The Flight Deck iPads are not connecting to the HMI PC
Issue: Sometimes the Flight Deck iPads will not connect to the HMI PC and will show a few different errors such as 0x204 and 0x104.
Tommy Car Wash Systems used 2 different types of HMI PCs: A Rack mounted PC and a Mirco PC. Both of these PCs have the same function and will operate the same way.

On some Private Brands Car Washes, the HMI PC will be located in the Motor Control Cabinet.
