Hello Everyone,

We had robot abb irb 6640 and irc5 controller with track motion irbt 6004, and we need to using just the robot at somewhere else without the track motion. But i got error massage, that we need attach the robot with the track motion. How to deactivate this external axis so we can use it without track motion, and use it again when the other job was done.

Regards,
