Each error code has Notes to show details of the error, and some Notes have the complex information need the explanation.
You can check each error code's Note from the system history of Epson RC+.
Error Code 27, 28: "Safety Board issued a Main stop signal." and "Safety Board issued a Sub stop signal."
The Note for the error message “Safety Board issued a Main stop signal” and “Safety Board issued a Sub stop signal” describe the reason for stoppage by the Safety Function.
Note 1: Type of stop signal
Note 2: Details of stop signal (meaning differs according to Note 1: Type of stop signal)
As the safety functions are monitored by independent redundant circuits, errors with the same Note information may be reported multiple times with error codes 27 (main) and 28 (sub).
The type of safety board stop signal and the current values of the details can also be obtained with the SF_GetStatus function. For more information, refer to the following manual:

*1: If Note 1 is not listed in the table, it is event information for when the Safety Board issues an error notification. No action is required for this notification. You are notified of errors related to this event before and after the system history. Handle the errors appropriately.
Example: "Error 9803" is notified if Note 1 is "134."
*2: The correspondence between the monitored positions X1, X2, Y1, Y2, Z1, Z2 for the Safety Limited Position in the Safety Function Manager and the monitored positions XL, XU, YL, YU, ZL, ZU referred to in this manual is as follows:
- “Wall” selected as the monitored position: X1 = XL, X2 = XU, Y1 = YL, Y2 = YU, Z1 = ZL, Z2= ZU
- “Restricted Area” is selected as the monitored position: X1 = XU, X2 = XL, Y1 = YU, Y2 = YL
For more information, refer to the following manual:
“Robot Controller Safety Function Manual - Setting Safety Limited Position (SLP)”
*3: A 4 to 5-digit number string that indicates the joint number and monitored position.
- Lower 3 digits (digit 1 to 3): Joint number (001: J2, 002: J3, 004: J5, 008: J6)
- Next 1 or 2 digit (digit 4 to 5): Monitored position (1: YL, 2: YU, 4: XL, 8: XU, 16: ZL, 32: ZU)
Example: If Note 2 is "1002," a stop signal was issued because joint number J3 (lower 3 digits are 002) exceeded monitored position YL (next 1 digit is 1).
*4: As SAFETY_IN1 is set to Emergency Stop (ESTOP) in the initial controller settings, connect an emergency stop switch or change the setting with the Safety Function Manager.
*5: As SAFETY_IN2 is set to Safeguard (SG) in the initial controller settings, connect a safeguard (safety fence with safety switch, etc.) or change the setting with the Safety Function Manager.
*6: When the robot stops because the emergency stop switch connected to the emergency stop input connector of the controller or the emergency stop switch on the Teach Pendant was pressed, "121" is recorded in Note 1.
*7: When the robot stops because the safety input causes an emergency stop, "100" is recorded in Note 1.
