Alarms - Cause and Solution
Typically, problems are indicated by an alarm condition on the Blender
controller’s display
with an audible alarm and a flashing strobe light. The following alarm troubleshooting chart
will describe the alarm condition and possible causes and solutions.
Alarm Display:
Troubleshooting:
COMPONENT ALARM
ALARM CODE:01-12
(alarm code denotes hopper /
component number)
Problem: Hopper / component out of material.
This alarm is triggered by the AL parameter.
Solution:
Determine reason for material shortage.
BATCH COMPLETE
ALARM CODE:13
Alert Alarm: Batch is complete (Batch Mode).
The Batch Mode Alarm is enabled under Setup/Blender
Configuration/Specialized Alarms/Batch Complete Alarm (ON/OFF)
MAXIMUM WEIGHT ALARM
(former: BAILOUT ALARM)
ALARM CODE:14
Problem: Maximum Weight Exceeded - Cycle
Aborted
As the cycle dispensed material into the weigh bin, the calculated
weight was projected to exceed the maximum allowable weight in
the weigh bin (MAX parameter) and cycle was aborted. The
Maximum Weight Alarm is enabled under Setup/Blender.
Configuration/Specialized Alarms/Maximum Weight Exceeded
Alarm (ON/OFF).
Also See: MAX parameter.
Solution:
This alarm is typically caused by an unexpected increase
in material flow, such as valve getting stuck open or a sudden flow
increase due to a material blockage opening up. Typically a
random Maximum Weight Exceeded Alarm will be corrected by
automatic flow rate adjustments however if they are repeating often,
this may indicate a problem with a dispense valve.
COMPONENT BAILOUT
No alarm, no alarm code
Problem: Component Bailout - Aborted Dispense
As the cycle dispensed a specific material into the weigh bin, the
weight of that component exceed the target by the amount specified
in the BER parameter and the material dispense was abruptly
stopped.
See: BER parameter.
Solution:
Bailouts occur because the target weight exceeds the
Bailout Weight Limit (BER) parameter. Component bailouts are
typically caused by vibration. Increasing the value of the BER
parameter (from 200 to 300 grams) may reduce or eliminate
unnecessary bailouts.
