ERROR MESSAGE CAUSES
SOLUTION
Find air cylinder move not
smoothly
1. Air cylinder is not lubricated
for a while.
2. Air pressure inlet and outlet
on fast-fit connectors are not
adjusted correctly.
1. Recommend to grease the arm of air cylinder
monthly. But the frequency should be depended
on the environment quality of Lab.
2. Adjust the air pressure on inlet and outlet fast-fit
connectors to ensure the cylinder move
smoothly, not too fast and not to slow to cause
vibrated movement.

1. Inlet conveyor failure
2. Inlet limit sensor failure
3. The tray inlet cylinder
failure
1. Check the inlet conveyor by following：
a. Check the output bit7 LED of No.0 LA50B
DIO module illuminated? If not replace the
PLC. If yes, check the SSR-1 and replace it
if defective.
b. Check the capacitor of conveyor motor
works properly.
2. Check the limit sensor by following：
a. Check the output bit10 LED of No.0 LA50B
DIO module illuminated? If not replace the
PLC.
b. Check the signal line connects properly.
c. Check the sensor work properly? If not
replace the sensor.
3. Check the front/middle magnetic sensors of the
conveyor inlet cylinder work properly? If not
replace the sensor.
Dye Pot Tray Is Unable
Move To Outlet Conveyor
(AutoLab TF
88/128/168)
1. Middle conveyor failure
2. Outlet limit sensor failure
3. Outlet cylinder failure
4. Outlet conveyor failure
1. Check the middle conveyor by following：
a. Check the output bit11 LED of No.0
LA50B DIO module illuminated? If not
replace the PLC. If yes, check the SSR-2
and replace it if defective.
b. Check the capacitor of conveyor motor
works properly.
2. Check the limit sensor by following：
a. Check the output bit12 LED of No.0
LA50B DIO module illuminated? If not
replace the PLC.
b. Check the signal line connects properly.
c. Check the sensor work properly? If not
replace the sensor.
3. Check the front/back magnetic sensors of the
conveyor outlet cylinder work properly? If not
replace the sensor.
4. Check the outlet conveyor by following：
a. Check the output bit9 LED of No.0
LA50B DIO module illuminated? If not
replace the PLC. If yes, check the SSR-3
and replace it if defective.
b. Check the capacitor of conveyor motor
works properly.
Dye pot tray is unable to
move in dispense area.
1. Not to push “CONFIRM”
button.
2. The dye pot tray push
cylinder is not detected at
“front” position.
3. The dye pot tray U/D
cylinder is detected at
“down” position.
4. Air pressure too low for
cylinder to active.
5. Main air pressure is not
enough.
1. Press “CONFIRM” push button.
2. Check if the magnetic sensor of front position of
dye pot tray push cylinder works? If not, replace
the magnetic sensor.
3. Check if the magnetic sensor of down position of
dye pot tray U/D cylinder works? If not, replace
the magnetic sensor.
4. Adjust the air inlet pressure at fast-fit connector
to ensure enough pressure to move cylinder.
5. Ensure the air pressure is set to 4.5~6.0 kg/cm
2
.
6. Ensure the main air pressure is ON.
Dye pot tray is unable to
move to down position to
1. The dye pot tray U/D
cylinder is detected at
1. Check if the magnetic sensor of down position of
dye pot tray U/D cylinder works? If not, replace
