Troubleshooting High Voltage System

1) System Control Board LEDs
2) RHOST test points and LEDs
3) FRC Fuses and LEDs
4) Manual Exposure: Test High Voltage without the scanner
application:
5) No Load test, In case of ARCs
6) View Logs Info Column ( include Info in filter list ! )
7) CANSENDER Commands; RHOST_DEVEL_REQ.
8) CRX-500L Theory document Detailed generator information.

FRC LED’s and Fuses (explanations on top and front cover)

FRC LEDS
Note: Led 13 may be Note: F6, F7 are 3 AMP

frequently RED since in BR40, BR64 and Big

PHILIPS
Manual Exposure
• Test x-ray generation without the scanner application nor the IRS
• Allows manual specification of X-ray shot
9
PHILIPS
No Load Test
• To determine if source of arc is in tube or generator. Filament is disabled -> no mA, only kV
• Run with case A. tube connected or case B. tube disconnected from generators
1. If arc occurs in case A and not in case B: source of arcing was in tube
2. If arc only occurs in both cases A and B: source of arcing was in generator

PHILIPS
Example 1 : Reading Exposure Count, Arc Count, Filament

• CANSEND : send RHOST_DEVEL_REQ parameter 1010
1010 = Request Tube exposure data
• CANTRACE : read info in messages GANTRY_INFO_ERROR_BKST, or
• VIEWLOGS : shows the messages in the Info Column
12
PHILIPS
Example 2A : Readout with CANTRACE

CANSEND : send RHOST_DEVEL_REQ parameter 1161
1161 = request ALL generator registers
CANTRACE : read info in messages GANTRY_INFO_ERROR_BKST
BKST answers,
RHOST_DEVEL_REQ click on each
13
PHILIPS
Example 2B : Readout with Viewlogs

CANSEND : send RHOST_DEVEL_REQ parameter 1161
VIEWLOGS : shows the same messages in the Info Column
Add INFO to
the Filter
settings !!!
Fault Registers
CPM Registers
CPM registers: DVD – Training – Training Documents – XRay decoding

Tip: Make a snapshot (Snagit) from a known good status for reference
14
PHILIPS
Example 2C : Decode Generator Status Hex Codes

• Use xray decode.xls ( Incenter / DVD, Training documents )
• or use lookup table with additional info ( link in course schedule )
• Example:
Hex 9 =
Binair 1001

PHILIPS
Example 3A : Setting Grid Voltages
• CANSEND : RHOST_DEVEL_REQ 1150, 5 parameters

• CANTRACE : Here the request can also be seen after sending
16
PHILIPS
Example 3B : Reading Grid Voltages
• CANSEND : RHOST_DEVEL_REQ 1159

• CANTRACE : RHOST_DEVEL_ANS
• Not visible in viewlogs !

Error Log – ERROR_BLOB - GantryEalReportAns

GantryEalReportAns
provides information on
the system status of
system control boards.
i.e., Ghost, RHost, DMS,
Couch
You must select “Show

Error Log – ERROR_BLOB Series Load Structure

Series * Load Structure
is an outgoing message
that provides the system
control boards the with
all the parameters
necessary to run a scan
sequence
There is NO information
that is useful for
troubleshooting
