Open Fault

AI Summary

The PLC expected part presence at V1 K18 tool WR1UQ51, but BG31 did not confirm the part. Verify HMI tool screen, part seating, sensor detection, cable, and I/O block before escalating PLC logic.

  • HMI area: =2V06+V1UC32.
  • Tool: V1WR1UQ51.
  • Sensor: BG31.

Likely Root Cause

Most likely: part not seated properly, dirty/misaligned BG31 sensor, damaged sensor, loose M12 cable, incorrect I/O block port, or drawing revision mismatch.

Confidence: 87% based on similar solved cases and technician notes.

Step That Usually Solves This

Step 5: If the part is seated correctly, adjust the sensor to detect the part more reliably.

Historically effective for presence faults and nuisance triggers.

Guided Steps

The system shows one step at a time. The full procedure is shown as bulletpoints only for context.

AI can reorder the step sequence based on the current fault pattern, historical solved cases, technician notes, repeat count, safety level, and which step usually solved similar issues. This means Step 1 is the most likely safe starting point for this specific issue, not necessarily the original manual order.

    CAD upload logic

    When uploading a model, the admin should choose the related PLC, unit, part/sensor tags, CAD format, revision, and whether the file is a full unit model, component-only model, clickable marker layer, or drawing overlay. This allows the guided-fix page to open the exact model position for the current fault.

    Unit-Specific Debug Steps

    Admin can view, add, edit, or delete troubleshooting procedures linked to unit, sensor, fault family, trigger pattern, and CAD mapping.

    AI Continuous Learning Loop

    The system improves recommendations from historical cases, technician notes, uploaded images, marked solution steps, and fault recurrence data.

    1. Detect Fault

    Read PLC fault, tag, severity, count, cell, and timestamp.

    2. Match History

    Find similar fault codes, devices, unit zones, and solved cases.

    3. Guide Technician

    Show ordered steps, root cause, and 3D component preview.

    4. Capture Resolution

    Save selected solution step, notes, images, and time-to-resolve.

    5. Improve Ranking

    Promote steps that solved similar faults and demote unsuccessful paths.

    Learning Rules

    Logical safeguards for industrial reliability.

    • AI suggestions are advisory; technician confirmation is required before closing a fault.
    • Solution ranking is based on same unit zone, tag similarity, code, severity, and confirmed resolution.
    • Uploaded images are linked to the case as evidence and can be reviewed by maintenance leads.
    • Unsafe actions are never suggested before lockout/tagout and basic electrical/safety checks.
    • New central machines, units, sensors, CAD mappings, and debug steps are governed from the administration tabs.

    Central Machines

    Manage every central machine/log source, its connection, log intake rules, plant area, security zone, and unit mapping. The central machine is connected to PLCs, but Alfa-Debug reads fault logs from the central machine instead of connecting directly to PLC data.
