OPERATOR INPUT TERMINAL - PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE

STANDARD SOFTWARE

The intent of this section is to familiarize the operator with the program flow and what to
expect with every keypress. Each screen on the display will be reviewed with special
comments to help clarify what is being asked on the screen. The program flow is broken
down into 5 sections with the main menu being the home position. Reviewing the flow
chart in the back of this manual will help in understanding the sections.

SECTION 1 - F1=JOB ENTRY
SECTION 2 - F2=MANUAL MODE
SECTION 3 - F3= AUTOMATIC
SECTION 4 - F4=REVIEW JOB PARAMETERS
SECTION 5 - RAMP=AJDUST ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION

The first screen to be displayed on the operator terminal will look like this

RAPID-AIR CORPORATION

ROCKFORD, IL 61109
815-397-2578

After a few seconds, the display will clear and the following display will appear:

MODE SELECT F1=JOB#
F2=MAN F3=AUTO F4=REVIEW

SELECT F1=JOB #

The first step in programming the servo feed is to select a job number which will be used to
store the parameters the operator inputs or recall the parameters which have been
previously loaded into the servo controller program. When the operator selects the F1 on
the keypad, the screen will change to:

ENTER THE JOB NUMBER =XX
PRESS F4 KEY AFTER NUM ENTRY

The operator must enter a 2 digit number before proceeding to any other function. If the
job number the operator has entered has been previously stored in memory, or entering a
new job, the following display will appear:

JOB#-XXX F1=MANUALLY PROG
F2=FEED ADVISOR F4=EXIT
