Chapter 4 - PROGRAMS
Overview
The program format used in the SERIES 9210 provides a simple but powerful recipe language for
controlling the heat-treat process. The SERIES 9210 can store up to 300 programs of twenty-four
steps each. Each step consists of an opcode that defines what is done at this step. The step can
also contain atmosphere, temperature, and option data.
This enhanced step approach provides for shorter programs. For example, a complete boost
/diffuse program can be done in twenty-four steps.
The programmer also has alarm capability that can be turned on during a program to monitor
deviations and high and low limits while the program is running.
Program Editing
The program edit display is accessed through the Menu key on the default display screen. Pressing
the Menu key displays a screen that contains the configuration items that the operator is allowed
to perform. On that screen, running down the right side are five buttons. Below the blue down
arrow key is the Login key. Pressing this key displays a numeric keypad that allows you to enter
the passcode to get to the configuration level
(default as shipped from SSi is the number 1).
Pressing the number 1 and then pressing the
Enter button displays the many configuration
menu options, the first option is Program Edit .
Highlighting this parameter and pressing the
Enter key displays a numeric keypad that asks
you to enter the number of the program that
you wish to edit. Pressing that recipe number
and then pressing Enter displays that particular
recipe. You may have to clear the recipe number
that is shown in the display box if the number of
the recipe to be edited was not the last recipe
run on the system. Press the Clr button on the
numeric keypad and then enter the number for
the recipe that you wish to edit.
To edit a step in the recipe, use the up and
down arrow keys to highlight the step that you wish to edit and press the Enter key. This will
display the Step
Edit screen.
Highlighting the
parameter that
you wish to edit
and pressing the
Enter key takes
you to the
appropriate menu
- either that of
the Opcode
choices, or a numeric keypad to allow you to change the value. Note: See Chapter 5 – SERIES
9210 Opcodes for a list of the opcodes .
