Siemens-axiom iconos R100

Error 256 APID 032

Meaning:

-    Basic unit: table longitudinal drive is controlled, but does not move.

 
Reason, Cause:

-    Frequency converter defective, blocks or has not power supply voltage.
-    Control of frequency converter missing.

 
Action:

-    Check fuses F1 to F3 at the A1.T1 transformer.
-    Check using SSW Diagnostic/ Tests/ Movement with service buttons.
-    Check the M5.R160 potentiometer, cables and connectors on the A4.D41 board.
-    Replace the A4.D41 board.

Had this happen a year ago.

The info that you got from John D. Is Spot On!

The only thing that I would add is to ensure that you ground yourself prior to touching any boards or connectors. Doing so will ensure that you don’t unintentionally fry the board or components by introducing static shock from you to the board. If you do get static, the equipment may appear to be operational, however in a few hours, days, or weeks you may have odd errors or malfunction as a result of the static. Wear a static wristband. That’s a good habit to start, if you haven’t already done so.

I failed to mention one other good practice that one should do whenever one service's Siemens equipment.  Make a backup of all of your calibration/alignment work BEFORE you do anything.  I would also have a "ghost" of the FLC hard drive.  Perform your adjustments.  And then do another backup at the end of your work. 

You may find that this practice is a good work habit and may be able to bail you out should you mess something up.

Hello John D,

I have another problem

Err 0711 080

Err 0119 080 no exposure waiting for your help again.

Thanks... best regards

Polydoros EC 119/80

Meaning:

• Time out filament circuit

Description:

• The communication between filament D220 and master D100 is made via serial link (MPS, D100.X1.28, D220.X1.28)
• If an interruption of the communication between D100 and D200 occurs, Error 119 is output by D100.

Possible causes and action:

• Serial interface interrupted -> check
• D100, D220 defective -> replace
• Arcing tube
• H1 High tension transformer
• Check screening and shielding of cabling
• Check protective ground wire, all protective ground wire connections intended by the manufacturer must be made
• Check firmware level
• Check voltage power supplies +5V ±0,2V (on D100, D160 and D220)
• Check schematics of generator for LEDs
• Ignore error 119, if the red LED(D220) is blinking and no firmware is loaded -> perform download

For Polydoros LX only:

• Check 5V Supply on SNT, D160 and D220
  • At power supply (SNT) check voltage on pins X2.6 (5V) and X2.3 (0V) and set voltage, if required to 5.1 V (max 5.2 V).
  • Check voltage on D160. X31 (5V) - X28 (0V). Voltage should be not lower than 20 mV below voltage measured on SNT.
  • Check voltage on D220.X18.A1 (5V) - X15 (0V. Voltage should be not lower than 150 mV below voltage measured on SNT.
  • In case, that there are more than 150 mV discrepancy on D220 check connectors: SNT.X2, D160.X11, D160.X13, D100.X13, D100.X1, D220.X1.
  • In case cabling X1 between D100 and D220 is causing the voltage drop, change it against the new type (p/n 74 63 677).

Polydoros EC 711/80

Meaning:

• Bridge short circuit in the main inverter (current in the inverter too high)
• The tube, being active while this error was sent, can be read in the environment info of the errorlog since XCU VB07A.

Description:

• If more than 3 bridge short circuits occur during an exposure or in fluoroscopy within 3.6s, of if the current in the inverter is too high, then Error 711 is output.

Possible causes and action:

• This error may be caused by a tube spinning too slow.
  • Check the spinning frequency of generator:
    • press VK (pre contact)
    • wait for spin up of tube anode
    • turn off mains of generator
    • tube will continue spinning
    • use frequency measurement equipment (e.g.FLUKE 8060A or FLUKE 87) and measure frequency of rotor between two phases of tube rotor (cable to starter should be unplugged for measurement, use CURRENT MEASUREMENT and NOT VOLTAGE, Range should be 30 mA)
    • Compare value to the value of the tube for usual 150 Hz. Tolerance should be not more than 10%.
    • especially Opti 154 requires special settings of the capacitors in the starter. Check schematic for setting the capacitors in case of Opti 154.
    • if tube is too slow check phase shift relay, that it switches for exposure and check starter. Also check cabling and that number of phases of tube is equal to the setting in the site structure.

• Checking D165
  • The intermediate circuit voltage is too low, but higher than 400V (400V  630V), UZ monitoring does not respond (Error 604 with < 400V / Error 605 with > 630V).
  • Generator OFF
  • Connect instrument to D110 X5, X6.
  • Generator ON
  • Uz must be approx. 550V
  • Checking the charging current:
  • Generator OFF
  • Main switch OFF
  • Check freedom from voltage at the mains fuses.
  • Disconnect leads L1, L2, L3 at the PS contactor.
  • Fit a current transformer with 10 ohms terminating resistor over each lead.
  • Connect the leads again.
  • Connect oscilloscope to current transformers over L1, L2, L3.
  • Trigger. Int.
  • Main switch and generator ON
  • The mains currents must be the same in all phases (pay attention to symmetry).
  • In the case of an error:
  • Look for the error in the phase in which the smallest amplitude is measured (bad connections, burnt contacts)

• Checking the tube assembly:
  • Generator OFF
  • Connect oscilloscope to the following points:
    • CH1: MAACT (IRö ACT) D100/X64 MA_ACT
    • CH2: KVACTD100/X61 kV_ACT
    • Trigger D100/X64 SWR
  • SS switch on D100 OFF
  • Generator ON
  • Check trigger.
  • SS switch on D100 ON
  • Release exposure with 81kV, 20mAs, if no error, increase kV stepwise and observe current.
  • If step peaks are observed and the generator climbs out with ERROR 711 AP-ID 80 or 119 AP-ID 80. The tube assembly is defective. Replace tube assembly.

• Checking D110 (inverter):
  • Generator OFF
  • Connect oscilloscope to following points:
    • CH1: D100/X62 I_LAST (1V = 50A)
    • Trigger: X64 SWR time base 10µs
  • Generator ON
  • In SSW <DIAGNOSTICS> conduct <Inverter Test> and compare measurement results with the following wiring diagrams.
  • Polydoros SX 65/80:
  • The current I load is to be measured with single pulse and fluoro attachment. It must show the following values:
  • Pos. Signal (500mV = 50A)
  • Neg. Signal (500mV = 50A)
  • The following requirements are to be checked in both oscillograms:
  • <Forward oscillation> : 120A 10%
  • <Backward oscillation> : 50A 10%

• • Polydoros LX 80:
    • The current I load is to be measured with single pulse. It must show the following values:
    • Pos. Signal (1V = 100A)  
    • Neg. Signal (1V = 100A)
    • The following requirements are to be checked in both oscillograms:
    • Forward oscillation>: 270A 10%
    • Backward oscillation>: 210A 10%
  • Polydoros LX 30/50 & Polydoros LX 30/50 Lite:
    • The current I load is to be measured with single pulse. It must show the following values:
    • Pos. signal (1V = 100A)  
    • Neg. signal (1V = 100A)
    • The following requirements are to be checked in both oscillograms:
    • Forward oscillation>: 180A 10%
    • Backward oscillation>: 140A 10%

• • On deviations in the amplitude:
    • Generator OFF
    • Connect oscilloscope to following points:
      • CH1: D100/X60 OUT_A
      • CH2: D100/X60 OUT_B
    • Trigger: D100/X64 SWR
    • Switch on D100 OFF
    • Generator ON
    • Release FL or exposure.
    • Compare pulses with diagram X2206/16 -> Replace D100 in the case of deviation
    • If pulses are OK proceed as follows:
    • Replace inverter
    • The FL attachment must be adjusted anew after replacement of the inverter (only with POLYDOROS SX65/80)

• Checking D111 "FL attachment" (only with POLYDOROS SX65/80)
  • Check contacts of the "K6" contactor.
  • Check screw connections.
  • If the error arises in fluoro (e.g. during warm up or learn filament correction) this could also be caused, if the fluoro attachment has not been calibrated. Try to calibrate fluoro attachment, using menu item ADJUSTMENT - FL ATTACHMENT.

• Checking D220 filament board
  • If ERROR messages 711 and 119 AD-IP 80 occur sporadically, and if no error is found when checking D100, D110, D111, D115, D165 and the tube assembly, D220 can be defective.
  • Perform check as follows:
  • Ribbon cable between D100 and D220 must be run in front of the retaining bracket on H1.
  • Generator OFF
  • Connect oscilloscope to following points:
    • CH1: MAACT (IRö ACT) D100/X64 MA_ACT
    • CH2: kVACT D100/X61 kV-ACT
    • Trigger: D100/X64 SWR
  • SS switch on D100 OFF
  • Generator ON
  • Check trigger
  • SS switch on D100 ON
  • Perform measurements with both focal spots.
  • Release exposure with 81kV,32mAs,100ms and observe the tube current. If the current wave shape is linear, increase tube current with the mAs button and retain the 100ms. If a too high current is measured in the measurement, the tube must be adjusted again. If abrupt changes of push factor occur during the setting and if the current cannot be adjusted, replace D220.

• Check high-voltage cable
  • Check the plug of the HV cable for tracking. If tracking is present, the HV cable must be replaced.
  • If there is no tracking on the HV cable, clean the HV plug, replace corona disks and gasket and insert in the tube assembly with silicone oil.
  • No corona disks may be used on the transformer side.
  • Approx. 10mm oil must be present in the transformer receptacle.
  • The ohmic value of the shielding braid may be 1Ohm per meter. If there is suspicion the the HV cable is no longer voltage-proof, the HV cable must be replaced.

• Tube connectors have been mixed up during learn filament
  • If this is the case the filament current will be learned to high, that even the warm-up in the with correct connectors won’t work anymore. The only thing that will help is to reset the tube data to default. This is done in Site Structure aufrufen. Change to <edit system> and re-select the tube. Confirm the message <<You are about to select a new tube type.\nIf you continue, all adjustment data of the original device are lost!>>, store the configuration and adjust the tube afterwards
