{ Axis Bypass Function
When a PLC Bypass input signal is activated or when the RUN/BYPASS switch on the
front panel is switched to the Bypass position, the Bypass output signal is activated. In
this condition, the system will not START, REVERSE, CAL OR RESET. The SYNC
signal will be bypassed to avoid affecting synchronized operations. When the Axis unit
is in the bypass mode, the "Bypass" LED on the front panel of the Axis unit will blink.
{ Tool Type Check Function
The AFC-1100 tools have an EEPROM in the preamplifier that contains the tool data.
The tool type data is also contained in the Axis unit. The Tool type check function reads
the information of the tool EEPROM and compares it to the information of the Axis unit;
any mismatch is reported as a Tool Type error.
The tool type check is performed during the following times:
1)
When the equipment is powered on.
2)
When preset data is downloaded from a user console to the Axis unit.
3)
When the fastening cycle starts.
