Machine Cycle Definition and Operation

There are 41 machine cycles which can be selected and run. Machine cycles can be modified or made “unavailable” by manually editing them in Modify Cycle Menu or by using the PDA to download a modified machine cycle into the control. Machine cycles cannot be deleted, but can be made “unavailable” so that they are not visible from the Cycle Menu. New machine cycles cannot be created, but existing machine cycles that have been edited to be “unavailable” may be re-edited to be available again.

Machine Cycle Operation

When a cycle is run, the control runs the cycle segment by segment and step by step in a sequence. The first segment can be programmed to “Off”, “Prewash”, “Wash” or “Rinse”. If the segment is programmed to “Off”, control skips to the next segment. If the segment is not programmed to “Off”, the first segment step (Reuse Fill step) is examined to see if it is programmed on. If the segment step is programmed on, it is executed and the next step follows until the segment is complete. Any segment steps programmed to “Off” are skipped.

Delayed Start Feature

The user can select a machine cycle to run at a later time. Refer to Delayed Start Menu Section.

Jog Feature UW150 Only

The user can use Jog Feature from the Cycle Menu in Idle Mode, while the machine door is open. When the control detects that the jog buttons are pressed, the control will wake up and start a five second sound, turn the beeper on and off for five seconds and then the motor will turn in reverse direction at a reduced speed.

WARNING

To avoid personal injury, do NOT reach into the basket while it is rotating. Keep all personnel at a safe distance from the machine while using the basket Jog Feature.

W641

At the start of a machine cycle, the control displays a Total Remaining Cycle time. This time is taken from the audit data for this cycle where there is stored an average time elapsed for the last three of these cycles that had been completed. The Total Remaining Cycle Time begins to count down as soon as the cycle is started. Since there will be differences between the average elapsed cycle time and the actual elapsed cycle time, the Total Remaining Cycle Time displayed is corrected at the start of the cycle’s final enabled step that has programmed time duration.

Rotation Sensor Equipped

Machines

On machines equipped with rotation sensors and a rotation sensor error has not occurred, the control monitors the rotation sensor. The control will never send a new motor output which would reverse the motor direction or force the motor to run at a lower speed if the rotation sensor input indicates that the machine basket is rotating. The control will wait for the rotation to stop before sending the motor command.

The Cycle Menu is the first menu displayed by the control at power-up. The Cycle Menu allows the user to select one of the 41 machine cycles. Machine cycles that are turned off will not be displayed in the Cycle Menu. As a default, the last run cycle will be displayed in the center, highlighted position. The factory default cycle will be Cycle01.
