Symptoms

The valve terminal reports a cylinder stroke incomplete. A pneumatic cylinder is not reaching its end position.

Possible Causes

  • Insufficient air pressure to complete the stroke
  • Mechanical binding in the cylinder or load
  • Flow control valve restricting speed too much

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Step 1: Verify adequate air pressure at the cylinder
    Pressure meets the requirement
  2. Step 2: Inspect the cylinder and mechanism for binding
    Mechanism moves freely
  3. Step 3: Adjust the flow control valve for proper speed
    Cylinder reaches end position reliably

How to Reset

To reset: Restore proper cylinder operation, then clear the alarm.
