HOME command
When the screen is displaying a prompt such as MOT>1, typing HOME causes the Servo
Tyer to begin a homing sequence. This can also be accomplished by holding the thread
button on the Control Panel for 5 seconds.
DISPENSE command
Every time that the Servo Tyer is triggered, the Servo Tyer controller counts the number
of pulses that it receives from the Bag Recognition System proximity switch. This pulse
count indicates how much ribbon has been dispensed during the tie cycle. The controller
compares the number of pulses for the latest package with the number of pulses for the
previous 10 packages. The controller then decides whether it should do one of the
following actions.
1. Abort the tie cycle because too little ribbon has been dispensed to indicate a proper
package, thereby preventing the Servo Tyer from dropping the ribbon.
Or
2. Complete the tie cycle
The controller also checks the count to determine if a heel (or anything else that would
produce an exceptionally long tie) has been detected in the twist tie area. If so, the alarm
is sounded three times and that package is not indicated by the Servo Tyer counter
output.
If this system is not working correctly, it will cause the Servo Tyer to abort ties or enunciate
heels incorrectly. You may see two packages tied together, because the tie was aborted
on the first package. To see the number of the dispense counts on the most recent
package, simply type: DISPENSE or this can be abbreviated as: DI
