must be configured to have access to change counter settings.
To increase or decrease the current count value by one, select the counter and depress either the
INCREMENT or DECREMENT softkey. To select a counter, use the arrow keys to position the cursor on
the counter that is to be changed. The cursor can be either in the COUNT column or in the LIMIT column.
Once the cursor is positioned on the counter to be changed, depress the INCREMENT key to increase the
count by one or the DECREMENT key to decrease the count by one.
Section 4.6.1.5 Production Counters Change Count
The current count value of a production counter by be changed. The user must obtain access control in order
to change a current count value. Access control is described in Section 3. If the user obtains access control
by using the password system, the user must be configured to have access to change counter settings.
To change a current count value, select the counter, depress the CHANGE COUNT softkey, and enter the
new value. To select a counter, use the arrow keys to position the cursor on the count value that is to be
changed. Once the cursor is positioned on the count value to be changed, press the CHANGE COUNT
softkey. Then enter the new count using the numeric keypad. After the correct limit is entered, press the
ENT key.
Section 4.6.2 Stroke Counter
The stroke counter increments anytime the crankshaft travels from the top of the stroke to the bottom of the
stroke. This counter increments in all press operating modes, unlike the production counters that increment
in production modes; Single Stroke, Continuous, Automatic Single Stroke, Continuous on Demand or
Maintained Continuous modes, only. The stroke counter is reset from the press control configuration menu.
Section 4.6.3 Scrap Counter, Scrap Rate
The scrap counter is used to keep track of the number of scrap parts that have been produced. This counter
is automatically increased when the tonnage monitor registers an out of limit hit. It may be changed, added
to, subtracted from, increased by one, or decreased by one manually. When the scrap counter is manually
increased by a count, all production counters are automatically decreased by the same count. When the scrap
counter is manually decreased by a count, all production counters are automatically increased by the same
count.
Note:
The total number of parts in the system is constant. If there are 1000 parts in the order count and 100 parts
in the scrap count, there is a total of 1100 parts in the system. Changing the scrap count to 500, will result
in the order count being changed to 600. Since there are only 1100 parts in the system, the scrap count
cannot be changed to a value greater than 1100.
The user must obtain access control in order to change the value of the scrap counter, add to or subtract from
the scrap counter. Access control is not required to increment the scrap count by one or decrement the scrap
count by one. Access control is described in Section 3. If the user obtains access control by using the
password system, the user must be configured to have access to change counter settings.
