3.6.4 Counting function
The counter function must be activated in CheckKon in the
menu [Window] [System parameters]: Z System Z Operating
modes Z Counter configuration ... z Counter mode =
activated.
The function “External sensor” will then automatically be
blocked.
Counter configuration Set the following parameters in CheckKon Z System Z Oper-
ating modes Z Counter configuration according to your
requirements:
z Nominal value specification = 1 (1 ... 200 million)
z Counting of all good parts in each orientation = on (off)
Setting the switch-off delay of the small parts conveyor
when the nominal number is reached Z Transporting systems
Z Supply system ... z Switch-off time when counter status is
reached = 30 s (0.1 s ... 1800 s).
Counting Depending on the setting in CheckKon, only good parts in
target orientation (counting of all good parts ... = off) or
good parts in all taught orientations (counting of all good
parts ... = on) will be counted.
If counting is interrupted, e.g. when the Start/Stop button is
pressed, the current counter states will remain saved. When
the device is started, counting is continued with the saved
counter states.
Note
When the CHB-C-X is switched off (operating voltage off),
counting will be interrupted. The current counter states
will be deleted. When the CHB-C-X is switched on, it starts
anewcountercycle.
• When the CHB-C-X is switched off, remo ve all good parts
from the parts output. Y ou will then avoid incorrect num-
bers of items when the CHB-C-X is switched on again.
