Chapter 3 - PROGRAMS


Overview

The program format used in the SERIES 9200 provides a simple but powerful recipe language for

controlling the heat-treat process. The SERIES 9200 can store up to 300 programs of twelve 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 twelve 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 all personnel are 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 2). Entering the password and then pressing

the Enter button displays the many configuration

options; the first option is

Program Editing

. Highlighting

this parameter and pressing the Enter key displays a
numeric screen pad 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, using the up and down

arrow keys, highlight the step that you wish to edit and

press the Enter key.

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 time.

After making the change, press the Set button twice to

have the change take place. This returns you to the

Program Edit Screen. At this time you can choose to
save the program as the same number, or if you have

edited the program to save the program as a new recipe

number, make the choice at this time and press the

Save button. This is a quick way to make new recipes

using an already existing recipe and changing only those

steps that need to be changed.
Pressing the Cancel button on either display takes you

back to the Edit Screen without making any changes.
