There is not sufficient memory to perform the requested operation. Large amounts of memory may be used by the following: loaded GPL procedures, arrays, strings, and the Data Logger. Check if any of these items are unusually large.

This error indicates that a condition has been detected that should not be possible if the controller and its system software are operating properly.  Most likely, this indicates that a software bug has been encountered.  Please report this message along with the process necessary to generate this problem to Precise.

The value of an argument used in a GPL instruction, built-in method, or console command is not allowed.

An overflow has occurred in a system data structure. Most likely, this indicates that a software bug has been encountered. Please report this message along with the process necessary to generate this problem to Precise.

You have attempted to use a feature of GPL or the Precise Controller that is planned but not implemented.

A required argument for a GPL instruction, built-in method, or console command was not supplied.

The "Auto execution mode" specifies the major motion control function that the controller should perform.  For example, the execution of the DIOMotion Blocks and GPL projects are examples of two "Auto execution modes".  This error indicates that an invalid mode has been specified.  Most likely, the value of "Automatic execution mode" (DataID 200) has been set incorrectly.

The current operation has attempted to create more items of an internal data structure than is allowed. Most likely, this indicates that a software bug has been encountered. Please report this message along with the process necessary to generate this problem to Precise.

You have attempted to read a hidden value, access a secured data area without proper authorization, or use the Data Logger on data that cannot be logged.

This error is often generated by GPL application programs that attempt to write to Parameter Database values that cannot be modified when motor power is enabled.  In these cases, disable motor power and retry the operation.

This error message indicates that you have attempted to alter a value that can only be read. For example, this error is generated if you attempt to change the value of an analog input.

This error message indicates that the underlying real-time operating system (the RTOS) or one of its communications drivers has signaled an error that does not correspond to a standard GPL error. The numeric code contains the RTOS error number.

This error is generated if you attempt to execute or enable a software or hardware option that is either not available in your system or has not been enabled.  Typically, this indicates that your system software does not support the desired feature or a parameter has not be properly set.  This is different from missing a required license bit, which is indicated by the "License not installed" error message.  Normally, this error includes one of the following codes that further defines the problem.

   1: Split axis capability is not supported by kinematic module.
   2: External trajectory interface is not support by system software.
   3: Ethernet is not supported by the system software.
   4: TCP network protocol is not supported by system software, so Telnet and GDE may not be used.
   5: UDP network protocol is not supported by system software.
   6: Vision interface is not supported by system software.
   7: Motor linearity compensation is either not supported by the kinematic module or is not enabled.

A required software license is not installed on your controller.  The name of the missing license is shown after this error message. The license names include:

    (1)   Guidance Programming Language
    (2)   Motion control
    (3)   Conveyor tracking
    (4)   Advanced kinematics
    (5)   Complex kinematics
    (6)   Advanced controls
    (7)   Enhanced encoder
    (8)   Encoder latching
    (9)   RIO motion control
   (10)  Software application
   (11)  G&M code support
   (12)  Motion no kinematics support
   (13)  External trajectory
   (14)  XY compliance
   (15)  Z height detection
   (16)  GuidanceMotion application
   (17)  EtherCAT Master

Older GPL systems may display the license number shown above in ( ) rather than the name. The currently installed licenses can be viewed via the web interface by selecting Utilities>Controller Options or by accessing DataID 112, "Software license option bits".  To obtain a required license, contact your system administrator or Brooks.

An invalid password was entered for a protected operation or facility.  Please re-enter the correct password or ask your system administrator for the correct password.

An operation was initiated that was subsequently cancelled.  No further action is required.

Many of the major subsystems of the controller (e.g. the servo code, the trajectory generator, the GPL projects) are serviced by different threads of software that execute independently.  This thread execution is governed in part by the ticking of a master system clock.  When the system restarts, it automatically tests the system clock to ensure that it is ticking at the correct rate.  These errors signify that the system clock is not operating properly. Most likely, this indicates a hardware problem with the main processor board, the MIDS.

An invalid parameter has been entered associated with one of the major tasks of the system.  For example, the update period of the trajectory generator must be specified as a number that is a power of two. 

The firmware in the FPGA is not compatible with the hardware or software configuration options in this controller. The FPGA ("Field Programmable Gate Array") controls the robot power sequencing, encoder interfaces, motor current loop and a host of other critical functions. There are multiple versions of FPGA firmware that support various motors, encoders, and other options. Please obtain a compatible version of the FPGA firmware data or modify your configuration parameters. FPGA firmware may be loaded by following the instructions in the FAQ section of the PreciseFlex™ PreciseFlex Library.

You have attempted to access some aspect of the system that has not been configured. For example, you have attempted to set a parameter for an axis that was not defined in the configuration database.

A kinematic robot module does not exist for the specified robot type.  This typically indicates that a value specified in the "Robot types" (DataID 116) is incorrect.   Please review this list of values and look at the information on the available robot kinematic modules.

In a Servo Network system, the indicated slave controller contains software that is not compatible with the master controller. Update the slave controller's software to a compatible version. Normally the master and all slaves should run the identical GPL software version.
