SRVO-090

SRVO-090: DTERR alarm (track encoder no response)

Line-tracking mirror of SRVO-068: the conveyor encoder didn't answer the interface board's data request - a feedback communication failure on the tracking channel.

What it means

Line-tracking mirror of SRVO-068: the conveyor encoder didn't answer the interface board's data request - a feedback communication failure on the tracking channel.

Common causes

Ranked by what technicians most often find, most likely first.

  1. Cable connections loose at the I/F board or encoder end.
  2. Shield not grounded at the grounding plate.
  3. Failed encoder, tracking cable, or line tracking I/F board.

How to fix it

  1. Reseat both cable ends.
  2. Verify shield grounding.
  3. Then replace in order: encoder, tracking cable, I/F board. Power-cycle to clear.
