Alarm Number Explanation:
The alarms are given in individual bits and are reflected in the alarm number. The alarm number is only
used to drive a pop-up message and will probably not be very useful to you. If you decide to use the
alarm number instead of reading the individual alarm bits then the related values are shown below:
N26:0 Value
Alarm Description
0= NO ALARM
1= HOPPER LOW LEVEL
2= HOPPER OUT OF MATERIAL
3= HOPPER OVER FILLING ALARM
4= NO EXTRUDER RPM DETECTED
5= NO EXTRUDER FLOW DETECTED
6= HAULOFF DRIVE FAILURE
7= LOADCELL OVER MAX
8= PLC BATTER LOW Check PLC and Configure the GH Hopper
9= PLC MODULE LOADED Turn Off Unit,Remove Module, then Configure the GH
Hopper
10=
RELOAD TOO LONG
11= GRAVIMETRIC PERCENTAGE TOO LOW Decrease Extrusion Rate
