DISPENSE command, cont’d
The exact format of the output depends upon which PROM Version you have. The output
to the screen will look approximately like this.
PASSED: RIBBON DISPENSER TIE COUNT at checkpoint was 19 >17-3.
PASSED: RIBBON DISPENSER HEEL COUNT at checkpoint was 20 <18 +3.
In this example, the 19 in the first row means that the count was at 19 when the controller
checked to see whether the most recent cycle should be aborted. The 17 represents the
median value for the last 11 cycles. The -3 means that the Servo Tyer would abort any
packages, producing a count, which is 3 less than the median value.
In the second row, the 20 means that the count was 20 when the controller checked to
determine whether there appears to be a heel (or other foreign matter) inside the twist tie.
The 18 represents the median value for the last 11 cycles. The +3 means that we would
flag any packages, which are 3 more than the median value.
It should be understood that the median values may change slightly depending upon what
type of bag and product is being run.
(+) command
This command provides a "back door" way of getting access to the Servo Tyer controller
if the Servo Tyer will not successfully home or if you wish not to home the Servo Tyer.
This command causes the Servo Tyer to bypass the homing sequence that normally must
successfully complete before you can type commands. In particular, this command
permits you to perform inquiries (Such as the QUERY command and to view the contents
of the Trouble buffer).
Never attempt to run the Servo Tyer servo motors while the Servo Tyer is in this mode.
After completing your inquiries, you should always turn off power to the Main Enclosure
for a few seconds before continuing. This will reset the processor and assure safe
operation.
