LINK Systems System 2500 PLS - Manual (Page 18)

System 2500 Operating & Installation Manual - Revision 07 2-10
2.4.3.1 Counted Outputs, VIEW SETUP
When VIEW SETUP is selected from the Counted Outputs Menu, the operator will see a list of
the outputs which are tied to the counter. Also shown is the stroke count on which these outputs
will be active and the current stroke count of the machine. (Remember that this is a special
cycling counter and is NOT the same as the Part, Batch, Quality Check, or Total Stroke counters
of the System 2500. See Section 2.6 for information regarding these counters). This information
is important since outputs tied to the counter will NOT be active on every stroke. The operator
or maintenance personnel may need to know why a certain PLS output is not on during its
programmed on portion of the stroke. By viewing this screen the operator will know when the
counter-tied outputs will be active.
2.4.3.2 Counted Outputs, EDIT SETUP
In order to program the necessary information to use the Counted Outputs function, the operator
must select EDIT SETUP from the Counted Outputs Menu. Prior to doing this, the keyswitch
must be placed in the PROG position. If EDIT SETUP is selected with the keyswitch in another
position an error message will appear. After EDIT SETUP is selected, the operator will be asked
to enter a special access code to proceed. This is the same code that is required to enter the
Configure Menu (see Section 2.5). The code is printed on the back page of this manual. It is
suggested that this code be given to qualified users only. If the keyswitch is turned to a position
other than PROG while the Counted Outputs setup is being edited, the error message will appear
and the operator will have to re-enter the access code. Through the keyswitch and access code
protection any undesired changes to this special function of the PLS outputs are prevented.
Once the access code has been properly entered the display will contain all the information
required for the Counted Outputs function. The following will be displayed:
C CHANNELS - A list of the PLS output channels which are presently tied to the
counter.
C COUNT - The present stroke count of the machine (as pertains to this function).
When this count is the same as the ACTIVE COUNT, the PLS outputs listed
beside CHANNELS will be active for one stroke.
C ACTIVE COUNT - The stroke count at which the PLS outputs tied to the counter
will become active. On this stroke count the PLS outputs listed beside
CHANNELS will follow the on/off setpoints that have been programmed for each
output. Until the count is reached, these outputs will always be off.
C COUNT ANGLE - The crankshaft angle at which the counter will count up, i.e.
the place in the stroke where the COUNT value on this screen will change.
