Error Message:

ALE: STEP : axis 2 HOME limit switch is active

Applies to:

• Trendsetter_400/800_Auto

Operator Action:

First try selecting the RESUME button on the workstation dialog box a few times. If this does not make the problem go away, then make sure that the unload traveller is not stuck in the HOME position. Try moving the traveller away from the HOME position by hand and select the RESUME button again. If the problem persists, then Creo Service should be called.

Service Information:

This error occurs when the stepper motor HOME switch becomes active before the stepper motor has finished moving.

The sensor status may be checked by using the TABLE command. The sensor status should read TRUE if the sensor is activated.

Cause:

• If the procedure described in Operator Action does not correct the problem, then the stepper controller must be re-initialized. Do this either by typing TABLE INIT or (if that does not work) resetting the recorder.
