LINK Systems LinkNet II - Manual (Page 96)

Note that the current DTC can be shown as “SP”. This signifies that an automatic DTC is in effect.
These automatic down time codes, such as “Press Idle” or “Part Count Reached”, are sent by the System
1100 under certain conditions without operator intervention. In all cases, automatically entered down
time codes are automatically cleared when the press makes another stroke.
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!
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.
10.3 Network Job Storage on the System 1100
By using LinkNet, virtually unlimited job memory is available. Jobs can still be stored and recalled
locally, (that is, in the System 1100 itself) 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.
NOTE: 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 10.1, or if
there is a wiring problem.
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!
