MTS Series 793 - Manual (Page 318)

Note:
Unlike other interlocks, there are no user-defined actions that will cause a gate interlock. Also, a gate
interlock cannot be overridden.
If the hwi file does not enable gate interlocks, the J29 input is used for the program stop interlock.
Gate interlock actions
A gate interlock results in the following actions:
• A Program Stop interlock occurs.
• The controller holds the integrator on all active control modes and during mode switching.
• The Station Manager application logs a message.
• The Station Manager Gate interlock indicator turns on.
How to Reset a Gate Interlock
A gate interlock cannot be overridden.
1. Clear the gate interlock input on J29.
Depending on your system, this could involve switching the load frame actuator speed from Slow to Fast
mode, or closing a test area enclosure door.
The controller continues to hold the integrator.
2. Press Reset to clear the interlock and resume integrator operation.
The Gate indicator turns off.
About C-Stop Interlock
This option is available to users with Configuration access level only. The C-Stop (Controlled stop) interlock
allows an operator to perform a controlled stop regardless of the state of the Function Generator.
You can define multiple discrete C-Stop interlocks, which enable the corresponding control buttons to function
on the Station Controls panel in the Station Manager application.
