or other problems related to just that channel.
c) Low Limit Value - The low tonnage limit setting for this channel and view (peak, data
window 1, data window 2, etc).
d) Graphical Limit Bar - This is a floating bar graph that graphically indicates where the
tonnage for a channel is relative to the low and high setpoints for
that channel. The bottom of the graph is the low limit and the top
of the graph is the high limit. A tonnage that is halfway between
the low and high limits will show a green bar in the middle of the
graph. If the tonnage were to start going up towards the high limit
(perhaps due to material thickness variation), the bar would also go
up and would first turn yellow, and then red as it approached the
high limit. Likewise, if the tonnage started to go down towards the
low limit, the bar would go down and first turn yellow, and then
red as it approached the low limit.
e) Tonnage Reading - The numeric tonnage reading for this channel and view. In the
example screen of Figure 4.2, this is the peak forward tonnage for
channel 1.
f) High Limit Value - The high tonnage limit setting for this channel and view (peak,
data window 1, data window 2, etc).
g) Tonnage Direction - This indicates whether forward or reverse tonnage is being viewed
(Note that data windows do not have reverse tonnage associated
with them).
h) View - This line indicates which tonnages and settings are being viewed -
Peak, Data Window 1, Data Window 2, Data Window 3, or Data
Window 4.
i) Channel Rating Graph - This bar graph shows the percent of channel rating that the tonnage
represents. It will be green to 100% channel rating, yellow from
100% to 125% channel rating, and red from 125% to 150%
channel rating. For example, a 400 ton 4 channel machine would
have a 100 ton channel rating. For this case, If a channel read 100
tons then the graph would be all green up to about 2/3 of the graph.
If the channel read 110 tons, then a little yellow would show above
the green. If the channel read 130 tons, There would be red above
the yellow. In general, this graph should always be kept in the
green.
j) Total Tonnage Reading - This is numeric value for the total tonnage.
