MDC-370 DEPOSITION CONTROLLER

4.3.3.4 PROGRAM ACTIONS

The MDC-370 provides for 16 internal user programmable actions. Internal
actions are used to provide special functions at the true evaluation of a condition
string. These functions may be such things as terminating a deposit on an input
from an optical monitor. Or, sounding an alarm when certain events are true.

To program an action, first select the desired action from the list of 16
programmable actions displayed in the Actions screen.



Once you have selected the required action, pressing the Right-arrow key will
present the screen which permits programming of the action details, and this
procedure is similar to the one used for programming discrete outputs.


In this screen you select the predefined action you would like to take and the
associated conditions. To specify an action, move the markers onto the action
name field and press the Right-arrow key. This will present the Select Defined
Action screen.
