Tilting Table Troubleshooting guide


❖ Preface

WARNING
Some, few, of the actions described in this TSG could cause harm to the operator and/or expose him/her to electrical shock.
Also, some operations require to enter in the “maintenance/service” mode of the unit and, by this, to disable some (unit) safeties.
As by all on the above, any one of the operations listed in this TroubleShooting Guide must be executed by fully trained FSEs.

On the discovery RF180 system, when an error happens, the related message is displayed. The message is composed by a “code” and an explanation
“text”.

The code is composed by three fields, displayed as: “SS-DD-CCCCC”.

SS is the subject (the entity) that generates / reports the error.

SS = 00 ➔ Subject = DLL (reference: 5793730-1EN TSG - Digital)


SS = 01 ➔ Subject = Generator (reference: 5792128-1EN - Generator)
SS = 02 ➔ Subject = Tilting Table
SS = 03 ➔ Subject = Main Controller (reference: 5793730-1EN TSG - Digital)
SS = 04 ➔ Subject = Inside (reference: 5793730-1EN TSG - Digital)
SS = 99 ➔ Subject = “Unknown” (see next page)

DD is the Device (sub part of the above entity) that generates / reports the error.
CCCCC is the error code generated by the above Device.

As because of this is the troubleshooting guide of the table, on the following pages are considered / displayed only the error codes starting by “02”.
As by the description on the above page, on this guide are only considered (taken in analysis) the codes: “02-DD-CCCCC”.

5793731-1EN, Rev. 8 Troubleshooting Guide Table

When (one of) the table’s CPU card detect and error, the corresponding error code is displayed, together with a short “meaning” text message. These
information are also stored in the “Table error log file” to be accessible during the troubleshooting done by a field service engineer (FSE).

It is also important to be aware that, when the system software detects a fault/error, it could act “automatically” on the system to prevent further
“problems”, for example “disabling” power supplies (and so on). The direct consequence of this, is that “it” could detect other, auto-caused, error codes.
As by this, it is important that, during the unit troubleshooting, the FSE it takes care to identify, also by the time stamps, the real fault/error source.

❖ About the tables on the following pages:


o On the first column is stated the error code number as it is displayed, and stored on the system.
o The second column gives a short description of the error meaning (also, this is stored in the error log).
o On the third column it is reported the troubleshooting of the error - The possible error causes are listed as by their decreasing probability.
o On the next (fourth) column could be present additional info(s) about the error or its troubleshooting.
o On the last (fifth) column there are information about the system response / behavior as consequence of the listed error as well as some comments.

❖ Typographic conventions
In order to facilitate the use of this manual, different styles and types were used. the text identified by the following bullets indicates:
• Instructions to be executed, according to the test/measuring/troubleshooting sequence.
➢ Operation to be executed (branch / jump) depending on a measure / a test that it was made (immediately) before.
➔ “hyperlink” (inside the document) to the point/operation indicated in the text.

❖ Notes:
o The listed errors could be generated / displayed during the normal use of the unit (some only at the startup).
o Many of the error listed on the following are not generated (check disabled) while the unit is in maintenance / calibration mode.
o Some of the error listed on the following could be generated only in Debug mode (with a software debug tool connected to the CPU). If a “debug” related
error is displayed in normal or in maintenance mode, the related CPU card is probably defective and must be changed.
o On the following Error analysis, some lines and/or table cell related to particular errors are “grey filled”. This is done intentionally, to indicate
deprecated errors, future/planned errors, or errors related to OPTIONS that are not actually present on the Discovery unit.
o The electrical measurements done during the troubleshooting of the CAN line will be executed using a normal multimeter. By this, the values will be the
ones of "pure" DC resistances. Anyway, to remember us that we are in presence of a communication line, for those measures we will continue to use the
word “impedance” or, “line impedance” (I.E. we will measure the “active” / “real” part of the impedance or, the impedance with zero phase angle).
o For a better document navigation, some hyperlink are provided; Some of those are intuitive, the others are indicated by the symbol ➔
o At the bottom left side of the pages is present a hyperlink that give the possibility to Jump (back) to the “TSG Index” (to the Index page of this manual).

Appendix 02 – Broken (or not properly terminated) Can line


To troubleshoot the CAN line, please to take as reference the following connection diagram.

(TSG Index ➔) Page 207


GE Healthcare Discovery RF180
5793731-1EN, Rev. 8 Troubleshooting Guide Table

Preliminary:

The nominal value of the CAN line impedance, measured between the CAN H and the CAN L lines, is 60 Ohm (or 180 Ohm, if measured on an
“intermediary” CPU terminator jumper).

In case of, considering the component tolerance and the measuring tool error, the measured impedance (with the unit “OFF”) is bigger of 70 Ohm
(or bigger than 190 Ohm, if measured between the two pin of an “intermediary” CPU terminator jumper) we are in presence of one of the
following cases:

o The CAN line is, somewhere, interrupted.

o The CAN line is not properly terminated on one or both sides.

❖ To troubleshoot the above situation it is necessary to do some tests and measuring on the physical line. At this proposal, please to take as
reference the connection diagram of the previous page.

❖ Also if is not a must, a short UTP (not crossed) patch cable could be helpful to do some of the tests listed on the following points.

In case of the system is provided of the “in-room” control desk, the test must be executed in two steps:

I. Test without the “in-room” control desk

II. Test of the “in-room” control desk and its related wirings

With the unit “OFF”


• In case of system provided of the “in-room” control desk, disconnect CN134.

Please to locate the two jumpers JP1 and JP2 on the Clisis Main card (“T” CPU card). Both of these
two jumpers are “closed” (jumpers are mounted).

Measure the impedance between JP1 and JP2 (without removing the jumpers).

➢ In case the measured value is 120 Ohm (+/- 10 Ohm), the line is somewhere
“cut” or, one of the two terminators is not mounted.
Go to point “A”. ➔

➢ In case the measured value is greater than 1 Megaohm (about infinite), the line is completely
not terminated or, it is “cut” on two (or more) points.

This case could be considered as a double (or multiple) “A.” problem.


As by the above, to troubleshoot this case, is necessary to iterate the “A.
troubleshooting” untill the measured impedance between the Jumpers
JP1 and JP2 (on the “T” CPU card), with the jumpers mounted, is 60 Ohm
(+/- 10 Ohm). Go to point “A”. ➔

Appendix 03 – CAN line in short circuit (or not correctly terminated)


To troubleshoot the CAN line, please to take as reference the following connection diagram.

(TSG Index ➔) Page 230


GE Healthcare Discovery RF180
5793731-1EN, Rev. 8 Troubleshooting Guide Table

Preliminary:

The nominal value of the CAN line impedance, measured between the CAN H and the CAN L lines, is 60 Ohm (or 180 Ohm, if measured on an
“intermediary” CPU terminator jumper).

In case of, considering the component tolerance and the measuring tool error, the measured impedance (with the unit “OFF”) is lower of 50 Ohm
(or lower than 170 Ohm, if measured between the two pin of an “intermediary” CPU terminator jumper) we are in presence of one of the
following cases:

• The CAN line is wrongly terminated (more than two terminations are “inserted” on the line).
• The CAN line is, somewhere, in short circuit (cable problem).
• The CAN Driver or some other components on one (or more) CPU cards is faulty.

❖ To troubleshoot this situation it is necessary to do some tests and measuring on the physical line. At this proposal, please to take as reference the
connection diagram of the previous page.

❖ Also if is not a must, a short UTP (not crossed) patch cable could be helpful to do some of the required tests.

NOTE: To troubleshoot the above cases, it will be necessary to remove the jumpers from JP1 and JP2. Please to take care to reinsert
these jumpers while any one of the above three troubleshooting procedures is completely ended (after a card changing and so on).

In case of the system is provided of the “in-room” control desk, the test must be executed in two steps:

I. Test without the “in-room” control desk

II. Test of the “in-room” control desk and its related wirings

Appendix 04 – CAN line insulation (to GND) problem


To troubleshoot the CAN line, please to take as reference the following connection diagram.

(TSG Index ➔) Page 247


GE Healthcare Discovery RF180
5793731-1EN, Rev. 8 Troubleshooting Guide Table

NOTE: As for the sake of this analysis it is important to consider that the multimeter used to do the measuring is an “invasive object”. The voltage
that it use to measure the resistance/impedance can “cause” a leakage current that it flowing through the TVS protection components (transzorb,
transil) that are present on the CAN lines (components mounted from CAN-H, CAN-L and CAN GND lines).
As by all on the above, an impedance that would be normally over 500 KOhm it could be indicated, by the multimeter, in the range 60 – 65 KOhm. This
value it is so used on the following procedure to identify CAN line – to GND insulation issues.

*** In case the measured CAN line impedance, measured between GND and CAN H (or CAN L) lines, is lower than 60 KOhm, we are facing one or both
of the following situation(s):

• One or more cards is / are defective.


• One or more cable(s) is / are defective.

❖ As the problem could be generated by more than one fault, it will be necessary to re-iterate the procedure till the insulation problem it is solved.
❖ As the standard impedance between CAN H and CAN L lines is about 60 Ohm, and this value is really lower than 60 KOhm, the troubleshooting is
done measuring only on one of the two signal lines.

NOTE: During the troubleshooting, it will be necessary to remove the jumpers from JP1 and JP2. Please to take care to reinsert these
jumpers while the troubleshooting procedure is completely ended, after a card changing and so on.

Also, some connectors are to disconnect during the tests, please to take care to re-connect all the cables at the end of the
troubleshooting procedures.

❖ To troubleshoot this situation it is necessary to do some tests and measuring on the physical line. At this proposal, please to take as reference the
connection diagram of the previous page.

❖ Also if is not a must, a short UTP (not crossed) patch cable could be helpful to do some of the required tests.

In case of the system is provided of the “in-room” control desk, the test must be executed in two steps:

I. Test without the “in-room” control desk.

6) Procedure / Appendix #5 final steps.

Before to exit from this Procedure/Appendix and, by this, to Check if the unit is properly working are to consider the actions we made on the
previous steps.

In particular, we have to consider if we have changed one (or more) CPU cards. In affirmative case, before to restoring the correct unit
functionality we must load on those CPU cards a software of the same release/version as the one is installed on the unit before our
“maintenance” (the one was on the CPU card that we changed) as well as we must re-calibrate the parameters related to the table’s functions
controlled by that CPU.

• Verify that all the cables and connectors are properly re-connected.

➢ If the “T” CPU card (Clisis Main) it was changed.

• According to the unit Service manual (code 5793727-1EN), Load on the “T” CPU the same release/version as the one is (was originally)
installed on the unit before.

• According to the figure on the unit Service manual (code 5793727-1EN), Verify the correct Jumper setting.

• According to the unit Service manual (code 5793727-1EN), Re-configure the parameters related to the functions controlled by the “T” CPU
card.

• According to the unit Service manual (code 5793727-1EN), Re-calibrate the parameters related to the functions controlled by the “T” CPU
card.

Exit this procedure/Appendix and check for the unit proper working.

Appendix 06 – Driver (related) errors codes


In relation to the troubleshooting of the error codes related to the drivers ( errors 02 00 ccccc, 02 01 ccccc, 02 02 ccccc and, 02 03 ccccc), it is
necessary to take as reference the (two) manuals of the drivers (for a better understanding, parts of those manuals are also copied on the following pages).

Error Code Error source


SS DD CCCCC
02 00 ccccc Error is generated by (is coming from) "Column longitudinal motor driver "
02 01 ccccc Error is generated by (is coming from) "Table Elevation motor driver"
02 02 ccccc Error is generated by (is coming from) "SFD longitudinal motor driver"
02 03 ccccc Error is generated by (is coming from) "Table Top longitudinal motor driver"

The procedure to “decode the error codes” is the following:

1) Identify the driver by the related code (DD).


2) Note the hexadecimal error code “ccccc” = “ABCD(h)”, and go to the table on chapter 6.1 of the “AKD CANopen Communications Manual” (“ABCD”
digits are indicated as 0xABCD).
3) On the table, identify the corresponding Fault/Warning code. This code could be indicated as “nXXX” or as “FXXX” (where “n” means “warning” and
“F” means “Fault”) .
4) On the “AKD Servo Drive Fault Card” manual, locate the code as by the above point 3) and follow the related troubleshooting instructions (if present).

Example: Error 02 00 73C7h ➔ Column longitudinal motor driver error 0x73C7 ➔ Driver Error F484 (Motor V phase missing)
0x73C7 F484 Motor V phase missing.

CANopen Emergency Messages and Error Codes


Emergency messages are triggered by internal equipment errors. They have a high ID-priority to ensure quick
access to the bus. An emergency message contains an error field with pre- defined error/fault numbers (2
bytes), an error register (1byte), the error category (1 byte), and additional information. Error numbers 0000h
to 7FFFh are defined in the communication or drive profile. Error numbers FF00h to FFFFh have manufacturer-
specific definitions.

❖ Fault and Warning Messages


When a fault occurs, the drive fault relay is opened, the output stage is switched off (motor loses all torque), or the load is
dynamically braked. The specific drive behavior depends on the type of fault. The LED display on the front panel of the drive
shows the number of the fault that occurred. If a warning is issued prior to the fault, the warning is shown on the LED and has
the same number as the associated fault. Warnings do not trip the power stage of the drive or fault relay output.
The left side of the LED displays F for a fault or n for a warning. The right side displays the fault or warning number as follows: 1-
0-1-[break]. The highest priority fault is displayed on the LED. Multiple faults may be present when a fault condition is
occurring. Check the AKD WorkBench Fault Screen or read the status of DRV.FAULTS through the controller or HMI for the
entire list of faults.
