System 2500 Operating & Installation Manual - Revision 07 2-24
After the name has been keyed in, the operator must press the ENTER key. The System 2500
will then ask the operator to verify that he wishes to store the current setup using the name
displayed. By pressing the STORE key, a copy of the current setup will then be stored in backup
memory. Note that the current setup is not affected by the store operation, and that the PLS and
die protection information previously entered will still be in effect. After the store operation the
Store/Recall Menu will be displayed.
NOTE: Although setups are stored in the System 2500 PLS the operator is encouraged to
keep written records of stored setups. These records will be useful to recover setups
accidently lost by operator error or in the event of memory failure within the System 2500
PLS.
2.7.1.3 Memory Limits
The System 2500 PLS has memory capacity for one hundred setups to be stored. If the operator
attempts to store a setup after the backup memory is filled, the system will ask if he wishes to
store over a setup that is already in backup memory. If so, the operator may proceed by pressing
the YES key. The system will then allow the operator to store the current setup over the last
setup stored (the one indicated by the LAST NAME USED display) or to enter the name of a
different setup which is to be written over. In either case when the store operation is carried
through the old setup is lost from memory and the current setup takes its place.
2.7.2 RECALL
If the operator desires to recall a previously stored setup, he must select RECALL from the
Store/Recall Menu. Upon choosing RECALL, the display will indicate how many setups are
presently stored in backup memory. If no setups are stored, the display will indicate this and
obviously no setup can be recalled. If one or more setups are stored the operator must choose a
setup name for recall in one of two ways to be described later. Once the desired setup has been
chosen, the RECALL key is pressed and that setup in backup memory is copied over the current
setup.
An illustration is shown in Figure 4. Prior to the recall operation (left side of figure) there are
four setups in backup memory that have been previously stored. Each of these setups has
different PLS and Die-Prot information, and each has been given a name (shown at the top of
each page). The current setup now being run is called 'BRACKET2'. A change in jobs requires
that the System 2500 now run with PLS setpoints that are stored in the setup '06-21-90'. The
operator then selects setup name '06-21-90' from backup memory and presses the RECALL key,
and the information in '06-21-90' is copied into the current setup. The current setup name now
displayed on the Store/Recall Menu is '06-21-90' to remind the operator of which setup
information the System 2500 is using for operation. Note that the setup in backup memory is not
erased after the recall operation; it has only been copied into current memory.
