Cause/Correction |
Message: Too many (few) control nodes found |
The number of gun cards/iFlow modules does not match the number of guns setting in Guns Configuration screen (System Configuration). This could be a normal condition if you have an odd number of guns in your system. The red Fault LED on the gun card will light if two guns are not connected to the card. |
Message: Failure reading database |
No data or configuration displays on screens. User data card missing, defective, or wrong size. Replace the card. Compact Flash adapter failure. Replace the adapter. |
Condition: iControl screen partially boots up. Screen is blank except for possible text display, or screen displays “Hit ESC for .altboot...” |
Program card is missing, blank, or defective. Replace the card. Program card in wrong adapter slot. Insert the program card in the outer slot. If used, check the ribbon cable connections to the Compact Flash adapter and PC. Replace the ribbon cable if necessary. (Standard 40-pin IDE cable, not available from Nordson.) Make sure the colored lead on the edge of the ribbon cable is connected correctly to receptacle pin 1. No power to Compact Flash adapter. Check the power cable and connection to the adapter. Compact Flash adapter failure. Replace the adapter. |
Condition: Pickoff value is reset to smaller number after entry |
The maximum pickoff length is 4096 inches (104038.4 mm). With the keypad you can enter a number larger than the maximum, but when you save your entry the value will be automatically reduced to the maximum value. |
Condition: Inconsistent lead and lag timing for auto gun triggering or moving |
Conveyor encoder pulse rate is too fast. Maximum is 10 Hz (10 pulses/second). Some pulses are not being detected. Reduce the conveyor speed or change the encoder-to-conveyor linkage to reduce the pulse frequency. |
Condition: Lockout message does not display when keyswitch turned to lockout position, or lockout cannot be canceled by turning keyswitch to another position |
Booth exhaust fan is off (turning off switched power to the console), or remote lockout is on. If the exhaust fan is turned off before turning the switch to Lockout, then lockout cannot be activated. If the fan is turned off after the switch is turned to Lockout, then lockout cannot be canceled. Turn fan on to correct. If the remote lockout is on, turn it off. A customer-supplied switching device connected to the remote lockout relay in the console activates the remote lockout. |
Condition: iControl screen is locked up (no response) |
Cycle console power. If the condition persists, the program card is corrupted. Obtain and install another program card. Refer to Touch Screen Calibration when installing new program cards. |
Condition: Air flow when gun is not triggered on (Standard systems with venturi pumps) |
iFlow module requires re-zeroing. Re-zero the iFlow module as described in the iControl Hardware manual 1044158J. iFlow module proportional valve or solenoid valve stuck open. Refer to the iControl Hardware manual 1044158J for instructions on cleaning the proportional valves. Solenoid valves must be replaced if they do not close. |
