1. Introduction about diagnostics and error management


This document is based on the Jedi plateforme troubleshooting guide 2357296INS Rev1

JEDI software performs self-test at power up and continuously monitors the correct operation of its
functions during application. Any malfunction is stored in the JEDI error log and reported to the system
through a protocol that transports error code. Errors found can only be reported if the generator is
powered on and live.
This diagnostics section is to introduce the JEDI Generator with the following information:
- Power-on self-tests LED indication.
- List all the potential error codes that can be issued by JEDI Generator.
- Provide error code explanation, potential cause and recommended action.
- List of diagnostics aids and explanation of diagnostics.

1.1 JEDI tests and diagnostics


There are different levels of tests and diagnostics implemented in the JEDI generator.

1.1.1 Power-on self tests


At power-up the PPC kV control performs its own initialization, checks its memory integrity (checksum of
program and NVRAM) and starts the communication with its peripherals as well as the system.
Communication is permanently checked afterwards. It then initializes the Rotation board and Heater
board with their respective database parameters and loads PPC kV control FPGA.
Eight LEDs (S7..S0) on kV the control board show the software status.
During power-on, the Heater board and the Rotation board CPUs are initialized and check their memory
integrity and hardware. If a problem is encountered, a PRD error is reported to the PPC kV control.

1.1.2 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. Refer to the recommended action in the error list and troubleshooting guide.

1.1.3 Manual Diagnostics


On the generator we can also perform test to check its functions independently.
•= heating function
•= rotation function
•= inverter gate command diagnostic
•= inverter in short circuit diagnostic
•= no load HV function diagnostics
•= AEC diagnostics

These tests are referred to as manual diagnostics or diagnostics. Diagnostics are usually implemented
in the system console or in the service software (executed from the service laptop).

1.2 Error Code Structure


Application self tests and diagnostics generate errors. The error code structure described in this chapter
applies to JEDI error detection and logging. The JEDI error log file can be accessed from the system
through the system console or a laptop (JEDI error log upload functionality).
When an error is detected, it is sent to the system and is logged in parallel in the JEDI error log file. The
file contains a maximum of sixty four logs.
Each log shows the following structure:

Simplified Generator Error Error Data associated Number of Date


error code Phase Class Code with the error code occurrences & time

The fields are described in the following paragraphs.

1.2.1 Simplified Error Code Definition


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

Simplified Description
Error Code
30 Tube spits errors
40 Rotation errors
50 Heater errors
60 Exposure errors (HV inverter + mA measure + exposure control
70 Power supply errors (low voltage + DC bus)
80 Hardware errors (internal communications + cables)
90 Application errors (saved RAM + software)
100 External communication errors
110 Thermal errors
120 Manipulation Errors
130 Grid Errors (Not used for Jedi/Falcon)
140 Tube Switch Errors (Not used for Jedi/Falcon)
10 Rotation warnings (engineering use)
20 Heater warnings (engineering use)
25 LVPS warnings (engineering use)
27 Application warnings (mainly saved RAM battery change)

1.2.2 Generator Phase Definition


The generator phase field contains the state of the generator when the error occurred.

Generator Description
Phase
0 idle: entered in diagnostic mode
1 powered up; waiting for configuration
2 Stand by: configuration completed, waiting for a preparation command
3 Preparation in progress: JEDI gets ready to take X-rays
Ready for exposures (rotation at speed; filament; HV inverter drive
4
ready; no errors): waiting for an exposure command
5 High voltage on
6 Error detected and not yet cleared
7 Tube Switching

1.2.3 Error Class Definition


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

Class Description
1 Errors which have no impact on the system operation.
Errors detected in background diagnostics during application. They are referred as
”Warning” errors, to monitor drifts and used for engineering tracking.
The generator phase remains unchanged.
Errors are stored in the JEDI event log.
2 Errors which are detected by JEDI and that are recoverable automatically without
noticeable effect on the system, such as error related to recovered tube spits.
The generator phase remains unchanged.
Errors which usually occur during exposure.
3 Errors detected by JEDI during exposure. They stop the exposure and revert the
generator into a safe state.
Error will be reset on Exposure Command release. It will require another Exposure
Command to restart the sequence.
The generator phase is set to ”error” until the error is cleared.
4 Errors which are related to any hardware failures, software application or
communication errors.
JEDI will revert to a safe state.
If preparation is in progress, it is stopped.
Errors are cleared either by a reset error action from the system (for system having a
reset error mechanism) or by a prep release or by a new prep command.
The generator phase is set to ”error” until ther error is cleared.
Application cannot work if errors are persistent.
5 These codes may appear when the generator or tube temperature limits are reached.
The application waits until the thermal information disappears. The error information is
temporary.
The generator phase is set to ”error” until the error is cleared.

1.2.4 Error Code Definition


Each error code comprises two fields (which cannot be generated and used separately):
•= the first field describes the JEDI function which is faulty (referred to as the function code)
•= the second field describes the error detected.

Example: error code 0306 means:


•= 03: high voltage generation function;
•= 06: no kV feedback on anode.
Function Codes List

Code
01 Rotation
02 Heater 1
03 High voltage generation
04 mA control
05 Power supplies
06 System interface
07 Software
08 Application
09 Tube control
10 Tube switch (Not use on Falcon)
11 Grid/Bias (Not use on Falcon)
12 Heater 2 (Not use on Falcon)
13 AEC
14 Hardware
15 Operator error

1.2.5 Data Associated with the Error Code


The field ”data associated with the error code” shows detailed information over the state of the
generator when the error occurred.
Examples: rotation high speed acceleration state, small focus preheat, tube number 1 selected.

1.2.6 Number of Occurrences


The field ”number of occurrences” is used to log the same error occurring several times consecutively.
Instead of filling the error log file with the same error which has occurred consecutively several times,
the first error is logged and successive errors are recorded through increasing the ”number of
occurrences” field.

1.2.7 Date & Time


The field ”date & time” stores the date and time when the error occurred. This is the JEDI internal date
and time which may be different form the system date and time. In the case of logging the same error
several times, the field indicates the date and time of the first occurrence.

2. Power on self tests


Refer to theory of operation for power-on sequence. This paragraph in this section is to provide
meaning of boards’ LED status. The LED display status is offering useful information at a glance to
proceed to error code based troubleshooting. Whenever in doubt, a simple step is to watch the LED
status display on the PPC kV control board, then LVPS100, Rotation, Heater and AEC.

PPC kV control LED status:


The LEDs indicating the status are the yellow LEDs DS17 to DS24 on PPC kV control board. For the LEDs
position, refer to the Illustrated Part document.

For the following,  means LED ON and ⊗ : LED OFF

DS 17........................DS 24
⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗

- Power On self tests: LEDs DS17 to DS24 are lit successively several times very fast

- Application mode: LEDs DS17 to DS24 are lit successively more slowly. The power up self tests are
completed, PPC kV control board is up and running.

DS 17........................DS 24
⊗⊗⊗⊗
- Half of the 8 LED are lit: After the download of the boot this indicates that the PPC kV control board is
erasing the flash memory and preparing for the download of the application. When these tasks are done. the
four leds on the right will lit as shown in the following figure.

DS 17........................DS 24
⊗⊗⊗⊗
- Half of the 8 LED are lit: Normal after the download of the boot. This can also indicate a corrupt software
problem or database checksum problem. In case of software problem communication with the generator will
not be possible. Try to download again the software or replace PPC kV CTRL board. In case of database
problem an error code is logged and communication with the generator is possible. Refer to error code
description.

DS 17........................DS 24
⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗⊗
-When an application error occurs LEDs blink indicating the simplified error code in binary code. When the
error is cleared, the 8 LEDs are lit successively.

Heater board LED status:


After the power on diagnostics, heater board LEDs DS1 and DS2 are lit successively. Refer to block diagrams
for complete explanation of LED indication on this board. Any different status corresponds to an abnormal
situation. An error code is logged. Refer to error code description.

4. Error reporting
The system eventlog adds to the simplified error code the following information:
- error message (refer to the system documentation)
- system phase : state of the system when the error occurred.
- system time : date and time when the error occurred.

Whenever a Generator error is logged in the system eventlog file and displayed on the operator console
(or workstation), the Jedi eventlog upload functionality is available to get more detailed information
about the error.
This function must be performed from the operator console (or workstation).
The simplified error code must be used to find the Jedi error code in the Jedi errorlog file.
Having these two informations, look at the Jedi trouble-shooting table to find the FRU to replace.

5. Error troubleshooting
This chapter describes diagnostics tools based on error codes and specific diagnostics.

WARNING:

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.

5.1 Detailed error description and troubleshooting guide

The table below provides the guidelines to troubleshoot the Generator problems based on the error
codes.
For each code, there are:
-An associated message and additional explanation related to the error occurrence.
-A list of potential cause, in the order of the expected probability.
-A recommended action. In some cases, there is also more information, such as running some
specific diagnostics.
Codes are sorted by ascending order both for simplified code and error code.
Information about associated data structure is located at the end of each error code subset whenever it
applies.

Before servicing the JEDI retrieve the eventlog with the service laptop or console to have the list of the
last errors and warnings.

Whenever wiring, cabling, LED check is mentioned in the recommended actions, refer to the block
diagrams.

* Note to the 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 kind 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 Diagnostics

5.2.1 Heating without HV nor rotation diagnostic

Purpose:
The purpose of this test is to drive the heater inverter(s) on both filaments and the tube connected to the
Generator in order to identify a faulty heater FRU or a wrong connection between heater board, HV Tank and
tube.

Prerequisites:
- PPC kV control board alive and running : DS17 – DS24 Leds are lit successively or a combination of them
blink
- heater board alive and running : DS1 and DS2 Leds are lit successively
- heater DC supply present : DS3 Led is lit

Test type: No manual interaction with the use of the Diagnostic screen on system console

Sequence:
Start the diagnostic.
The following sequence runs on the small focus and then on the large focus :
- 5 seconds preheat
- 0,4s boost
- 5s heat ( focal spot max current - 1Amp )
There is 10s stop time between each focal spot run
During the test , the heater safeties are checked the same way than in application mode.

Error codes reporting:


If test fails, generator goes onto error state with associated error code. Refer to the troubleshooting table

5.2.2 Rotation without HV nor filament diagnostic

Purpose:
The purpose of this test is to drive the rotation inverter(s) in high speed mode (for application supporting high
speed mode ) and low speed mode on all the tubes connected to the Generator in order to identify a faulty
rotation FRU or a faulty dephasing capacitors FRU or a wrong connection between rotation board and tube.

Prerequisites:
- PPC kV control board alive and running : DS17 – DS24 Leds are lit successively or a combination of them
blink
- rotation board alive and running : DS5 Led blinking
- rotation DC supply present : DS7 neon is lit
- cabling between rotation board and tube checked

Test type: No manual operation on the generator is required for the test

Sequence:
Start the diagnostic.
The following sequence runs in low speed mode and then in high speed mode (if high speed mode allowed) :
- acceleration ( time depends on tube type )
- 2s run
- brake ( time depends on tube type )
There is 2s stop time between each speed mode.
During the test , the rotation safeties are checked the same way than in application mode

Error codes reporting :


If test fails, generator goes onto error state with associated error code. Refer to the troubleshooting table

5.2.3 Inverter gate command diagnostic

Purpose:
The purpose of this test is to verify that the HV power inverter drive is working properly. The IGBTs gate drive
supply and the IGBTs gate drive is verified. At the same time verification is made that no inverter currents nor
high voltage are measured. This test is performed without DC voltage applied to the inverter so that no Xray is
generated. Anode rotation and filament drive are not activated during this test.

Prerequisites:
- Generator input line in an acceptable range ( 380V-10% to 480V+10% for 3-phase AC input )
- PPC kV control board alive and running : DS17 – DS24 Leds are lit successively or a combination of them
blink
- Inverter gate_cmd board DC supply present : DS300 neon is lit

Test type: Manual operation is required.

Test 1 is OK if: 4 V < measured value < 6 V
This test is also performed at lower frequency count up:
Test 2 is OK if: 4 V < measured value < 6 V.
•= Switching Gain test (x10):
A voltage reference is switched to one input of the AEC select multiplex and count up gain is applied.
Nominal value of return voltage = 4.76 V
Test 3 is OK if: 4 V < measured value < 6 V.
•= AEC ion chamber HV power supply test:
A portion of HV power supply is switched to one input of the AEC select multiplex:
- No cell selected, Test 4 is OK if return voltage measurement is 0 V.
- Select respectively one of the three cells, left, right, middle.
