may ask for a password. Password level 1 is necessary to be able to reset the counters of a program.
If the clear button is pushed and the password level is sufficient, all counters of this program will be
set to 0.
6.3.2 Counters per day
With the counter set ‘Counters per day’, the user can read how many batches and how many
operating minutes have been done on a certain day. The controller saves the production data of the
last 50 days the machine has been used. After 50 days, the oldest record will be deleted and
replaced by a record of the current date.
If, in the ‘Counter menu’ the item ‘Counters per day’ is chosen, the counters of the current
day will be displayed. On the 1
st
line, the date can be seen in DD-MM-YYYY format. With the
PLUS and MINUS buttons, the counters of the next and previous day can be viewed. With the
ARROW UP and ARROW DOWN buttons, one can scroll through the available counters per day.
In this case there are 2 different counters:
Number of batches The number of batches processed this day
Running minutes The number of minutes a program cycle has been active this day.
It is not possible to reset the day counters. This is also not necessary since a new counter
record will start from 0 automatically every day.
To be able to use the information of the ‘counters per day’, it is important to ensure date and
time is adjusted correctly. See chapter 6.6.1.
6.3.3 Counters in total
With the counter set ‘Counters in total’, the user can see how many batches and how many
hours the machine has run in total, so not depending on the day or the program. Selecting the item
‘Counters in total’ from the counter menu will display the total counters. With the ARROW UP and
ARROW DOWN buttons one can scroll through the available total counters. In this case there are 2
different counters:
Number of batches The number of batches processed in total since the last reset.
Running hours The number of hours the machine has been running since the last reset.
Resetting the total counters can be done by pushing the CLEAR button (SHIFT button and
ENTER button). Password level 2 is necessary to be able to reset the total counters. If the clear
button is pushed and the password level is not sufficient, the controller will first ask for a password.
If the password level is sufficient, all total counters will be set to 0.
6.3.4 Non-reset table counters
With the counter set ‘Non-reset table counters’, the user can see how many batches and
running hours the controller has done since it was fabricated. Also the maintenance request counter
can be viewed in this list (see machine parameter 5 and chapter 6.6.4).
With the ARROW UP and ARROW DOWN buttons, one can scroll through the available
counters. . In this case there are 3 different counters:
Number of batches The number of batches processed in total since fabrication.
Running hours The number of hours the machine has been running since fabrication.
Maintenance cycles The number of batches still to do until a maintenance request will be done
(see also machine parameter 5 and chapter 6.6.4).
