zeroing threshold. The most accurate counts can be obtained when
the System 1100 is used with the optional zeroing cam (sections
2.8.5 and 3.5.2).
The Counters menu is shown below.
2.6.1 PART, BATCH, and QUALITY COUNTERS
The Part, Batch, and Quality counters have presettable limits.
These counters can be programmed to stop the production process
after a specified number of parts have been made. Only good parts
are counted, that is, parts whose forward tonnage is between the
high and low setpoints, and whose reverse tonnage is less than the
reverse setpoint. These counters operate in this way regardless of
BYPASS mode, or low or reverse limits being turned off.
For installations where the System 1100 stop circuit is connected
to the emergency stop of the press control, the System 1100
provides a top-stop delay timer (section 2.8.9). This timer is
capable of providing delays from 0 to 1 seconds to stop the machine
with the ram at the top of the stroke when a counter limit is
reached.
The Part counter is intended to count the total number of parts in
a run. The Batch counter is intended to count the number of parts
per batch. This counter is useful if part bins must be changed
several times during a part run. The Quality counter is used to
stop the production process at regular intervals for the operator
to perform part quality inspections.
The Part, Batch, and Quality counters all operate similarly and so
the examples discussed below apply to all of these counters. An
example Batch counter screen is shown below.
