Master Slave set up
Working with Master/Slave
Master/Slave capability is an enhancement that allows you to control up
to four LPAs from a
single CLARiTY operator interface. In Auto
Changeover mode, it is only possible to control two
LPA's from a single
CLARiTY Operator Interface.
Master/Slave Benefits
The master/slave usage results in the following benefits:
•
Simpler coding system: Simpler setup of multiple LPAs, easier to use
coding systems
•
Reduced LPA setup time: A single point of setup, reduces the setup
time
•
Reduced human errors: Only one entry of data rather than several
entries reduces the
possibility of setup mistakes by human error
•
Cost effective: A lower cost coding solution when multiple LPAs are
required to fulfil a coding
application through the use of the Slave
LPA without LCD.
•
Cost reduction and effective usage of space: All these things are
achieved without an
additional controller or PC on the production
line.
•
Reduced downtime: One unit will continue to run whilst consumables
are changed on another
•
Reduction in missed labels: One unit will continue to run whilst the
other unit is in fault or is
placed in OFFLINE mode
