Error Message:

ALE: timeout moving table stow cylinder

Applies to:

• Platesetter_3244

Service Information:

Check that the appropriate Hall effect sensor led comes on when the stow 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 stow cylinder is extended in the "table down" position and 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 service if problem persists.

Cause:

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