Hibernate and Demo Modes
Miscellaneous Machine Features
HMI Hibernate Mode
To help preserve the life of the HMI backlight, the HMI will enter a Hibernate mode after the machine has remained idle for an extended period of time.
To exit Hibernate mode, the user simply needs to activate a HMI key or the machine footswitch.
When in Hibernate mode, the HMI LCD backlight will be turned OFF, and the enter LED will blink at a slow duty cycle (1 part ON, 8 parts OFF).
If the machine performs a purge shot when the HMI is hibernating, the HMI will remain in Hibernate mode.
HMI Startup Animation Sequence
When power is applied to the machine, the electronics need time to initialize communication. An “Hour Glass” animation sequence is generated
(

, ….). Attempts to use the
machine during the startup period will be rejected.
HMI Demo Mode Operation
The machine HMI is equipped with a demonstration mode. When in “Demo Mode”, the HMI will not send any requests to the Fluid Control Module and the machine will not operate. The HMI will simulate normal operation and provide audio feedback to the user. All Demo Mode Maintenance and Calibration screens are identical to screens provided in normal mode operation.
Demo Mode can be used as a training tool for the user. The user simply has to connect the HMI unit to a separate power supply module, and the HMI will operate normally without the machine attached.
Any calibration, passwords, shot sizes, purge timer settings, or other miscellaneous settings entered while operating in Demo mode WILL NOT alter any normal mode settings. Also, the first time Demo mode is entered, all the calibration & maintenance screen setups previously described will need to be repeated.
To configure the HMI into and out of Demo Mode:
1.Temporarily remove power to the HMI.
2.
3.Immediately after the completion of the startup sequence (

, ….), press and hold the first soft key for at least 6 seconds.
If the press and hold does not start immediately after the animation sequence, or the press and hold is interrupted, the previous and this step may need to be repeated.
4.After 6 seconds, the HMI will generate a single tone and the Demo Mode ON or OFF state will be changed.
5.When in Demo Mode, a “D” will remain on the bottom

6.To switch the HMI out of Demo Mode, repeat the previous steps.
Limitations of Demo Mode Simulation
Even though Demo Mode provides a good training simulation for the user, it does have limitations when compared to the HMI operating in normal mode.
•On the Run screen, all the shot mode shots are simulated as single piston stroke shots regardless of the shot size and calibration numbers entered.
•The run screen animation sequence of the piston movement is not as gradual as in real operation.
•On the Run screen, during Operator mode operation, a stalled piston condition is not simulated.
•The piston cycle counter is not stored for use after power interruption, so if power is cycled to the HMI, the cycle count will be reset.
•The piston position numbers provided on the C1 screen are simulated.
•All error codes will be NOT be generated, except a stuck key error (E11) if the condition exists.
