIFT key.
Remedy: Select the MASTER softkey to execute mastering. Press and hold the SHIFT key until
mastering is complete.
________________________________________________________________
TMAT-005 WARN WO[1] is not available for output
Cause: The TorchMate output signal has been assigned to the Weld Start output.
Remedy: Reassign the TorchMate output signal to the welder’s touch sense circuit, or to an external
circuit designed to provide the touch input when the wire contacts the touch plate.
________________________________________________________________
TMAT-006 WARN Override must be 100 %%
Cause: The speed override must be 100% during both mastering and TorchMate Adjustment.
Remedy: Set the override to 100%, and execute mastering or TorchMate Adjust again.
________________________________________________________________
TMAT-007 WARN Dry run is not allowed
Cause: TorchMate does not function if DRY RUN is turned on.
Remedy: Display the Test Cycle menu, and turn DRY RUN off.
________________________________________________________________
TMAT-008 WARN TorchMate is not mastered
Cause: CAUSE1: TorchMate Adjustment was attempted before mastering. CAUSE 2: TorchMate
Ajustment has Z offset enabled, but the mastering was done with Z offset disabled. CAUSE 3:
TorchMate Ajustment has Z offset disabled, but the mastering was done with Z offset enabled.
Remedy: Calibrate the TCP correctly before using TorchMate Adjustment.
________________________________________________________________
TMAT-009 WARN No unassigned MACRO is available
Cause: The automatic setup of macros during installation cannot find an unused Macro number. No
macro table entry will be automatically assigned to TM_ADJST, TM_ADJ2, TM_ADJ3.
Remedy: The Macro teach pendant program will be loaded on the controller. Remove an unused
Macro from the Macro table, and assign TM_ADJST to that number if you require the TorchMate
macro assignment in the Macro table.
________________________________________________________________
TMAT-010 WARN Cannot run TorchMate in T1 Mode
Cause: An attempt was made to run TorchMate adjust or mastering in T1 mode on a CE or Control
reliable controller. This error applies to TorchMate and TorchMateII on R-J, R-J2, and early software
releases on R-J3 controllers. This restriction does not apply to software releases on R-J3 and later
controllers.
Remedy: On the affected controllers, change the Teach mode to T2 and rerun mastering or TorchMate
adjustment.
________________________________________________________________
TMAT-011 WARN Multiple equipment is not defined
Cause: TorchMate mastering or TorchMate adjustment has been attempted on an undefined
equipment.
Remedy: Set up multiple equipment prior to mastering or using TorchMate adjustment on this
equipment.
________________________________________________________________
TMAT-012 WARN System Utool is not defined
Cause: The UTOOL that you are trying to adjust or master is not defined.
Remedy: Set up your UTOOL using the six-point method.
________________________________________________________________
TMAT-013 WARN %s is corrupt or does not exist
Cause: The UTOOL that you are trying to adjust or master is not defined.
Remedy: On the ATFLASH release media for your robot, locate the the programs
PRODUCT\TORCHMAT\TMTMPLT.TP and PRODUCT\TORCHMAT\TMTPSET1.TP. Copy
these to the root level of the media. Insert the media into the port on the controller SOP. From the
MENU/FILE screen, perform a [DIR] on the memory card (MC:) for *.TP. Load these files selecting
to OVERWRITE when prompted.
________________________________________________________________
TMAT-014 WARN Abort program using G:%s
Cause: During TorchMate mastering, the MOVETO operation in the TorchMate SETUP screen, or
TorchMate adjustment was attempted on a motion group currently held by a PAUSED or RUNNING
program.
Remedy: Abort the PAUSED or RUNNING program prior to executing any of these functions.
________________________________________________________________
TMAT-015 WARN G:%s does not support TorchMate
Cause: TorchMate mastering or TorchMate adjustment was used on a motion group that is not
associated with the robot(s) in your system. CAUSE 1: At mastering, the group is determined by the
currently selected jog motion group as shown in the TP status line. You have selected for jogging a
motion group associated to a positioner, nobot, or index device. CAUSE 2: TorchMate adjustment
has macros for each robot group installed on your system. The currently executing program includes
a TorchMate macro and does not include that correct robot motion group, or it does not contain
a robot motion group at all.
Remedy: REMEDY1: Select for jogging a motion group that is associated with the robot(s) in your
system. REMEDY 2: Correct the programming error.
________________________________________________________________
TMAT-016 WARN Run TorchMate before edit
Cause: This indicates that the TorchMate Touchup Monitor has been turned on (Touchup monitor
value is > 0.0 Hrs.), that the program contains a robot motion group(s), and that a TorchMate
adjustment has not been done within the alloted time.
Remedy: This is cleared by pressing the ENTER key. It is recommended that you execute TorchMate
adjust for the motion group(s) in this program prior to touching up any points.
________________________________________________________________
TMAT-017 WARN Collision! Run TorchMate
Cause: This indicates that the TorchMate collision monitor has been turned on and that it has detected
that a collision detect alarm, a disturbance excess alarm, or a move/stop error excess alarm has
occurred.
Remedy: This alarm causes a prompt box to be displayed. Press the ENTER key to clear the prompt
box. Inspect the torch for collision damage. Run TorchMate adjust if necessary.
