Error Message:

ALE: <axis number> axis stuck home. Timeout occured leaving home position

Applies to:

• Platesetter_3244

Service Information:

Replce affected home away cable with a new one (loose) and see if the error goes away. Replace the picker transition board and cable (loose) and see if that fixes it. It should not be necessary to change the timeout, 2 seconds it the maximum that should be needed.

Operator Action:

Reset machine.

Cause:

• Whenever an stepper is moved, the ale_drv_task (background) allows "leave_timeout" seconds for the departing sensor to detect false. That is if it is moving awaywards then it allows leave_timeout seconds for the home sensor to become not sensed, and visa versa.
