Post 2020 machines signal error conditions with audible and/or visual codes which are explained in the table below.

Error conditions are signaled by blinking of the “information status light” next to the power button at the rear status panel of the machine and the firmware LED on the logic board. High priority codes will be accompanied by audible beeping of the same pattern.

Operation Modes

Two general operation modes can be differentiated:

  • Normal operation is indicated by:
    1/2 second on, followed by
    1/2 second off, continuous blinking.
  • Error condition is indicated by:
    2 second off, followed by
    1/4 second (0, short) or 1 second (1, long)

Fault Codes

The pulses in error condition indicate an eight-bit binary error-code with:

  • short pulse = 0 which is 1/4 second long
  • long pulse = 1 which is 1 second long

Low Priority Codes

Visual signal of the information light and firmware LED only

Code

Meaning

0000 0001

An emergency stop button has been depressed. This is not strictly an error condition.                             

0000 0010

The pendant is missing or malfunctioning.

Rotary device fault. The rotary has encountered an error and is in a faulted state.                               

High Priority Codes

Visual signal of the information light and firmware LED in combination with accoustic signal of the pieze speaker.

Info

High priority codes override low priority codes
