Parameter Setting or Thickness Measuring Unit is defective.
Solution: Clean Head With Toothbrush with Power and Air ON
.
Reference Frequency < 395 kHz (WH) or 394 kHz (all other OEMs)
Solution: Clean Head With Toothbrush With Power and Air ON
Reference Frequency > 404 kHz
Solution: Clean Head With Toothbrush With Power and Air ON
Thickness Measuring Unit Defective
Solution: Clean Head With Toothbrush With Power and Air ON
Air Pressure is Too High or Too Low
Solution: Check Air Filter – Confirm Pointer is in Green Zone; Check/Set Parameter P-Wind: 550 mBar is Middle of Range [+/- 150 mBar]
Could be Actual Bubble Break; KNC-400 Specific Error, relates to the movement of the cylindrical measuring head. Could indicate a defective head.
Solution: Check for Excessive Bubble Flutter; Increase Air Pressure; Check for Air Pressure Stability [within 10 mBar]; Clean Head with Toothbrush w/Power and Air ON
Relates to the movement of the cylindrical measuring head. Could indicate a defective head.
Solution: Check for Excessive Bubble Flutter; Adjust Zeroing Distance
The Measuring Head Motor is Not Ready
Solution: Access Parameters via LCD Display on Head: 1-Hardproof 2-LN-PkPwrOffs 3-Temperature 4-FILMMIN,Det. 5-Min.Film(um) 6-Im.PullBack 7-Pwind
For any capacitive thickness sensor, it is important that the Measuring Electronics has a stable temperature. The only way to achieve this is to heat the measuring electronics up to a temperature which is higher than ambient (Sensor) temperature. Expect up to a minute for this to finish
Solution: Verify: Temp of Measuring Electronics (ME) > Temp of Sensor; Ensure Temp Contorl Mode is set to ‘Manual’, Increase the Target if < ME (per GUI)
Using WebGUI: OVERVIEW/THICKNESS GAUGE/System, the issue will show FF00 or similar, whereas a properly Communicating CAN Node will show 0507 or similar
Solution: Check CAN Cable Connections; Perform CAN Bus Check
Radial Not finding the Rear Limit
Solution: Is the Rear Limit LED Continuously Flashing (faulty – replace) Check LEDs on E-1222 Radial PCB; Replace E-1322
Solution: Requires Minimum 40mm Retract Distance; Is the Bubble Diameter too Big? Die Centered? (Bubble Eccentricity – 10mm Tolerance) Check/Clean Bubble Sensor
Bubble Break or too much Flutter
Solution: Increase Penetration
No Communication to Control System
Solution: Re-Install VDP Software.
Solution: Clean/Replace Ultra Sonic Sensor; Confirm proper LED activity; Possible VDP Software Mis-Match w/ E-1322 – Reload GC Latest
Using WebGUI: OVERVIEW/THICKNESS GAUGE/System, the issue will show FF00 or similar, whereas a properly Communicating CAN Node will show 0507 or similar
Solution: Check CAN Cable Connections; Perform CAN Bus Checks
Zero Position Detection Earlier than Expected
Solution: Possible Faulty Zero Position Sensor; Faulty Rotation PCB; False Flag Detection
Zero Position Detection Longer than Expected
Solution: Possible Hindrance; Toothbelt Slippage; Traveler Bearings Worn; Motor and/or SMC Not Functional; Ensure Zero Position Sensor is Clean and 1 to 2 mm gap
Zero Position Detection Low
Solution: Ensure the Track Size per WebGUI Matches Actual; Ensure Zero Position Sensor is Clean and 1 to 2mm gap
Motorized Traveler is Detected to Not Be Moving
Solution: Possible Faulty Rotation SMC; Faulty Motor; Faulty Large Cable Chain (CAN Cable). Motorized Traveler Mounted Limit Switch Lever Jammed
‘ ‘Enable Signal’ is Missing – Valid only for W&H
Solution: Check for the 24 Volt ‘Enable’ Signal – Pin 2 on X59 (WH PC –> Control Box); Check for the ‘Release’ Signal on the WebGUI; CPU H7 Indicates ‘Active’
Using WebGUI: OVERVIEW/THICKNESS GAUGE/System, the issue will show FF00 or similar, whereas a properly Communicating CAN Node will show 0507 or similar
Solution: Check CAN Cable Connections; Perform CAN Bus Checks
