Why do I get an error message CAN node defective?

,

Error description

The milling machine is at a standstill, there is an error message that the CAN node is defective.

Cause of error

The milling machine is controlled via a CAN bus. This bus is used by the computer connected to the tiller to communicate with the tiller. The computer usually has a PCI CAN bus card and a programme that runs on the computer (small smiley at the bottom of the taskbar).

Why is my milling machine milling the previous job?

, , , , , ,

Error description

Instead of the new job, the milling machine mills the old job again and again. The milling machine does not accept new jobs.

Causes of errors

This is usually due to a network problem or an operating error in the GP Manager. Make sure that you have selected "Analysis" -> "GP milling machine" after you have selected the milling job also "Create milling file" select.

Troubleshooting

  1. Start the GP Manager
  2. Select the customer for whom you would like to create a milling order via "Project" -> "Determine", or create a new customer.
  3. Select the GP CAD file that you want to use for the milling machine by double-clicking on it.
  4. In the new view, select "Milling“

Which MobilData pressure measurement system do I use?

MobilData (Bluetooth)

The data is transferred via Bluetooth. To do this, a small Bluetooth stick is connected to the computer via USB.

GP_MobilData_1

 

MobilData (WiFi)

Transmission takes place via W-LAN, for which a W-LAN router is included. A WiFi USB stick is also supplied if the computer on which MobliData (WiFi) is used does not have an integrated WiFi.

Mobile-Data-Wifi

MobilData Logger (no longer manufactured)

If you own the logger, your device has a memory card on which the measurement data is saved. The device also has its own control element into which the memory card is inserted.

MobilData radio (no longer manufactured)

The data is transmitted directly to the computer by radio. A wireless receiver is connected to the computer via USB. The system is not compatible with 64 bit operating systems. This means that when switching to another operating system, care must be taken to ensure that a 32 bit version is purchased and installed.

Causes of errors

No PDF printer is installed or the installed PDF printer is not entered in the configuration files.

Troubleshooting

You can export any measurement as a PDF by printing the file as a PDF. If a PDF printer is installed, you can export a PDF by first explicitly selecting the PDF printer via "Printer" -> "Printer setup ..." button. Remember to then reset the printer to your usual printer in the same way. This also works if the PDF printer is not entered in the configuration files.

If you "Save PDF" more frequently, please contact GeBioM Support and tell them to add your PDF printer to the configuration file.

If you do not know how to print a measurement, follow the instructions "Save measurement as PDF".

If a PDF printer has not yet been installed, go to "Install Bullzip PDF printer" describes how to install a free PDF printer.
