Error Message:

ALE: Traveller rotate position sensor is already high (sensor may be broken)

Applies to:

• Trendsetter_400/800_Auto

Operator Action:

Select the RESUME button on the workstation dialog box. If this fails to correct the problem, the rotator position sensor has probably failed, and Creo Service should be called.

Service Information:

This error is reported if the rotator position sensor reports TRUE at the start of a PROCESS command. Most likely the rotator position sensor has failed.

The sensor status may be checked with the 'table' command - the AL ROTATE sensor should be TRUE only when the traveller is in the rotate position.

It may be useful to set the 'verbose alcmd' and 'verbose alconv' parameters to 1 in order to obtain further diagnostic information.

The machine can still be operated in non-rotating mode.

Cause:

• The sensor may be damaged.
• The wiring to the sensor may be damaged.
• If the sensor is not working, then the sensor may be temporarily masked off by setting al prs to 0. Masking off this sensor will get rid of the error message but may cause the plate to be rotated at the wrong time. The rotate position must be set accurately using the 'set alpos crp' command.
• WARNING: Masking off sensors disables proper error checking!
