2.5.1 Brief description
All of the machine’s functions are electronically
controlled. Using the operator panel, the operators,
calibration technicians, or service personnel have
several options for adapting the machine's functions to
current requirements.
The LED indicator gives the operator feedback mes-
sages regarding the current operating state of the ma-
chine. Error messages or warning messages appear on
the display as necessary.
Before each operation, the operator must check and
adjust the occasionally changing settings such as the
label position on the product or the dispensing speed.
These settings can simply be input at any time by the
operator at the operator panel.
Task-specific data such as label distance or product
length are programmed at the beginning of a job. As a
rule, the settings are not modified as long as the job is
being processed. This data input requires in-depth
knowledge and may only be carried out by trained and
instructed personnel (calibration technicians).
Databanks are available for variable or frequently re-
curring task settings. The task-specific settings can be
saved in a databank. If the settings are needed again
after a product change, it is not necessary to re-input
the data. You only need to call up the corresponding
databank. In all, 11 databanks are available.
Only calibration technicians may administer the product
databanks.
It is also possible to modify the basic machine settings.
These are settings such as the motor’s direction of ro-
tation. These settings are not to be changed in normal
operation. They may only be changed by servicing per-
sonnel or the customer service.
To give the operator a better overview, the setting op-
tions for occasionally changing settings, task-specific
data, databanks, and basic settings are grouped to-
gether in menus: The standard menu, extended menu,
product databanks, and configuration menu. The fol-
lowing table provides an overview of the range of func-
tions of the standard menu, extended menu, and
product databanks. The configuration menu is de-
scribed in the service guide.
CAUTION!
Erroneous settings can lead to production
setbacks, damage to the machine and sys-
tem, and can even cause work-related acci-
dents!
– Only specially trained and instructed per-
sonnel may alter the settings in the ex-
tended menu or access the product
databanks.
