Battery Alarm Reset-1

The document provides instructions for resolving two types of battery alarms on a Fanuc robot controller - SRVO-062 and SRVO-065. The 15 step process involves replacing the batteries, resetting variables in the controller menu, moving the robot to its zero position, calibrating the robot coordinates, and verifying proper robot motion. It emphasizes backing up controller data beforehand and establishing a battery replacement schedule to avoid issues in the future.

The SRVO-062 Servo BZAL alarm means that the batteries have either drained completely, or that the

batteries were removed without the Power ON. The SRVO-065 WARN BLAL alarm is a warning indicating
a battery Low Alarm. Before following this procedure, RobotWorx strongly recommends backing up the
controller (ALLTHE BOVE, and IMG), to ensure that the information on the Fanuc controller is saved (and
able to be recovered if necessary). For either alarm you must first replace the batteries with new (with
the power ON), and follow the steps below:

1.) Press [MENU] and [0] for NEXT and [6] for SYSTEM then press [F1] for TYPE and select
[VARIABLES] (which will look like nonsense) all of the variables will start with a $ and will be
in alphabetical order.
2.) You will need to scroll down (using the directional pad; [SHIFT] and the [DOWN ARROW])
until you see the variable [$MCR MCR_T] and press [ENTER].
3.) Them scroll down (these variables are NOT in alphabetical order) until you see [$SPC_RESET
False] highlight the [False] and press the [F4] key for TRUE. You will see the False change to
True briefly, and then change back to False. As long as you saw True at all, everything is
fine, with this part.
4.) Now turn the Power OFF to the Controller, then wait 5-10 sec. and turn back ON.
5.) Press [Menu] then [0] for NEXT and [6] for SYSTEM and press [F1] for TYPE and choose
MASTER/CAL with [ENTER].
6.) This screen has PCA RST above [F3] press [F3] to reset the Pulse Coder Alarm, which after
pressing the [RESET] button will allow you to turn on the servo power.
7.) Then manually move the robot (move robot in the JOINT coordinate system ONLY, paying
close attention NOT to reach the hard axis limits) to the “ZERO POSITION” where all of the
Vernier / scribe / alignment marks are lined up.
8.) Highlight the column which says “ZERO POSITION MASTER” and press [ENTER] you will see a
message on the bottom of the teach pendant screen which says ***“Master at Zero
Position?”*** press [F4] for YES.
9.) Write down the value(s) for the information displayed on the bottom of the teach pendant,
the top left is for J1 pulse count, top center is for J2, top right is for J3, bottom left is for J4,
and so on (these values are important to keep).
10.)After you double-check to make sure you did not write down any incorrect numbers, also
check which numbers are negative and that they are written down correctly.
11.)Highlight the column “Calibrate” and press [ENTER]. A message will appear which says
“Calibrate Robot?” press [F4] for YES.
12.)All values should change to 0.000 (or very close) and your done.
13.)Check the robot motion by manually moving the robot using JGFRM or WORLD coordinate
system to ensure the robot was “Zeroed” correctly. Pay close attention to the last axis (J6)
while moving X +/-, Y +/-, and Z +/-.
14.)Finally trace through all of the programs in Teach Mode before you run anything in Auto, as
the programs may need touched up.
15.)Establish a Maintenance schedule for alkaline battery replacement (usually every 6-8
months), and move your robot to the Zero Position BEFORE changing batteries (which makes
all of this much easier)

***If you DO NOT see this “Master at Zero Position” message from step # 8, then more motion
is needed (for one or more axis) to establish a pulse, and you must move each axis (in JOINT)
15-20 degrees + and – from its Zero Position. Then move each axis back to Zero Position again,
and begin step # 8 again.***
