Figure 4.3: Storing Job with Feed Off
If the feed is off unintentionally, the operator may
turn the feed ON and press the STORE SETUP
softkey again to re-initiate the transfer of feed
settings. If this job is to be performed without the
feed, the CONTIN softkey instructs the operator
terminal to ignore communication with the feed and
store all other information for this job. If this is
selected, zeros are stored for all feed parameters.
4.4 Job Recall
If configured, feed length, feed speed, and (for
certain feeds) feed acceleration are recalled with
each job and automatically transferred to the feed
controller. The OmniLink 5000 will then request
the feed settings from the controller and make
certain that it compares correctly with the values
transmitted. If the feed controller is turned OFF and
does not respond to the serially transmitted data, the
screen shown in figure 4.4 is presented.
Figure 4.4: Recalling Job with Feed Off
If the feed has been turned OFF unintentionally, the
operator may turn the feed ON and select the
RECALL SETUP softkey again to re-initiate a job
transfer. If this job does not require the feed, the
CONTIN softkey will ignore the feed parameters
and recall the other job information. If a job is
stored with the feed OFF (i.e. the CONTIN softkey
was used to store the job) and later recalled with the
feed ON, all feed settings are recalled as zeros.
