FAILURES AND FAULTS WITH THE B&R PLC

Since the machine is corresponding with a PLC, it already has an advanced self-
diagnostic system; in fact, questioning the PLC via a keyboard, you can recognize all
kinds of anomalies.
Using this system it is possible to precisely identify the cause of the alarm and the
possible solutions.
In case of failure, the machine enters a state of alarm, highlighted by the activation of
a siren and / or flashing light.
Thanks to the keyboard, it is possible to identify the kind of anomaly.
The alarm in progress is automatically displayed with "ALARM 00", where the number
indicates the kind of anomaly.
To understand the number, see the following list.

A14_05 EXCESS KILOGRAM-FORCE ON LEFT MOULD CLOSING ALARM

CONSEQUENCE
− -The machine goes into alarm status during the calculation phase and does
not stop; the mould thickness calculation phase continues

76
 Elenco allarmi e ricerca guasti

− When the automatic cycle is enabled, the machine goes into alarm status
and if the problem is repeated for 3 consecutive times the machine stops

PROBLEM
− During the closing phase in the calculation phase, the system detected that
the closing force was exceeded with respect to the set one (approx. +1500
kg)
− Any bottles and /or burr that may be trapped in the closed mould during the
automatic cycle would increase the thickness and this would require more
closing strength and consequently the set kg would be exceeded.

SOLUTION
− Let the system continue the calculation phase of the mould thickness being
calibrated.
− If the problem persists check the correct operation of the adjustment
system
− Stop the automatic cycle and remove any jammed items
