B&C Technologies M720 Dryer Control (DE, DP, DI Series) - Manual (Page 23)

• 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 counters per day information, it is important to ensure date and time are
programmed correctly. See Section 4.7.1 on page 33.
4.4.3 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 A
RROW U P and
A RROW D OWN 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 C LEAR key (S HIFT key and E NTER key
together). Password level 2 is necessary to be able to reset the total counters. If the C LEAR key is
pressed 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.
4.4.4 Non-resettable Counters
With the counter set Non-resettable counters, the user can see how many batches and running
hours the controller has done since it was installed. Also the maintenance request counter can be
viewed in this list (see machine parameter 5 and Section 4.7.4 on page 34).
With the A RROW U P and A RROW D OWN 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 Section 4.7.4 on page 34).
