ERR SUB A003 - Gantry Error Messages
167/004
HALT
EMCY LINE FAIL-
URE ON COM-
PRESSION NODE
Possible causes:
• A stop motion simulation fault occurred. At power-
up, in order to ensure that the stop motion line
works, the compression board simulates an open-
ing of the stop motion line (like a pressure on the
stop motion button). Then, lift, rotation, and com-
pression nodes enter their safety mode and warn
the Gantry CPU. After this check, the Gantry CPU
simulates a stop motion as well. Again, the lift, rota-
tion and compression nodes enter their safety
mode and warn the Gantry CPU. If one of the
nodes does not enter its safety mode, the Gantry
CPU creates an error message.
• The TP1 connector on the Compression board is
closed.
Proceed as follows:
1. Check the error logs. If this error occurs in con-
junction with error 161/038, there is a possibility
that a jumper exists on the TP1 connector on the
Compression board. In this case you must
remove the jumper from the TP1 connector on
the Compression board.
2. If the TP1 connector is not closed on the Com-
pression board, apply the following rules to
determine which board to change:
- If no other node responded to the stop com-
mand, the Faulty FRU is the Compression Board
(simulator is down) or positioner bus (stop
motion line is cut).
In this case check the Compression board cable
connections, and cable. If necessary change the
cable. If the cable is fine, change the Compres-
sion board
- If other nodes did respond to the stop command
then the fault FRU is the Compression Board
(bus connector other hardware or firmware prob-
lem). Change the Compression board.

EMCY STOP LINE
ACTIVATED
The emergency stop line is activated.
Check the Stop button continuity and connector
quality routing and continuity of cable W216/W217.
Reboot the system from the X-ray Console. If the
problem persists, contact your OLC.
