7.11. Motion Control Diagnostics
or Diagnostic Tool
AutoSet Plus software features an advanced motion
control diagnostic tool, that allows the user to
diagnose many issues and resolve the situation.
When the motion control detects an error, the software
notifies the user with a pop up screen. The screen
contains an error code (Figure 92). The errors are tied to
a specific set of issues and identify the areas to check
when solving the problem.

troubleshoot any error.
To troubleshoot an error, click on the Tools icon form
the Main Screen to open the Maintenance Screen

7.11.1. Error Log
The error log is a useful and simple tool that provides
the ability to know when the error occurred, where the
error occurred, and the error code.
The Error Log button opens a Notepad window with a
list of all errors that occurred on the system (Figure 95).
The system can handle over 500+ error entries (500K
word limit).
The error log displays:
1.
Date of error
2.
Time when error occurred
3.
Error location (e.g. Rod number 6)
4.
Error code if available
The error log screen is not an interactive screen, but it is
a useful tool to track all the errors and includes the time
and location of the occurrence. It is also useful to note
an error code, enter it intothe System Diagnostic screen
and troubleshoot the error (Section 7.11.2)
7.11.2. Manual
The MANUAL button opens the System Diagnostic
screen (Figure 96). The System Diagnostic is used
to manually enter an error code and diagnose the
problem. The error code can be read from the pop
up error messages (Figure 92) or from the Error Log
(Figure 95).
