LINK Systems LinkNet I - Manual (Page 38)

LinkNet
7.2
manual rev 2.1 March 25, 1999
When a user entered DTC (not an automatic
DTC) is active, the bar graphs beside each
channel blink on and off to remind the operator
that the DTC is in effect. In addition, the
production counters (part, batch, and quality)
do NOT count and average tonnage is not
collected since the machine is not considered to
be in production! Note that the “NETWORK” menu will not
appear if LinkNet is not running, if the System
1100 has been not been properly configured as
explained in section 7.1, or if there is a wiring
problem!
If the network is not active, the message
“WAITING FOR NETWORK - HIT EXIT
TO CANCEL” will appear on the screen. A
successful store will result in the message
“JOB STORAGE DONE - PRESS EXIT”.
To enter a DTC:
@
Go to the DTC screen if not already there by
pressing the “DOWN TIME CODE” key.
@
Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll
through the list of available DTCs and hit the
“Enter” key when the screen shows the desired
DTC.
@
Note that it is not necessary to clear a DTC
before entering a new one.
@
The “EXIT” key will cause the System 1100 to
return to the screen it was in before the “DOWN
TIME CODE” key was pressed.
To clear a DTC:
@
Go to the DTC screen if not already there by
pressing the “DOWN TIME CODE” key.
@
Either select “Production” (DTC 0) or hit the
“CLEAR” key.
7.3 Network Job Storage on the System 1100
By using LinkNet, virtually unlimited job
memory is available. Jobs can still be stored and
recalled locally (in the System 1100) as they always
have. When LinkNet is active, a new top level menu
(the menu that is active when the 1100 is first
powered up) called “NETWORK” becomes
available.
IMPORTANT: Jobs stored or recalled under
the “STO/RCL” menu are stored or recalled
locally - not on the network. Likewise, jobs
stored under the “NETWORK” menu are
stored on the network - not locally. The same
job number and description can be stored both
locally and on the network but with different
setpoints. Use care to recall or store the job
from or to its intended location!
To store a job:
@
From the top level menu (the top level menu can
be reached by hitting the “EXIT” key until the
menu does not change), use the up and down
arrow keys to select “NETWORK” and hit the
“ENTER” key.
@
Use the up and down arrow keys to select
“STORE JOB” and hit the “ENTER” key.
@
A prompt will appear for confirmation to store
the current job on the network. Hit the “YES”
key to store the job or the “NO” key to abort.
Note that this is the current job. To change the
job number or job description, go into the
“STO/RCL” menu and change them the same
way as for a local store operation (See System
1100 manual for details).
