6.5 Nonstop mode
The Nonstop mode function allows continuous labelling with two labellers. The dispensers are con-
nected together and exchange signals. There is a difference between the two dispensers. The first
labeller in feed direction is the MASTER labeller and controls the second labeller called SLAVE la-
beller. When selecting the nonstop mode the labeller has to be defined as MASTER or SLAVE with
up or down key:
NONSTOPMODE
Function : MASTER
Now to the Error handling in a nonstop-configuration:
a WARNING at one of the two labelers will normally activate a switch-over from the faulty active
labeler to the passive labeler. The supervision of the correct switching time is always managed by
the Master. The controlsignal relais output NOK of the faulty active labeler will switch to ON
a ERROR at one of the two labelers will normally activate a switch-over from the faulty active la-
beler to the passive labeler. The supervision of the correct switching time is always managed by
the Master. The faulty labeler will stop (red LED on) immediately. The controlsignals ERROR and
NOK will switch to ON
If the master-labeler runs into problems (ERROR), the slave-labeler is still able to complete the re-
maining job
If the slave-labeler has a problem (ERROR), the conveyor has to be stopped, because products
between the master and the slave will stay clear (no label on it)! - except while using the dot-com-
mand to switch from slave to master (enforce mastercontrol). The controlsignals ERROR and
NOK will switch to ON to indicate the corresponding ERROR- and NOK-conditions
