Troubleshooting C203A0 Safety Settings Mismatch (PolyScope X)

Fix the C203A0 safety settings mismatch fault on a Universal Robots cobot running PolyScope X. Unlock the Safety screen and apply the new safety settings.

Written by Doug Ayers

This article is for robots running PolyScope X. If your robot runs PolyScope 5, see Troubleshooting C203A0 Safety Settings Mismatch (PolyScope 5).

If fault C203A0 appears after a Beacon URCap install or update, this is expected — this article will fix it.

What You'll See

  • Fault code C203A0 on the teach pendant

  • The robot arm in fault state — programs won't run

Fix the Fault

Make sure the correct Beacon program for your application is loaded before you start. These steps apply safety settings to the program that's loaded now. If the wrong program is loaded, the fault won't clear.

The whole fix happens on the Safety screen. Unlock it with the safety password, apply the new settings, then reload.

  1. Tap OK to dismiss the fault.

How to Verify

After the reload, fault C203A0 should not appear. The robot arm starts up normally. You can run programs normally.
