Problem:

After main switch off and on again, HMI piece counter values and settings are lost or old recipes are loaded.

Possible Causes & Resolutions:

  • IPC has not shut down correctly.Check the IPC after you switched off the main switch: Normally it will continue to run for at least 30 seconds to shut down correctly. If LED’s of IPC goes off within a few second, the battery of the UPS – unit is dead and needs to be replaced.

 

Problem:

The HMI cannot be started and the browser shows „NOT FOUND, The requested URL /en/default.htm was not found on this server“.

Possible Causes & Resolutions:

Not connected to Canman Wifi (only for wireless connected iPad’s): Check the wifi settings. Choose Canman wifi and try again.

IPC has not shut down correctly: In this case probably the HMI software can’t start up automatically by restarting the machine.

Check the IPC after you switched off the main switch: Normally it will continue to run for at least 30 seconds to shut down correctly. If LED’s of IPC goes off within a few second, the battery of the UPS – unit is dead and needs to be replaced.  Contact Canman for online support to restart HMI.

Problem:

  • HMI communication error (see picture)
  • Not able to run the welder

IMG-20201111-WA0070.jpeg

 

Possible Causes & Resolution:

  • Turn the machine off and back on and see if the error message comes up again.
  • Check for the LED “on” at the PLC.
  • The machine isn’t showing any reaction (for example wire manual)
  • Please check the MPI-bus connection between the touch panel and the PLC.
  • Also check if all the PLC modules are properly mounted to the c-rail.
  • The machine was switched off for a longer period.
  • The PLC has an internal battery. To be sure that it can be sufficient charged, leave the machine power on for >24 hours.
  • Change the battery of the Pacemaker, see FAQ PM send error / PM receive error or welding parameter don’t match after starting the machine.
The HMI of Can Man machines is optimized for an iPad, but as an alternative, a computer, laptop or another tablet with a browser can be used as well.
How to:
  1. Connect your device to the WLAN „CM_SMARTControl“. If you don’t have a Wi-Fi connection on your machine, connect a LAN cable to the router.
    Note: The Wi-Fi is password protected! Contact Can Man by opening a new ticket or ask your superior.
  2. Open the browser. Supported browser are Safari, Chrome or Firefox.
  3. Enter the correct IP address:
    Welder ➔ http://192.168.10.10
    Welding monitor ➔ http://192.168.10.11
    Slitter ➔ http://192.168.10.13
    Feeder ➔ http://192.168.10.15

Note: If you use a new iPad the icons for the machine type can be produced, when you tap on “Add to home screen“ button.

Problem:
Display shows „Could not activate iPad“

Possible causes & resolutions:

  • No internet connection > Check network connection of machine.
  • Firewall blocks connection to iPad > Try to connect the iPad to other Wifi without firewall, for example hot spot of mobile phone.
  • Try to make a reset by holding down the home and power button simultaneously for a few seconds until the Apple logo appears. Don’t worry, the iPad doesn’t have any data inside, it only displays the values from the browser. Can Man does not use an Apple ID to activate the iPad’s, so the iPad is resettable.
  • iPad might be defective > We will offer new one or you organize it locally.

For connecting an alternative display / PC, please have a look at the separate FAQ.

Problem:

iPad does not connect to the machine. Screen remains gray and shows no values.

Possible Causes & Resolutions:

  • Connection via Wi-Fi
    • In the settings, check whether the iPad has connected to the correct Can Man Wi-Fi
    • If no Can Man Wi-Fi is visible, check router/wireless access point.
      ➔ Restart router/wireless access point. If still no Can Man Wi-Fi is visible, the router/wireless access point has lost the settings or is broken. Contact Can Man via by opening a new ticket.
  • Connection via Cable
    • Check all plug connections of the network cable between IPC and iPad
    • Check iPad adapter power supply. The adapter must always be powered, otherwise the connection will not work.

Possible cause:

  • Between touchscreen and frame there might be dirt or the airgap is too small.
  • Touchpanel defect.
  • Scale of the touchscreen surface is not correct.
    Contact Can Man use E-ticket.

Possible Cause (CM16 / S, X8):

  1. Check air supply for the cylinder.
  2. Eject cylinder must push the canbodies inthe center, the can must move verticallyaway from eject cylinder.
  3. Second light barrier is always ON.Sensor dirty or bad adjustment.
    LED on light barrier must be ON without can, OFF if a can is detected.
  4. Control wiring of first and second light barrier according electrical diagram.
  5. Make sure the faulty can is really ejected, means does not touch the edge of the bin and jumps back.
    => Use a fixed channel underneath the eject station, instead of a mobile bin!

Adjustment of the light barrier distance to eject cylinder might be wrong.

Wrong adjustment of the transport belt speed.

NOTE:
The ejected can should whether touch the can before nor the following.

Eject pulse cylinder has to fit to production speed:

Recommendation: 150-200msfor<100cpm 100-150msfor100-200cpm

80-100msfor200-400cpm

Place a canbody between the second light barrier and check the LED „LD3“ on the eject print (inside the Pacemaker).
Must be „ON“.

The autoreset needs to be “OFF”. Therefore the can memory will not be reset automatically.

Check, if your hardware parameters are set correctly, according to one of the three layouts.

Possible Cause (Pacemaker):

  1. Check air supply for the cylinder.
  2. Second light barrier is always ON.
    Sensor dirty or bad adjustment.
    LED on light barrier must be ON without can, OFF if a can is detected.
  3. Adjustment of the light barrier distance to eject cylinder might be wrong.

  4. Wrong adjustment of the transport belt speed.

Possible cause:

  • Problem with the touch panel data file, which is loaded on the memory card.
    • Exchange the memory card. Before CanMan will send you a new card, we will store your parameter (prior shipment of your X8).
  • The touch panel itself has a fault.
    • Exchange the touch panel.


NOTE:
 all timing settings are stored on the PLC and not on the memory card.

  1. Clean the surface with a moist cloth. Check also for scratches or damages.
  2. Check if the frame presses on the touchscreen. The active surface is bigger than the screen. If necessary bring some clearance  between the frame and the touch.
  3. If you tip simultaneously on two spots, the touchscreen can block for a short period. Wait for a couple of seconds.

Corretive:

  • Replace water filter or increase water inlet pressure (min. 5 bar at the inlet).
  • Check / adjust water pressure switch; see picture below: manometer (1) / pressure switch (2).

WARNING: Do not adjust pressure switch unless synchronized / confirmed with / from Can Man!
