FAM Case Packer – Error Troubleshooting Guide

**Error Code:** 05_T. OUT HEAD OR ENCODER

**Root Cause:** The machine cannot detect motion or position from the output head or its
encoder.

Step 1: Ensure Machine is in Safe State


- STOP the machine.

- Switch off power if needed for electrical checks.

- Ensure all safety interlocks are in place before working inside.

Step 2: Mechanical Check – Transfer Out Head


Checkpoint Action

Physical blockage Check if any bottle, carton, or object is


blocking the transfer head.

Manual movement Try to move the transfer head manually (if


safe) to ensure it's not stuck.

Pneumatic or mechanical failure If pneumatic, confirm the air pressure and


cylinders are working properly.

Step 3: Encoder Inspection


Checkpoint Action

Encoder cable Trace the cable from encoder to control


panel. Reseat all connectors.

Visual damage Check for cracks, loose shaft coupling,


oil/dust on the encoder.

Alignment Ensure encoder is properly aligned with


the motor shaft or mechanism.

Step 4: Signal Verification


If available:

- Go to diagnostic screen on HMI and check for encoder signal status.


- Use a multimeter or oscilloscope to check for pulsed voltage output when rotating the
shaft.
- Typical encoder output: 5V square pulses or 24V depending on type.

Step 5: Motor & Drive Check


Checkpoint Action

Servo/Stepper motor Ensure the motor connected to the out


head is not jammed.

Drive alarms Check for drive faults on control panel or


drive itself. Reset if needed.

Step 6: Reset and Test


After fixing the issue:

1. Turn the machine OFF and ON.

2. Clear the alarm from the HMI (ESC or Reset).

3. Run a test cycle without product.

4. Monitor for any new warnings or recurrences.

Optional: Report Log Sheet


Time Error Appeared Action Taken Result Next Step

Contact Support If:


- Encoder shows no signal but wiring and drive are okay.

- Error recurs even after replacing encoder or fixing mechanical issues.

- PLC I/O or encoder read module may be faulty (requires OEM check).
