NOTE 1: During runtime, the machine stop signal will become active if the
system encounters any of the errors selected as machine stop conditions. For
example, if you have identified
Foreign, Empty , and Missing as machine
stop conditions (as selected in Figure 8.2), the system will generate a
machine stop signal if it encounters foreign material in a blister, a totally
empty blister, a blister with one or more objects missing, or any combination
of those defects in any one blister.
NOTE 2: Because defects are detected in a specific priority order, with
Foreign having the first priority and Missing having the last priority, the
system will display only the highest priority defect if it finds two or more
different defects in one blister. However, the system will always create a
machine stop signal whenever any one of the selected error conditions
occurs, regardless of their detection priority.
NOTE 3: When the active pass function is enabled, the output line assigned
to the machine stop signal will be “on” as long as no machine stop errors are
encountered. The output line will turn “off” only when a machine stop error
occurs; thus, the “off” condition must be used as the machine stop signal to
the production equipment. (Refer to Active: Pass vs Active: Fail on page
8–5 for details.)
Machine Stop Output Assignments
You can specify an output assignment for a machine stop signal by selecting
System Setup → Envir/Cam → I/O → Output Assignment →
Set/Usage, selecting any unused output 1 through 14, and, on the
Set/Usage menu, selecting Machine Stop . Refer to Figure 8.3.
