Fault code description
This manual describes the fault codes for the welding data unit, which is a part of the
control board, 20AP1, in the power source. The fault codes for the other units are described
in the manuals for these units.
Fault
code
Description
*1 EPROM check sum error - program memory error
This indicates a fault in the check sum test of the program memory, which is run only when
initiating the unit after power up. This fault does not disable any functions.
The program memory is damaged. This is a serious fault, that can have unforeseen effects.
Action: Restart the equipment. If the fault persists, load new software via ESAT. If the fault
still persists, replace the control board 20AP1.
*2 Microprocessor RAM error
The microprocessor is unable to read/write from/to a particular memory address in its
internal memory. This test is performed only as part of initiation at power on. This fault does
not disable any functions.
Action: Restart the equipment. If the fault persists, replace the control board 20AP1.
4 5 V power supply too low
The unregulated power supply voltage for the processor is too low: the smoothing capacitors
cannot keep the voltage up enough for the processor to continue to operate. The processor
stops all normal activities, expecting to be shut down.
Action: Turn off the mains power supply to reset the unit. If the fault persists, check the
power supply to control board 20AP1.
12 Communication error (warning)
Minor interference on the system's CAN bus.The load on the bus is temporarily too high.
Action: Check that there are no faulty units connected to the CAN bus. Check the cables.
14 Communication error (bus off)
Major interference on the system's CAN bus.The communication has temporarily ceased,
due to excessive load on the bus. The current welding process is stopped.
Action: Check that there are no faulty units connected to the CAN bus. Check the cables.
Turn off the mains power supply to reset the unit.
15 Lost messages
The bus CAN controller indicates that a message has been lost. No functions are disabled
by this fault.
Action: Check that all units are correct connected to the CAN bus.
18 Lost contact with the power source
Current activities will be stopped and welding start is prevented.
This fault can be caused by a break in the connection between the welding data unit and the
control unit in the power source.
This fault should not happen, because both units are located on the same circuit board.
Action: If it still happens replace the control board 20AP1
19 Memory error in data memory
Information in persistent data memory is incorrect. Basic data will be used.
Action: This fault corrects itself. Turn off the mains power supply to reset the unit. Stored
data in the current memory section will be lost.
If the fault recurs each time the equipment is started, there is a fault in the persistent
memory. Replace control board, 20AP1, in the power source.
