What to do if ROBWAY Controller load display is very erratic?
If the ROBWAY Controller load display shows massive changes in value, it may be due to different load values being entered for the high and low calibration without altering the actual load. In this case, correct the calibration. It can also happen if you've only partially completed the calibration procedure, so ensure you fully calibrate the sensor.
How to fix error code 101 on ROBWAY Controller?
Error code 101 on the ROBWAY Controller can be caused by several issues related to the angle sensor. One potential cause is an incorrectly mounted angle sensor. To resolve this, refer to Section 7.4.4 “Verifying Operation of Sensors” of the manual for calibration of the angle sensor. Other causes include the angle sensor signal wire being short-circuited, shorted to the excitation positive wire, disconnected, or having an open circuit. Also, the angle sensor 0V wire could be open circuit, or the excitation voltage might be shorted, which could also affect the length and load channels.
What to do if ROBWAY RCI-4100 Controller display does not start?
If the ROBWAY Controller display doesn't start, check the power supply. Refer to Section 11. “General Specification” for the required voltage range. If the supply is within range, open the RCI Control Unit and check the fuses.
What to do if ROBWAY RCI-4100 Controller load does not vary when lifting a weight?
If the ROBWAY Controller load doesn't change when lifting a weight, the load cable or the load sensor might be faulty. Check the load cable for faults. If the cable is good, check the resistance values of the load cell. Also, view the UNCALIBRATED TRANSDUCER INPUT for that sensor to ensure that the value changes when a load is lifted. If it doesn’t, it may be a fault with the sensor or sensor mounting hardware. Ensure that the load is being applied to the load cell correctly (e.g., sister plates binding a tension cell, or dynamometer centre sheave damaged/stuck).
How to fix error code 201 on ROBWAY Controller?
Error code 201 on the ROBWAY Controller can arise from several wiring issues with the load cell. It could be due to load cell signal wires shorted together, the signal + shorted to the shield, or the excitation - shorted to the shield. The excitation supply might be shorted, affecting all external sensors. The load cell could also be disconnected, or there might be an open circuit in one of the signal wires. Other potential causes include the signal - connected to the shield, or the signal + and excitation + or signal - and excitation - wires being swapped.
Why ROBWAY Controller displays are erratic on start-up?
Erratic displays on the ROBWAY Controller during morning start-up, which then stabilize, are likely due to moisture in the display, connectors, sensors, or cable. These components should be checked, dried, and sealed.
What does “LCtrl” on ROBWAY Controller mean?
If the ROBWAY Controller display shows “LCtrl” on the top screen and then hangs during start-up, it indicates a data logger control error. To resolve this, insert and turn the over-ride key switch ON, then press the ENTER button. The display will show “YES” to confirm. While “YES” is shown on the screen, press the ENTER button again until the display gets into the normal initialisation/ set-up routine and then to normal operating mode.
What does error code 301 mean on ROBWAY RCI-4100?
Error code 301 on the ROBWAY Controller indicates a violation of the angle limits. This could be due to a genuine violation, a loosened angle sensor mounting, or a discrepancy between the displayed angle and the actual boom angle. Check the angle displayed against the actual angle of the boom.
What does error code 240 mean on ROBWAY RCI-4100 Controller?
Error code 240 on the ROBWAY Controller can mean one of two things: a genuine overload condition exists or the error has been caused by another error code condition.
What does error code 304 mean on ROBWAY RCI-4100 Controller?
Error code 304 on the ROBWAY Controller indicates a genuine violation of the radius limits.
