    What to do if temperature control unit (TCU) does not receive setpoint data on GE Xcellerex XDM 50?
    • J
      Joyce LoweDec 1, 2025
      If the Temperature Control Unit (TCU) does not receive setpoint data (temperature is not regulated, mixer vessel jacket does not feel warm, TCU does not sound as running): * Ensure the TCU is powered on. * Check the connection between the I/O Cabinet and the PolyScience™ TCU: 1. Hold the clock button on the left side of the TCU until HL is displayed (a few seconds). 2. Press the clock button repeatedly until CC appears on the left display. 3. If the display message is yes, the connection is working properly. 4. If the display message is no, the connection is not functioning. Check the connection cable between the TCU and PLC. * Check the connection between the I/O Cabinet and the Mokon™TCU: 1. Verify that the controller located on the front of the TCU is pow...

    What to do if load cell is not functioning as expected on GE Xcellerex XDM 50 Mixer?
    • J
      Joseph PrattAug 25, 2025
      If the load cell is not functioning as expected, consider the following: * Ensure the load cell is properly connected. * Contact the metrology department to perform a cornering test to determine if a load cell has failed. * Verify that there are no physical obstructions blocking the load cell's motion. * Disengage the jacking bolt. Note that weight measurements are inaccurate if the mixer was filled while the jacking bolt was engaged. * Contact your GE representative if you suspect the configuration on the load cell transmitter is incorrect or corrupt. * Schedule a calibration of the load cells.

    What to do if weight monitoring error occurs on GE Mixer?
    • K
      Kimberly BennettAug 26, 2025
      If you encounter a weight monitoring error, such as a weight display outside the operational range or a weight alarm triggered when the mixer weight is within range, consider the following: * Contact the metrology department to perform a cornering test to determine if a load cell has failed. * Check for any physical obstructions that may be hindering the load cell's motion. Ensure the mixer vessel legs are free. * Disengage the jacking bolt. Note that inaccurate weight measurements can occur if the mixer was filled while the jacking bolt was engaged. * Contact your GE representative if you suspect the weight transmitter configuration is incorrect or corrupt.

    What to do if agitator does not start on FlexFactory controlled GE Xcellerex XDM 50?
    • K
      Kathryn ClarkAug 27, 2025
      If the agitator does not start on a FlexFactory controlled mixer: * Enable the agitator. * Tap RESET on the local control software screen and start the agitator when the system has been restarted after emergency shutdown. Note: The agitator cannot be started while the system is in the state E-STOP. * If the system is in Manual mode, set the system to Auto mode and specify the setpoint. Note: When the system is in Manual mode the setpoint is ignored.

    Why is variable frequency drive (VFD) not functioning as expected in GE Xcellerex XDM 50 Mixer?
    • S
      Stephanie AndersonAug 27, 2025
      The variable frequency drive (VFD) might not be functioning as expected due to: * The motor being overloaded. Acknowledge the agitator fault and attempt to restart the motor. If the error persists, contact GE for service. * The power cable not being connected. Connect the power cable. * The drive is broken. Contact your GE representative to replace the drive.

    What to do if pH sensor changes are very slow for the application on GE Xcellerex XDM 50 Mixer?
    • S
      Shawn JohnsonSep 7, 2025
      If pH sensor changes are very slow and pH control is not rapid enough for the application, do a study to find the best tuning parameters for your system and available reagents, as the tuning parameters or the concentration of the applied acid or base may not be sufficient.
