Tramline alarms: Illegal state, Stall

TroubleshootingHectare Mini firmware · 2.2.8

What to do when a tramline actuator of the Hectare Mini reports both end positions at once, does not reach its position, or when seed passes a line shut off for a tramline.

A tramline actuator shuts off the seed lines of the tramline on the bouts the rhythm asks for (Next tramline bout). The device line names it: Tramline actuator: #1.

“Illegal state”

What it means. The actuator reports both end positions at the same time — pulled in and pulled out. Its end position switches contradict each other.

What to check, in this order:

  1. The end position switches of the actuator and their wiring.
  2. Dirt or ice holding a switch.
  3. The actuator itself.

“Stall”

What it means. The actuator was told to move but has not reached the position asked for.

What to check, in this order:

  1. The shutter: blocked by seed, dirt or a bent part.
  2. The power supply of the actuator.
  3. The end position switch of the position asked for.
  4. The actuator itself.

On its status screen the actuator shows Status: “Pulled in”, “Pulled out”, “Working” while it moves, or “Unknown” — The sensor status screen.

“Seeding to tramline”

Raised by the seed sensor of a line that should be shut off. See Seeding alarms.
