4. CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
The Safedock system has a built-in diagnostic test program that is activated prior to
any start-of-docking command. Errors are reported with a code, identifying the kind of
fault. Corrective maintenance of the Safedock system is carried out on the basis of
these reports.
4.1 FAULT FINDING AND RECTIFICATION
Possible causes of each error and the recommended actions to be taken are
presented in § Troubleshooting in this Chapter.
During rectification the procedures described in § 6 Replacement of Malfunctioning
Units shall be followed.
4.2 TEST EQUIPMENT
The test equipment used for the set-up of the Safedock system is the Server of the
Safedock Central Computer System, provided that the connection to Superior System
is established. The software
SMT.EXE shall be used for this purpose.
An alternative is to use any laptop computer, which shall be connected to the service
outlet of the Operator Panel. Note that the service outlet is an RS-485 port, which
means that an interface converter must be used, when connecting to the RS-232
COM port of the laptop computer.
Optionally, a laptop computer can also be connected to a 10BaseT/RJ-45 outlet in the
Pilot Display unit. This option also gives the computer access to the Central
Configuration Database.
4.3 DIAGNOSTIC TEST FUNCTIONS
The Safedock is equipped with a set of test/ diagnostics functions. To access these
functions from the Operator Panel main menu, select
Test key, enter a password (if
configured) and press ENTER. A menu containing all available test functions will then
be presented.
Pressing the softkey associated with the desired test function activates the test
function. The arrow keys can be used to switch between menu pages. Pressing the
CANCEL key will bring the system back to normal operation.
