Error Message:

ALE: timeout moving table tilt cylinder

Applies to:

• Platesetter_3244

Service Information:

Check that the appropriate Hall effect sensor led comes on when the tilt cylinder is extended and retacted. Check that the sensor signal reaches the MPE but using the "Table" command to read the sensors (f/w 2.25). The tilt cylinder is extended in the "table down" position and retacted in the "table half" (="table unload") position and is retracted in the "table up" position. Try "time table" to evaluate all motions.

Operator Action:

Resume. Call Creo Response center if problem persists.

Cause:

• Table tilt cylinder failed to sense extended Hall sensor within t_tilt_delay of being activated.
• At the start of a pick, a max time of t_untilt_delay is allowed for the tilt cylinder to move off the extended hall sensor, else this error is generated.
• At the start of the pick, an additional max time of t_untilt_delay is allowed for the tilt cylinder to sense the retracted hall sensor.
• At the start of a process command the firmware allows a max time of t_tilt_delay for the tilt to fully extend (that is, the extended hall sensors detected).
• During a table tilt (extend), the tilt cylinder failed arrive at the extended position Hall sensor within t_tilt_delay of being activated.
• During a table Untilt (retract) the tilt cylinder failed to leave the extended position hall sensor within t_untilt_delay of being activated, OR failed to arrive at retracted hall sensor withing a further t_untilt_delay.
• All only apply if table sensors are enabled.
