To change the value of the scrap count, position the cursor on the scrap counter and select the CHANGE
SCRAP softkey. Then enter the new count using the numeric keypad. After the correct value is entered,
press the ENT key. If the scrap count is increased, the amount by which it is increased is subtracted from
the production counters. If the scrap count is decreased, the amount by which it is decreased is added to the
production counters.
To add a number of scrap parts to the scrap counter, position the cursor on the scrap counter and select the
ADD TO SCRAP softkey. Then enter the number to be added using the numeric keypad and press the ENT
key. The number entered is added to the scrap count and subtracted from the production counters.
To subtract a number of scrap parts from the scrap counter, position the cursor on the scrap counter and
select the SUBTRACT FROM SCRAP softkey. Then enter the number to be subtracted using the numeric
keypad and press the ENT key. The number entered is subtracted from the scrap count and added to the
production counters.
To increase the scrap counter count, press the INCREMENT SCRAP softkey. The value of the scrap
counter will increase by one. The current count value of all production counters with a current value greater
than zero and which are turned on, will decrease by one.
To decrease the scrap counter press the DECREMENT SCRAP softkey. The value of the scrap count will
decrease by one. The current count value of all production counters with a current value less that its limit
will increase by one.
The scrap rate is also displayed on the counter screen. The scrap rate is the calculated by dividing the scrap
count by the sum of the scrap count and the current order count. If the Order Counter is turned off, “N/A”
will be displayed for the scrap rate. This indicates that the scrap rate is not applicable, since a true value of
the order count is not available. It should be noted that if the user ignores the decimal point and the percent
symbol, the number displayed is the scrap rate in parts per million, ppm. For example, a scrap rate of .3984%
is equivalent to 3984 ppm.
Section 4.6.4 Configure Counters
As described in Section 4.6.1 counters can be configured on a job basis. The counter configuration menu
must be access with the key switch and by use of the current Configuration code. The Configuration code
is described in Section 5. The counter configuration information is stored with other job related information.
When a job is recalled this counter information is also recalled. It must be noted that other configuration
parameters as described in Section 5 and not job related parameters, but are machine related parameters. The
configuration parameters in Section 5 related to all jobs and are not changed when the job is changed.
Depressing the CONFIG COUNTER softkey from the Counters menu, Figure 4.14, will display the Enter
Configuration code box. Enter the correct code and depress the ENT (Enter) key. The Counter
Configuration menu, Figure 4.15, will be displayed.
