Troubleshooting

Pallet Faults

Fault

Resolution

Pallet following error

•  Check for mechanical or other interference with the pallet 

(for example, a jammed part). The fault indicates the 
location.

•  Inspect the pallet. 

See 

Inspect a Pallet

 on page 195.

•  Verify that a coil fuse is not blown. 

If a pallet travels across a coil with a blown fuse, pallet 
momentum is usually adequate to allow acceptable 
control. However, if the pallet attempts to stop in the 
vicinity of this coil, it will have poor control, which will 
trigger a following error.
See 

Replace a Coil Fuse

 on page 174.

•  Check for a damaged upper v-rail, flat wear strip, or 

motor cover label.

Pallet lost position

•  Check the encoder strip, to make sure that it is not 

damaged.
See 

Inspect a Pallet

 on page 195.

•  Check encoder calibration.

See the TrakMaster built-in help for the calibration 
procedure.

•  Verify the encoder functionality. View the TrakMaster 

Encoder screen, to make sure the encoders are 
functioning.

Pallets stop at section joints

Verify that the rails are correctly aligned. If the rails of 
sections are not correctly aligned, pallets may not be able to 
move across the joints of low power sections. Make sure that 
magnetic shunts are installed in the correct orientation.
