NICE Robus Hi-Speed RBS600HS at a glance
NICE Robus RBS is a family of non-reversible electromechanical gearmotor operators for sliding gates. The high-speed operator model Robus RBS Hi-Speed is supplied with a built-in (but removable) NICE MCU4 control unit with an integrated radio receiver and an SM connector for plug-in radio receivers of the OXI type, such as NICE OXIBD. It features an ON-OFF function for disabling the internal receiver (in Level I programming). The internal receiver does not support FloR or Flo encoding.
Wiring for external devices ( photocells, warning light and similar devices) has been simplified across the NICE Robus RBS range by the BlueBUStechnology, which allows multiple devices to be connected to a shared terminal using a single two-core cable (with no need to observe polarity). It is also possible to connect conventional relay photocells.
The built-in Wi-Fi receiver allows you to control the automation system using the My Nice Pro mobile app. Together with the programming device Nice Proview , it lets you configure and program the operator’s functions remotely, directly from your smartphone. The app is available for Android and iOS.
Compared with MCU1 the control unit MCU4 is more modern and faster and offers more options and accessories for automation. The MCU4 also features an OSE input (Optoelectronic Safety Edge, max. 15 mA) and NICE MLAE22 port expansion board. The board offers 2 additional outputs (one of which is 230 V) and 2 inputs for connecting accessories to the control unit.
User-friendly BlueBUS technology BlueBUS makes it easy to power and control up to 7 pairs of photocells using a two-core cable.
Photocells can be integrated directly beneath the cover of the Robus RBS Hi-speed (RBS600HS) drive, giving the gate a neat, attractive appearance. gate. The RBSKITSAFE1 installation kit is not included as standard and must be purchased separately. In addition, the RBS600HS can be upgraded with a so-called white status light, purchased separately as the ELMM.
Automatic operation of the drive depends on the power supply. In the event of a power failure, the motor can be released using the release key.. A NICE PSS124 backup batterycan be purchased separately to keep the drive operating during a power failure. The older backup power supply NICE PS124 model is compatible only when used with the CABLA11.
The “Slave Unit” function (master-slave mode) enables synchronised control of two motors, allowing a pair of sliding gates that open towards each other to be automated. It is also compatible with the older Robus RB600, model, but only from the version with the RBA3R10 control unit. The older RBA3/c is not compatible with the RBS..
The integrated “Eye Check” system provides visual feedback via an LED indicator (red/green). Green indicates movement, while red indicates active photocells, abnormal conditions and errors.
It features a gear wheel module 4, compatible with the gear rack in our range. The limit switch is inductive..
The high-speed Nice Robus Hi-speed RBS600HS drive features obstacle detection and a temperature sensor that adjusts the drive’s pulling force to the weather conditions and is protected by a thermal fuse..
Its high-quality construction and IP44. Robus Hi-Speed RBS600HS is compatible with Nice accessories.
Choosing a drive – is the NICE Robus Hi-Speed RBS600HS suitable for my gate?
Every gate has a size (i.e. a lever arm) and a weight (i.e. the force exerted by the lever arm), and every drive has its limits.. The NICE Robus Hi-Speed RBS600HS drive is suitable for the following gate leaf lengths and weights:
|
Cycles per hour / consecutive cycles |
Gate leaf weight | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| up to 400 kg | up to 600 kg | ||
| Gate leaf length | up to 4 m | 35 | 40 |
| up to 8 m | 20 | 20 | |
In general, the length of the gate leaf determines the maximum number of cycles per hour and consecutive cycles, indicating how long the drive can operate. A heavier gate reduces these figures proportionally because it places greater strain on the drive, and also determines the maximum permitted speed for the given load. The drive has a thermal fuse that monitors the temperature of the motor and its surroundings and reduces the number of possible cycles accordingly.
The stated values apply when the manufacturer’s conditions are met (weather conditions, temperatures, gate stiffness and smooth gate movement). In practice, we recommend keeping the total load to approximately 80% of these limits.
Limits of the NICE Robus Hi-Speed RBS600HS drive
The stated values are recommended by NICE. Based on our experience, we recommend allowing a margin of around 20% below the stated values:
| Robus RBS400HS | Maximum | Minimum |
|---|---|---|
| Gate leaf length | 8 m | 6 m |
| Gate leaf weight | 600 kg | 480 kg |
Running the drive at its maximum capacity shortens its service life. Below is an estimated service-life calculation based on stress factors.
Service life of the NICE Robus Hi-Speed RBS600HS drive
Add the stress index values for gate leaf weight and length in the table, then add the indices for other factors (if applicable). Then use the graph to estimate the drive’s service life in cycles.
Example: A gate with a 4.5 m clear opening and a weight of up to 200 kg: length index ~30 + weight index 10 + low-temperature index 10 ⇒ total 40. The graph indicates ~120,000 cycles, which at 10 operations per day is ≈ 32 years.
| Characteristics of the complete automation system | Index | Service life graph |
|---|---|---|
| Gate leaf weight | 
The recommended maximum total index is up to 75% (≈ 40,000 cycles; at 10 cycles/day ≈ 10 years). |
|
| Up to 200 kg | 20 | |
| 200–400 kg | 30 | |
| 400–500 kg | 40 | |
| 500–600 kg | 60 | |
| Gate leaf length | ||
| Up to 4 m | 15 | |
| 4–6 m | 25 | |
| 6–8 m | 40 | |
| Other factors (if the probability of occurrence is > 10%) | ||
| Temperature > 40 °C, < 0 °C, or humidity > 80% | 10 | |
| Dusty environment | 15 | |
| Salty environment | 20 | |
| Photocell activation | 20 | |
| STOP input activation | 30 | |
| Speed greater than “L4 – Fast” | 25 | |
| Peak function active | 25 | |
Installing the NICE Robus Hi-Speed RBS600HS operator
Installation method of the operator is different for a and cantilever sliding gate different. For a track-guided gate, the operator is generally installed at ground level; for a cantilever gate, the operator needs to be raised (using Ø8 threaded rods, a custom bracket, a concrete plinth, etc.). The key factor is the height of the rack, so that it meshes correctly with the operator's pinion (see “The rack and its limit stop”).

Installation
Correct operator mounting height is one of the conditions for proper operation. Read more in the article “What height should the operator be installed at?”.
The rack and its limit stop
Operating principle: the pinion's rotary torque is converted into linear motion through the rack-and-pinion drive on the rack. Most common types:
 |
Nylon rack (optionally reinforced with steel) – fixed with self-tapping screws through the mounting holes; ideal for lighter/shorter gates and quieter operation (nylon against a steel pinion). |
 |
Steel rack – fixed by welding on threaded brackets and then screwing the rack into place; suitable for longer/heavier gates, with slightly noisier operation (steel against steel). |
It is essential, that the operator's pinion module is compatible with the module of the rack. The NICE Robus Hi-Speed RBS600HS has a tooth module of 4.
The operator detects the end positions when opening and closing using limit stops mounted on the rack.
Steps for installing the limit stops on the rack:
1. Align the operator and gate. The gate and operator must be level.
2. Leave a 1–2 mm gap between the rack and pinion so the gate's weight is not transferred to the motor.
3. Tighten the operator's fixings so it cannot shift when engaged.
4. Move the gate to the open position and adjust the limit stops so they activate the switch at the end position.
5. Move the gate to the closed position and adjust the limit stops so they activate the switch at the end position.
Wiring the NICE Robus Hi-Speed RBS600HS operator
Before connecting, disconnecting, or changing the operator wiring (to the mains or accessories), remember to disconnect the power supply – switch off the circuit breakers, remove the power fuse, or disconnect the backup battery.

Standard wiring diagram
Drive photocells
User-friendly BlueBUS technology allows you to power and control up to 7 pairs of photocells using a two-wire cable.
Connecting multiple pairs of NICE EPMB photocells to the NICE BlueBUS data network
Position the photocells around the gate according to the example layouts for a complete installation and set the jumpers according to the jumper table for the NICE EPMB photocells. To prevent interference between pairs positioned close together, follow the orientation of the transmitters TX and receivers RX shown in the example layouts. Connect the photocells in parallel as shown (polarity does not need to be observed):
If you want the photocells to function as gate openers (see FA1 and FA2 in the example layouts), i.e. to trigger the gate to open when a vehicle drives between their optical axes, break connection A on both the transmitter TX and receiver RX – see illustration:
Example photocell wiring layout
NICE EPMB photocell jumper table
 |
Connecting multiple pairs of photocells to the BlueBUS system is done by setting different jumper combinations. Each connected pair must have a unique combination; no two pairs in a single BlueBUS data network may have the same setting. Set the jumper identically on the TX transmitter and RX receiver within each pair. Keep unused jumpers for future use. |
| Photocell pair designation | Jumper – jumper combination |
|---|---|
| PHOTO |  |
| PHOTO II |  |
| PHOTO 1 |  |
| PHOTO 1 II |  |
| PHOTO 2 |  |
| PHOTO 2 II |  |
| PHOTO 3 |  |
| FA1 (Break the connection A on both TX and RX) |
 |
| FA2 (Break the connection A on both TX and RX) |
 |
If you need to replace a photocell, set the jumper on it to match the original; there is no need to repeat the device detection procedure.
Installing photocells in the drive unit
Hi-Speed drive unit Nice Robus RBS600HS offers the option to integrate photocells under the drive unit cover. To install a photocell inside the drive unit, you will need to purchase the RBSKITSAFE1 kit for fitting reflector photocells EPMOR or EPMOB.
Nice Robus RBS600HS can also accommodate a so-called white status light, which is available separately as ELMM.
Installing photocells under the cover
1. Open the locking hook (A) using the supplied key.
2. Loosen the screws.
3. Remove the cover.
4. Insert the bracket (D) into the pins (E).
Photocell installation EPMOR is shown below. The procedure described also applies to installing the EPMOB photocell.
5. Remove the covers (F) by loosening the screws (G).
6. Remove the photocell (H) by loosening the screw (I) and removing the nut (L).
7. Attach the photocell to the bracket (M) using the same screw and nut
that you removed earlier.
CAUTION! Pay attention to the direction in which the photocell is installed.
8. Connect the device.
CAUTION! Before proceeding with the final fastening,
check that the photocell is aligned with the reflector unit
(EPMOB or EPMOR).
9. Secure the photocell permanently to the mounting bracket.
Take care not to apply excessive pressure to the bracket.
10. Connect the ELMM LED light (N).
This LED light illuminates the passageway and also enables diagnostics through its indicator signals.
11. Secure the LED light using the clip (O).
12. Connect the wires according to the markings.
13. Fit the drive unit cover, tighten the screws, close the drive unit's locking hook, and remove the supplied key
Gate lighting: white status light
The white status light for the Nice Robus RBS Hi-Speed drive unit (ELMM module) is an integrated white LED light built into the drive unit. It illuminates the gate and also indicates the status of the device through its signaling functions. It enables easier visual diagnostics.
| Status light / white status light | |
|---|---|
| On | The automation system is moving or has just stopped; the light switches off automatically after the programmed time. |
| On for 3 seconds | The “automation lock” command has been executed. |
| Off | Normal operation / the gate is stationary and waiting for commands. |
Radio receiver for drive units
NICE Robus Hi-Speed RBS600HS drive unit has a built-in radio receiver in the control unit NICE MCU4. MCU4 also has an SM connector (under the plastic cover) for connecting an external radio receiver NICE OXIBD (or the older NICE OXI). The SM connector makes it easy to upgrade from an older Robus RB drive unit to a Robus RBS, while retaining the paired remote controls.
Selecting the gate travel direction
The direction setting must correspond to the position of the drive unit relative to the gate leaf. View the gate from the side where the drive unit is located.
| If the gate opens to the left, set the switch to the left. | If the gate opens to the right, set the switch to the right. |
| The switch is on the right-hand side of the rear of the MCU4 control unit. |
|
Detecting connected drive unit devices
Each time you connect, disconnect, or change the wiring of devices on the BlueBUS and STOP inputs, perform the accessory detection procedure. The drive unit indicates this by flashing LEDs L1 and L2.
 |
|
Gate leaf length detection
To correctly calculate the acceleration/deceleration travel and partial opening, the operator must determine the length of the gate leaf. During the operation, it moves the gate from one stop to the other and determines the length using a switch.
 |
|
Programming the operator
The Robus Hi-Speed RBS600HS operator allows you to program several functions, either by enabling/disabling a function in Level I programming or by setting a preset parameter in Level II programming.
MCU4 control unit has three buttons for operating and programming the operator:
 |
Open |
The button sends an open command to the operator. It is also used during programming to move the programmed parameter value up. |
|
Stop/Set |
The button sends a stop command to the operator. Pressing and holding it for 5 seconds the first time opens Level I programming. Pressing and holding it again opens Level II programming for the current LED. |
|
|
Close |
The button sends a close command to the operator. It is also used during programming to move the programmed parameter value down. |
Programming – Level I
In Level I, programming enables/disables the selected function. When a function is enabled, the corresponding LED on the control unit is lit. All functions are disabled by default.
Entering Level I programming Hold down the “Stop/Set” button for about 5 seconds, until the LED L1. Use the “Open” and “Close” buttons to move the active LED up or down. You have 10 seconds for each operation; otherwise, the operator exits the mode. When the flashing LED is next to the function you want to change, press “Stop/Set” to make it flash faster (function enabled) or slower (function disabled), then allow the operator to exit the mode within 20 seconds. If everything went correctly, the corresponding LED will remain lit.
List of functions that can be enabled:
| LED | Function | Description |
|---|---|---|
| L1 | Automatic closing | After the set time (“Level II programming – Pause duration”), the gate closes automatically after opening. If this function is disabled, the gate responds only to a command (e.g. from a remote control or similar). |
| L2 | Close after photocell interruption | Once the photocells are clear (the vehicle has passed), closing starts after 5 seconds. Operation depends on L1:
|
| L3 | Always close | After a power failure, the gate either remains in its current position (disabled) or closes automatically (enabled). |
| L4 | Standby mode | Reduces power consumption to a minimum (useful with PSS124). One minute after the last movement, BlueBUS (and connected devices) and all LEDs except the BlueBUS LED switch off (the latter flashes slowly). When a command is received, the control unit first wakes up/restarts and only then carries out the command. |
| L5 | Starting torque | Disables the soft start—the motor immediately runs at full power (useful with high friction, snow or ice). Reduces the operator's service life. |
| L6 | Pre-flashing | Before the gate starts moving, the warning light flashes for 3 seconds, then the manoeuvre starts. |
| L7 | Disable the internal radio control | Disables the radio receiver integrated into the control unit. Enable this if you use an external plug-in receiver such as an OXI. When this function is disabled, the internal receiver is active. |
| L8 | “Slave” mode – subordinate unit | When activated, the operator becomes the “Slave”. Allows two motors on opposing gate leaves to be synchronised (Master/Slave). For details, see the Robus RBS manual, section “Slave mode”. |
Programming – Level II
In Level II, function values are set (unlike in Level I).
Entering Level II programming Hold down the “Stop/Set” button for about 5 seconds, until the L1 LED starts flashing. Use the “Open” and “Close” buttons to move the active LED up or down. You have 10 seconds for each operation; otherwise, the operator exits the mode. When the LED is next to the function whose parameter you want to adjust, press and hold “Stop/Set” to enter the settings. The lit LED (while you continue holding “Stop/Set”) indicates the current value. Change the value using “Open” (up) or “Close” (down), then release “Stop/Set” and wait for the operator to exit the mode within 20 seconds. To verify the setting, repeat the procedure without changing the value.
List of adjustable functions:
| Input LED — Name and description | LED settings — Value |
|---|---|
| L1 — Pause duration If “Automatic closing” is enabled at level I, this sets the interval between opening and automatic closing. |
L1 — 5 s L2 — 15 s L3 — 30 s L4 — 45 s L5 — 60 s L6 — 80 s L7 — 120 s L8 — 180 s |
| L2 — Step-by-step mode Sets the movement sequence when a command is repeated (remote control button or STEP-BY-STEP/P.P./Step-by-step input). Note: at L4, L5, L7 and L8, the behavior of the “Open” and “Close” commands changes. |
L1 — Open/Stop/Close/Stop L2 — Open/Stop/Close/Open L3 — Open/Close/Open/Close L4 — Condominium L5 — Condominium after two “Stop” commands L6 — Step-by-step after two “Partial opening” commands L7 — Person present L8 — “Semi-automatic” opening; closing when a “person is present” |
| L3 — Motor speed Speed during normal operation (not during acceleration or deceleration). „L6 – Extremely fast” = 100% of 0.34 m/s, etc. |
L1 — Very slow (30%) L2 — Slow (44%) L3 — Medium (58%) L4 — Fast (72%) L5 — Very fast (86%) L6 — Extremely fast (100%) L7 — Opens “Fast”, closes “Slow” L8 — Opens “Extremely fast”, closes “Fast” |
| L4 — OGI output indicator Sets the function of the OGI output (when activated, it supplies 24 V, −30%/+50%, max. 10 W). |
L1 — Gate opening L2 — Gate closed L3 — Gate open L4 — Second radio output L5 — Third radio output L6 — Fourth radio output L7 — Maintenance L8 — Electric lock |

Procedure after resetting the NICE ROBUS RBS600HS drive with integrated Wi-Fi
| Important setup order after reset |
|---|
| 1. Connect MyNice Pro and update the firmware With the power off, connect the BiDi-WiFi programmer to the BUS T4 connector, then switch on the power. In the MyNice Pro programming app, first add and pair BiDi-WiFi as a programming interface; if it is already saved in the app, connect to it. Once the connection is confirmed, search for the control unit. Check for an available firmware update, download the latest compatible version, and install it. Do not switch off the power or disconnect the programmer during the update; wait for confirmation that it is complete. This step must be carried out by an installer with a Company account. A Guest account does not support firmware updates for the control unit. |
| 2. Prepare the gate Clear the gate’s path of movement. Use the key to release the drive, move the gate to approximately the halfway point of its travel, then lock the drive again. |
| 3. Accessory learning Press OPEN ▲ and STOP/SET simultaneously for approximately 3 seconds. When LEDs L1 and L2 start flashing rapidly, release the buttons. Wait for learning to finish: L1 and L2 will go out and the STOP LED will remain on. |
| 4. Gate travel learning Press STOP/SET and CLOSE ▼ simultaneously for approximately 3 seconds. Release the buttons when the gate starts moving. The gate will first close, then open fully, and close again. Wait for the process to finish; LEDs L3 and L4 will go out. If it starts opening first, immediately press STOP/SET and have the direction setting checked. |
| 5. Disable Standby mode In the unit settings in MyNice Pro, set Standby mode to OFF. With the gate stationary and not in programming mode, the corresponding L4 LED on the unit should be off. Disabling Standby mode will increase the drive’s idle power consumption. |
| 6. Check and, if necessary, pair the integrated Wi-Fi using MyNice Once setup is complete, switch off the power, disconnect the external BiDi-WiFi programmer, and switch the power back on. In the MyNice customer app, check whether the drive is still accessible. If the drive has not yet been added in the app, or its built-in Wi-Fi has been reset separately, start the device setup process and follow the wizard to pair the drive’s integrated Wi-Fi. Have the name and password for your 2.4 GHz home Wi-Fi network ready. For the first pairing: connect your phone to the 2.4 GHz home Wi-Fi network you are connecting the drive to; do not leave it connected only via 5G mobile data. The operator does not support 5 GHz Wi-Fi. 5G mobile networks and 5 GHz Wi-Fi are different things. Once paired, you can also use MyNice remotely over mobile data. |
| 7. Final check Try operating it via MyNice and with the remote control. The installer must check the limit positions, photocells and safe operator settings, as the reset has removed the original custom settings. |
Automating two opposing sliding gates with two NICE Robus Hi-Speed RBS600HS operators (Master-Slave mode)
If you need to automate two sliding gates facing each other, Robus operators support slave mode (“Master-Slave”). One operator is the master (Master) and sends commands to the other, the slave (Slave). All Robus operators are set to master at the factory, so enable function L8 (Slave unit). The connection between Master ↔ Slave is made via BlueBUS.
Restrictions when connecting a master and slave unit
- The gate cannot be opened using the slave unit.
- All devices (e.g. photocells,, an external receiver, etc.) must be connected to the master unit. Only a warning light, devices connected to the STOP, SBS (STEP-BY-STEP) input and the indicator output OGIcan be connected to the slave unit; the OPEN/CLOSE inputs are ignored.
- If you use a backup battery (NICE PSS124), each operator must have its own.
- On the slave unit, all programmed functions are ignored except those listed below.
| Level I programming | Level II programming |
|---|---|
| L4 — Standby mode | L3 — Motor speed |
| L5 — Start-up | L4 — Indicator output |
| L8 — Slave unit | L5 — Motor force |
| L8 — Error log |
Installing two Robus operators in slave mode
- Install both gate leaves and both motors. Choose which operator will be the master (N) and which will be the slave (P). In Master-Slave mode, only the slave gate leaf can be opened fully.
- (P) Select the opening direction (using the direction switch on the control unit).
- (P) On the slave run the device and gate-leaf length learning procedures (“Device learning”, “Gate-leaf length learning”). If the direction is reversed, repeat step 1.
- (P) On the slave enable the “Master-Slave mode” function (Level I, L8).
- (P+N) Connect the two automation systems according to the wiring diagram.
- (N) Select the opening direction on the master.
- (N) On the master, run the device and gate-leaf length learning procedures. The slave operator will also move while the gate-leaf length is being learned. If the direction is reversed, repeat step 6.
Connecting additional external devices
To the control unit
The MCU4 control unit provides 24 V DC (+) and GND (−) terminals for powering external devices, as well as OGI,, BlueBUS and Flash. In Master-Slave mode, connect devices to the master operator (for exceptions on the “Slave” see the manual – “Master-Slave mode”).
Expanding the control unit with additional inputs/outputs
In addition to the terminals provided, the control unit also has a built-in expansion board MLAE22, which allows several devices to be connected.
The MLAE22 board provides 2 outputs (one of which is 230 V) and 2 inputs for connecting accessories to the control unit.
Default values (can be changed in the control unit settings):
| Contact | Gate | Door |
|---|---|---|
| A | OPEN | OPEN |
| B | CLOSE | CLOSE |
| C | Gate status indicator |
One-way traffic light
|
| D | Auxiliary light | Auxiliary light |
| E | 230V | 230V |
| F | Neutral | Neutral |
Replacing the expansion board
The expansion board However, the MLAE22 can be removed and replaced with another one, according to your preference.
The number and type of inputs and outputs on the expansion boards depend on the type of control unit. There are currently 3 types available for the MCU4 of expansion boards:
MLAE21 - 2x 24V inputs (factory settings: Open, Close), 1x 24V output (factory setting: OGI)
MLAE22 - 2x 24V inputs (factory settings: Open, Close), 1x 24V output (factory setting: OGI), 1x 230V output (factory setting: Lighting) - built-in
MLAE44 - 4x 24V inputs (factory settings: Open, Close, Partial Opening, Photo), 4x 24V outputs (factory settings: OGI, Gate Closed, Radio Output 4, Phototest)
Procedure for connecting the expansion board:
Adding or removing expansion boards must always be done with the power disconnected (by removing fuse F2 and, if connected, the backup battery).

|
Procedure for learning additional devices.
 |
|
After adding or removing devices, the automation must be tested again as described in the section “Testing” (see the drive manual).
Special drive functions
Gate held open continuously
If a command to the STEP-BY-STEP input (P.P., SbS, Step-by-step) lasts longer than 2 seconds, the control unit will keep the gate open for as long as the command is active. Suitable for use with a timer.
Forced operation
If a safety device fails or an obstacle blocks, for example, the photocells and the gate does not move for safety reasons, activate the “Hold-to-run” mode — continuously (Level II, L2 = L7) or temporarily:
- Send a command (e.g. remote control or key switch).
- If there is a problem, the gate will not move and the warning light will probably indicate an error.
- Within 3 seconds of the previous command, send it again and hold it.
- The gate moves while the command is held; when it is released, the gate stops.
Maintenance alert
In Level II programming, item L7 – Maintenance alert sets the number of cycles after which the drive should signal that maintenance (inspection) is required. The drive signals this with the warning light (or, if Level II programming item L4 – Output indicator is set to L7 – Maintenance) as follows:
| Number of cycles | Warning light signal | OGI output indicator signal |
|---|---|---|
| less than 80% of the limit | Normal operation, flashing at half-second intervals. | “Lit” for 2 seconds after opening begins. |
| 80–100% of the limit | Lit for 2 s after the manoeuvre starts, then operates normally. | Flashes during the manoeuvre. |
| over 100% of the limit | Lit for 2 s after the manoeuvre starts, then operates normally; after the manoeuvre ends, it lights up again for 2 s. | Flashes continuously. |
These settings can also be made using the mobile app My Nice Pro.
Troubleshooting the drive
If anything is unclear or you have another problem, please feel free to contact our technical support team for NICE drives.
Depending on the nature of the problem
During installation (or if the drive fails), you may encounter one of the following problems:
| Problem | Possible solution |
|---|---|
| The gate does not respond to a remote-control command, and the LED on the remote control does not light up. | Check whether the batteries in the drive remote control are working; if not, replace them (instructions are in the manual for the specific remote control). |
| The gate does not respond to a remote-control command, but the LED on the remote control lights up. | Check whether it was remote control stored in the memory of the receiver correctly; otherwise, store it again. |
| The gate does not move and the BlueBUS LED does not flash. | Check that the drive is supplied with 230 V. If so, test both fuses and, if necessary, replace them with new ones of the same rating. |
| The gate does not move and the warning light does not flash. | Check whether the drive has registered the command at all: – for a command from the remote control the BlueBUS LED should flash rapidly twice; – for a command via the STEP-BY-STEP (SbS) input, the corresponding STEP-BY-STEP LED should light up. |
| The gate does not move and the warning light flashes several times. | Count the number of flashes and see the section “Troubleshooting by warning-light flashes” below. |
| The gate starts moving, but then stops and reverses. | The motor force is probably set too low. Check that nothing is obstructing the gate and, if necessary, increase the force or enable the “Start-up“. |
| The gate starts moving, but the warning light does not work. | Check whether voltage (approx. 10–30 V DC) is present at the FLASH terminal during operation. If voltage is present, the problem is with the warning light – try replacing it. If there is no voltage, the FLASH output may have been overloaded – check the wiring for a short circuit. |
| The gate starts moving, but the OGI output does not work. | Find out which function is assigned to the OGI output; if it is supposed to flash, check that 24 V DC is present. If voltage is present, the bulb is faulty – replace it. If there is no voltage, the OGI output may have been overloaded – check the wiring for a short circuit. |
Troubleshooting by warning-light flashes
While the gate is moving, the warning light flashes regularly once every second. If a problem occurs, it signals the error in two faster, consecutive series of flashes.
| Flash sequence | Error | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| 1 flash, 1 s pause, 1 flash | BlueBUS error | The devices connected to the BlueBUS input do not match those detected during the setup phase. Run the setup phase again; if that does not help, use a process of elimination to identify the faulty device, then replace, repair or return it under warranty. |
| 2 flashes, 1 s pause, 2 flashes | Photocell activation | The photocells are being triggered (common when the beam is interrupted during closing). If the beam was not interrupted, they may be dirty, dazzled by bright light or faulty. |
| 3 flashes, 1 s pause, 3 flashes | Motor force limiter activated | The gate is detecting increased friction – check and adjust the gate (test it by moving it manually). Increasing the force or enabling “Start-up“. can help. The problem may also be caused by an excessively high bottom stop. |
| 4 flashes, 1 s pause, 4 flashes | STOP input activated | A command was received at the STOP input. If this was unexpected, check the connected devices. |
| 5 flashes, 1 s pause, 5 flashes | Control unit internal error | Wait at least 30 seconds and repeat the command. If the error persists, try a reset. The control unit will probably need to be repaired or replaced. |
| 6 flashes, 1 s pause, 6 flashes | Hourly operation limit reached | Wait a few minutes for the cycle limiter to drop below the maximum. |
| 7 flashes, 1 s pause, 7 flashes | Internal electronic circuit error | Disconnect the drive from the power supply for a few seconds, reconnect it and try the command. If the error persists, try a reset. If that does not help, the control unit will probably need repair or replacement. |
| 8 flashes, 1 s pause, 8 flashes | Continuous command active | If a command is being sent to the drive continuously, check the devices connected to the OPEN input. If a timer is connected, it is probably sending this continuous command. |
Troubleshooting using LED flashes
Troubleshooting can be carried out by monitoring several sets of LEDs. Two sets are on the control unit, and the third is the status light directly on the drive.
On the drive...
The status light is located on the front of the cover of the Nice RBS drives.
The red and green LEDs indicate normal operation and provide basic gate diagnostics, as shown in the table below. If the drive detects an anomaly or error, it signals it using the warning light.
| Status light with positions learned | |
|---|---|
| Green light | |
| on | Indicates the start of each gate operation, if there are no anomalies or errors in the system, and goes out when the operation is complete. |
| off | Normal operation |
| Red light | |
| on | Indicates the start of each gate operation, if the set number of operations before maintenance has been exceeded; it goes out when the operation is complete. |
| off | Normal operation |
| Warning light | The control unit has detected an anomaly. See the table “Troubleshooting by warning-light flashes”. |
| Status light with positions NOT learned | |
|---|---|
| Green light | |
| on | The light turns on when the opening limit switch is reached. |
| off | Normal operation |
| Red light | |
| on | The light turns on when the closing limit switch is reached. |
| off | Normal operation |
| Flashing light | The control unit has detected an anomaly. See the table “Diagnostics using flashing light signals”. |
On the MCU4 control unit...
Control unit MCU4 drive NICE Robus Hi-Speed RBS600HS has two sets of LEDs, each of which uses flashing and steady lights to indicate normal operation of the control unit or diagnose faults, as shown in the tables below.
Horizontal LEDs: BLUEBUS, STOP, SbS, FOTO:
| Signal | Status | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| BlueBUS LED | ||
| off | anomaly/fault | Check the mains power connection. If it is in order, check fuses F1 and F2 and replace them, if necessary, with new fuses of the same rating. |
| on | serious fault |
Try disconnecting the control unit, or all inputs. If this does not help, reset the control unit. If the fault persists, the control unit will probably need to be replaced. |
| 2 green flashes at one-second intervals | everything is OK | Normal operation of the control unit. |
| 2 quick green flashes | input status changed |
Normal operation — the status of the STEP-BY-STEP, STOP, OPEN or CLOSE input changed, or the following were activated: photocells, or the drive received a command from the remote control. |
| a series of red flashes, separated by a one-second pause | various | The number of flashes in the series corresponds to the fault diagnosis indicated by the flashing light. See “Diagnostics using flashing light signals”. |
| a series of quick and slow red flashes | short circuit at the BlueBUS terminal | Disconnect the terminal and check the BlueBUS connections to find the cause of the short circuit. Once the short circuit has been fixed, reconnect the terminal. After ten seconds, the LED will start flashing again. |
| STOP LED | ||
| off | the STOP input was activated | Check the devices connected to the STOP input. |
| on | the STOP input did not respond | The STOP input is active. |
| STEP-BY-STEP LED (also labelled SbS, P.P. or Step-by-step) | ||
| off | everything is OK |
The STEP-BY-STEP input is inactive. |
| on | the STEP-BY-STEP input was activated | Normal operation of the control unit if a device connected to the STEP-BY-STEP input was activated. |
| FOTO LED | ||
| off | The FOTO input was activated | The FOTO input was triggered. |
|
on |
Everything is OK | Normal operation of the control unit if the safety device has not been triggered. |
