Troubleshooting Krones Filler Height Adjustment for Beer Bowl - Help Needed!

Question:

Hey there! I recently started my journey in a brewery and I've encountered a hiccup with the krones filler height adjustment system for the beer bowl. The machine is indicating an issue with the distance between the bowl and the centering bell cam being too small. Despite ensuring that both the cam and the bowl are in their correct positions, I attempted to adjust the probe (4 to 20 mA) on its own. However, the height only increased from 0 to 563 instead of the desired 0 to 1658. Even after swapping out the probe, the replacement behaved in the same manner. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch!

If you are experiencing a scaling issue similar to what occurred in the S7 model, where your measured value (ranging from 0 to 27xxx) needs to be scaled by FC105 to a value ranging from 0 to 1658, such as for determining height.

The analog input card could potentially be faulty.

Thank you to everyone for your help. It turns out that the analog input card was faulty. I realize I still have much to learn in this field!

I have recently begun working in a factory production facility at CSDI, operating a filler machine. I am seeking assistance with using the manual product touchscreen interface. Can anyone offer guidance on navigating this feature effectively?
