ERROR MESSAGES
The C7 control continuously monitors the distributor for abnormal behavior and will notify the
operator when a detectable error occurs. The notification is displayed on Line 2 of the display.
Optional audible or visual alarms are available. Connected PLCs or other automation equipment
are also notified of the error.
Error Msg
Reason
Cause & Remedy
DRIVE
ERROR
The control has attempted to
move the spout but has not
received any feedback that it
is moving. If it does not
receive feedback for 10
seconds, the control will turn
off the motor and display this
error message.
The spout is jammed, the clutch is
slipping or the sensor circuit is not
functioning.
This is a fatal error. Press
Enter
to
reset the control. This is almost
always a mechanical obstruction at
the distributor.
POSITIONING
ERR
When the control was
positioning the spout over a
duct, it was not able to set it
to the exact predetermined
position.
Something has electrically or
mechanically disturbed the spout
position over the duct.
The alarms are set and operator
notified. Try accessing this position
again. Repeated errors indicate
action is required to repair the
problem. Check for a loose clutch or
loose drive chains in the drive
assembly.
SPOUT
MOVED
This error message indicates
that the spout has been
moved out of position after a
successful stop. The C7
Control continuously monitor
spout position and raise this
alarm if the spout moves out
of position.
Something has electrically or
mechanically disturbed the spout
position over the duct.
This is a fatal error. Press Enter and
the control will return to the reset
screen. Check for a loose clutch or
loose bolts on the drive wheel or
drive arm assemblies.
SENSOR
ERROR
While the control is moving
the spout it continuously
anticipates the next code it
will encounter. If the next
code does not match the
anticipated code, the control
will attempt to re-read it up to
3 times. If it fails on the 3rd
try, the control will issue this
error.
An improperly positioned sensor
block in the distributor usually
causes this error.
This is a fatal error. Press Enter and
the control will return to the reset
screen. Position and shim the sensor
block properly. Run the Check
Sensors routine.
