Section 7.6.1 Reset All Channels Configuration
There are two options to Reset Configuration. These options define the number of channels that are
reset when the RESET ERROR softkey is pressed. The options are that only the channels that are
visible on the screen are reset when the RESET ERROR softkey is selected or that all channels are reset
when the RESET ERROR softkey is selected. The Limit Switch screen shows eight channels at a time.
If this option is set to No, only the eight channels visible on the screen will be reset when the RESET
ERROR softkey is selected. If channels that are not visible on the screen are also in an error condition,
they will not be reset. To reset the other faulted channels, the user will have to page through to the
screen(s) that show the other faulted channels. Once the other faulted channels are visible, the RESET
ERROR softkey will reset them. If this option is set to Yes, then the RESET ERROR softkey will reset
all channels even if they are not currently displayed on the screen.
The suggested setting of this configuration parameter is No. When set to No, only the channels on the
screen will be reset. The operator will have to page through to all screens that contain faulted channels
to reset them. This will force the operator to at least view all pages that contain faulted channels.
Section 7.6.2 Allow Speed advanced Outputs
This configuration parameter will allow or disallow the use of speed advance outputs. A speed advance
output can have its leading or trailing edge advanced based upon machine speed. This feature allow for
a PLS to change the turn on of turn off angle so that the event triggered by the PLS channel occurs at the
desired angular position independent of machine speed.
If this feature is wanted, set the parameter to Yes. If this parameter is not wanted, set this parameter to
No.
Section 7.6.3 Restricted/Unrestricted PLS Channels
The RESTRICTED UNRESTRICTED softkey on the PLS System Configuration screen can be used to
display the PLS Restricted screen. This screen allows for selected channels of the programmable limit
switch to be restricted. When a channel is restricted, it can be viewed but not changed by the operator,
and it will not be affected by job recalls. Once a channel is restricted, it will retain all settings that were
programmed when the channel was set to restricted. The channel setting cannot be changed while
restricted. If a job is recalled the restricted channel setting will not change, even if the restricted
channel’s settings are different in the recalled job. The user has the option to restrict or unrestrict any
channel. In order to make changes to a restricted channel; the restriction must be removed, the change
entered, and then again set the channel to restricted.
Section 7.7 Operation
The Programmable Limit Switch screen is shown in Figure 7.6. Various items of this screen are
referenced to sections of this manual.
