System Software
The system software is contained in a set of upgradable PROMs
that are mounted on the processor board. Some of the software
capabilities are:
• Multiple Container Types:
If you run different container types
on your production line, this feature allows you to switch
between types quickly, without having to reconfigure all
container parameters. Allows you to store container type
parameters for up to 20 different containers.
• Password Protection: Allows you to lock out access to system
control parameters, while allowing access to system status
information.
• Multiple Languages: Allows you to select the language used to
display all system information. The language choices
depend upon the language options you ordered with your
unit. Choices can include: English, Dutch, French, German,
Italian, Portuguese, or Spanish.
• Advanced Diagnostics: The FT-70 uses advanced diagnostics
software to identify system errors automatically. Diagnostic
routines are stored in the FT-70 CPU, which allows you to
troubleshoot problems quickly.
