Using the E-Stop Control
If something unusual occurs that requires immediate action, use an Emergency Stop (E-Stop) control to:
• Stop whatever setup operation or test you have in progress, and
• Remove hydraulic pressure from the station.
While using your system, always keep in mind where the E-Stop control is and what it does. The E-Stop
controls are located:
• On the control panel of the IOP (integrated operations platform)
• On the LUC (load unit control) module
Each E-Stop is a large red button on a yellow background. The E-stop switch stays activated until you
twist the knob as indicated by the arrows.
Resolving Error Conditions
Resolving interlock and error conditions is a normal part of operating an MTS Criterion System. You typically
identify and resolve these type conditions during setup and testing.
Identifying an Interlock Condition
When you launch the MTS TWX application and open a test, the test opens in an interlocked state by
design. To help you identify this error condition,the system lights the Interlock indicator in the main window,
and also writes a “Software Interlock” entry into the Message Log. An interlock condition can be identified
by red indicators in the Controller and Status panels.
