X-Ray Generation Error Codes (Gen)

This module contains the following information:

1 Introduction – Diagnostics and Error Management

The purpose of this document is to give some root causes and recommended actions for the inverter troubleshooting. Any inverter malfunction is stored in the inverter error log and reported to the system through a protocol that transports error code. These errors found can only be reported if the inverter is powered on and live.

This HP Inverter diagnostics section consists on the following information:

  • Power-On diagnostics LED indication.

  • List all the potential error codes that can be issued by the HP Inverter.

  • Provide error code explanation and potential cause.

1.1 Application Self Tests

Under application mode the generator continuously monitors the correct operation of its functions. Faults are reported through an error code and associated message. Some are straightforward and convey the root cause.

1.2 Simplified Error Code Definition

The simplified error code is a grouping of the inverter error codes. This field gives a rapid understanding of which part of HP Inverter is faulty.

1.2.1 Error Class Definition

There are five classes of errors that correspond to different levels of impact to the system. The class of errors corresponds to the seriousness of the error and the system software will manage operations.

1.2.2 Error Code Definition

Each error code comprises two fields (which cannot be generated and used separately):

  • the first field describes the inverter function which is faulty (referred to as the function code)

  • the second field describes the error detected.

Example: error code 0307 means:

  • 03: high voltage generation function;

  • 07: no kV feedback on cathode (see Warning Code List).

1.2.3 Data Associated with the Error Code

The field data associated with the error code shows detailed information over the state of the inverter when the error occurred. Examples: rotation high speed acceleration state, small focus preheat.

2 Error Code List

The error code list and associated short description is presented below. Only those error codes with an "X" in the rightmost column pertain to the JEDI subsystem in this product.

3 Warning Code List

The warning code list and associated short description is presented below. Only those warning codes with an "X" in the rightmost column pertain to the JEDI subsystem in this product.

4 Error Reporting

The inverter error is logged in the system event log file and displayed on the operator console (or workstation), the inverter event log upload functionality is available to get more detailed information about the error. This function must be performed from the operator console (or workstation).

5 Detailed Error Description and Troubleshooting

  • warning
  • Potential for shock.
  • Voltage may be present.
  • Before any manual intervention, ensure the main power is off. Apply lock out-tag out procedure for your own safety when manipulating inside the equipment.

For each error code this manual shows an associated message and additional explanation related to the error occurrence.

Codes are sorted by ascending order both for simplified code and error code. Refer to the theory of operation for error code structure. Information about associated data structure is located at the end of each error code subset whenever it applies.

5.1 Tube Spits Detection Errors (Code 30) Guide

note:

Regarding error 30 0324H:

The generator sends only one message of error for all the spits (0324H) at the end of the exposure. During the same exposure we may have different kinds of spits.

In the data of this error we can distinguish between the different spits:

1: Spit in anode side

2: Spit in cathode side

4: Spit in both sides

8: kV regulation error.

For an exposure with anode and both sides spit, the data will be 5.

In case of KV regulation error , decrease kV-mA target of exposure (for example 60kV-50mA).

5.2 Anode Rotation Errors (Code 40)

5.3 Filament Heater Errors (Code 50)

5.4 Exposure Errors (Code 60)

5.5 Power Supply Errors (Code 70)

5.6 Hardware Errors (Code 80)

5.7 Application Errors (Code 90)

5.8 Communication Errors (Code 100)

5.9 Thermal Errors (Code 110)

5.10 Manipulation Errors (Code 120)

5.11 Ingrid Errors (Code 130)

5.12 Tube Switch Errors (Code 140)
