13.17 What error messages are there for measurement/the
process status, and how can I correct errors?
The messages in square brackets are shown on the display of the MP85A.
Message Cause Remedy
Transducer error
[TransdErr]
Amplifier overflow in
the MP85A
Check the connected transducer and the
type of connection (are sense leads con
nected?). A displacement transducer may
be incorrectly positioned (core extended
too far), or the transducer or a cable may
be faulty.
ADC overflow
[ADC Ovfl]
The A/D converter
has overflowed
This indicates a similar problem to a trans
ducer error. The measurement signal may
be too large; check the measuring range.
Gross overflow
[Grv Ovfl]
The gross measured
value is outside the
measuring range
This can happen if excessive tare loads are
present. The indicated net value plus tare
load adds up to the gross value.
Scaling error
[Scal.Err]
An incorrect scale
was specified
Please check the entered values and see
FAQ “What are the limitations for (trans
ducer) scaling?” on page 135.
EEPROM error An error occurred
when reading out
the EEPROM of the
MP85A
This may be a one-off read error; please
repeat the process. If the error reoccurs,
please contact HBM Service or HBM
Support (see PME Assistant online help).
Flash error An error occurred
when reading out
the flash EPROM.
This may be a one-off read error; please
repeat the process. If the error reoccurs,
please contact HBM Service or HBM
Support (see PME Assistant online help).
CAN bus error An error has
occurred on the
CAN bus
Check that the termination resistors are
present and whether a channel is faulty.
Then switch the devices back on. If this
does not help, connect the devices to the
CAN bus one at a time, to find out which
device is faulty.
