4.7 Nonstop
The nonstop function is used to superwise the nonstop labeling in a nonstop environment - it also
keeps track of the number of products between the Master- and the Slave-goodscanner to ensure a
perfect switching from Master to Slave and vice versa. The function is different for the Master and
Slave.
4.7.1 Nonstop display
The nonstop display is used to display the nonstop status. The major display in a nonstop configurati-
on is the display of the Master. The Master is the first Collamat in the product flow direction. It shows
the actual running settings of the master, the slave and of the nonstopcounter.
The Master shows the following display:
NONSTOP MASTER
GSC2-3: 1
Activ: MASTER
Change over [.]
The first line indicates a Master labeler
The second line shows the nonstop counter GSC2-3: whereas the value represents the amount of
goods between the goodscanner of the Master and the Slave
The thirt line indicates the status of the nonstop function. (Master or Slave active)
The fourth line shows the switch over key command (' ' key of the monitor keyboard). This key is
used to switch from the active labeler (Master) to the passive labeler (Slave)
The nonstopdisplay of the Slave is different to the display of the Master. Because GSC2-3 counting
is only done in the Master, the line GSC2-3 will not be shown in the Slave nonstopdisplay:
