There are three types of system messages: normal, warning, and error. They show with a green background, a yellow background, or with a red background on the status bar.
The status bar condition can be set to the most important system message type or switch to the current message condition on the screen.
Category | Condition | Message | Description | VOLVO Only Information |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Authorization | Error | No Valid License | The software license is not correct. This can lock some of the components. | |
Project | Error | No Project Loaded | No project file is selected. Select Files > Project and select the necessary project file. | |
Project | Error | Geoid Not Found | A geoid is selected in the project, but the related file is not in the data directory. Only applies with Projections. | |
GNSS | Error | GNSS Sensor Offline | The MC-X1 controller is not connected to the left and/or right GR-i3F. For Masted System, this only shows in one of these conditions:
| In 2D mode, it is a usual message. Volvo Excavator shows “GNSS Receiver not connected.” |
Project | Error | No Site Localization | There is no localization in the project, or the localization in the MC-X1 is not correct. Select File > Control and check. | Only shows in 3D mode. |
GNSS | Error | Waiting for Corrections | One or two of the GR-i3Fs has a standalone position, but does not have a float solution at this time. To get to a float solution, it is necessary for the GNSS to have correct RTK corrections. For the Left (Main) GNSS, it gets the corrections from the Base station. For the Right (Aux) GNSS, it gets the corrections from the Left (Main) GNSS. For Masted System, this only shows in one of these conditions:
| In 2D mode, it is a usual message. Volvo Excavator shows “RTK Float.” |
Sensor | Error | Body Sensor Offline | No data from the body IMU to the MC-X1. Related to CAN 1 - CAN Open. | Volvo Excavator shows “Slope Sensor not Connected." |
Sensor | Error | Boom Sensor Offline | No data from the boom IMU to the MC-X1. Related to CAN 1 - CAN Open. | Volvo Excavator shows "Slope Sensor not Connected." |
Sensor | Error | Second Boom Sensor Offline | No data from the second boom IMU to the MC-X1. Related to CAN 1 - CAN Open. | Volvo Excavator shows “Slope Sensor not Connected." |
Sensor | Error | Stick Sensor Offline | No data from the stick IMU to the MC-X1. Related to CAN 1 - CAN Open. | Volvo Excavator shows “Slope Sensor not Connected." |
Sensor | Error | Dogbone Sensor Offline | No data from the dogbone IMU to the MC-X1. Related to CAN 1 - CAN Open. | Volvo Excavator shows “Slope Sensor not Connected." |
Sensor | Error | Hitch Sensor Offline | No data from the hitch/bucket IMU to the MC-X1. Related to CAN 1 - CAN Open. | Volvo Excavator shows “Slope Sensor not Connected." |
Sensor | Error | Tilt Bucket Sensor Offline | No data from the tilt bucket IMU to the MC-X1. Related to CAN 1 - CAN Open. | Volvo Excavator shows “Slope Sensor not Connected." |
Sensor | Error | Invalid Heading Input | No GNSS heading for Volvo System. | In 2D mode, if the excavator is not working on a Dual Slope surface, then it is a warning. For example, the excavator is working in a 2D surface. If not, it is an error. |
Elevation Reference | Warning | No Active Surface | Active surface not selected. | |
Elevation Reference | Normal | Zero Compass | 2D Excavator Mode | |
Elevation Reference | Normal | Reference to Bucket/Laser | 2D Excavator Mode | |
Elevation Reference | Warning | Out of Design Area | Blade POI(s) out of the design. | |
General | Warning | Low Precision | This can occur when “Waiting for Corrections.” | In 2D mode, it is a normal message. |
General | Warning | Too Many Triangles | Only used for Volvo Active Control system when the design surface contains too many triangles and is not applicable for the active control function. | Only occurs when Active Control is enabled. |
Authorization | Warning | License Expires Soon | This occurs when the software license is about to expire. |
