Additional functions in the standard menu

Depending on which parameter has been defined under APPL different menu functions are shown in the standard menu. If an applicator is used additional times BLOW and STAD for controlling the applicator cycling are available.

Input and sensor check____________________________________________ I_CH

To display the status of sensor’s and inputs information are grouped in 3 blocks you can select by pressing the NEXT or PRIOR keys. The character for the inactive state is different to identify the various blocks.

Block 1	(inactive = 0)
	N =	Power fail detection (only can case of malfunction)
	P =	Product sensor active
	A =	Signal from APSF sensor
	R =	Ready input stepper motor control
Block 2	(inactive = -)

I = Inhibit input active

L =	Unused input (Loop control on ALX 720)
H =	Applicator home switch active
E =	Applicator end switch active
Z =	Horizontal home switch
Block 3 (inactive = .)
S =	pressure switch activated
J =	Jumper 3 closed
O =	OD control material active
M =	Label sensor on material
G =	Label sensor on gap

For a correct label sensor information CONT has to be adjusted before. Leave the function by pressing key ENTER.

Output check ___________________________________________________ O_CH

With the NEXT and PRIOR keys you can select the output you will switch on for testing. Leave the function by pressing key ENTER.

On selecting the O_CH function the display shows "1" and the first output is active. Using the up-arrow and down-arrow keys the user can select any one of outputs 1 to 8. Only one output is on at a time so that the user can easily see if he has any shorted connections (any output that is being turned on by another part of the program such as an error or ODC output will stay on until the error or ODC input is cleared).

1 = terminal 15 = BLOWON

2 = terminal 16 = AIRSTREAM

3 = terminal 17 = CYLINDER

4= terminal 18 = PRINT_OUT

5= terminal 19 = WARNING
