Results and Outputs

Simple discrete outputs indicating that an error condition has occurred may
be an adequate response to some inspection failures in some inspection
situations. In blister inspection applications, however, several specific types
of error conditions may arise, and the occurrence of any one of them could
indicate that a serious problem has developed. These conditions must be
investigated or corrected before production can be allowed to continue.
The Color CVIM BLISTER-PAK option enables you to select from a number
of error conditions that will shut down the web if any such error conditions
arise. These are referred to as machine stop conditions, and they can be used
to generate a machine stop signal.
Use of the BLISTER-PAK option’s machine stop signal involves answering
two questions:
•
Exactly what errors constitute a machine stop condition?
•
To which of the 14 available discrete outputs should the machine stop
signal be directed?
The paragraphs below will help you implement a machine stop signal output.
Machine Stop Error Conditions
To select the error condition (or conditions) that will generate a machine stop
signal, select
Blister Setup → Configure → Machine Stop Conditions to
display the Error Conditions menu, as shown in Figure 8.2.

Selecting Machine Stop Error Conditions
The 10 choices listed on the Error Conditions menu correspond to the 10
error status codes generated by the Color CVIM BLISTER-PAK option (see
Table 8.B on page 8–2). You can select one of the listed error conditions, or
any combination of them, as a trigger for generating a machine stop signal.
