OPERATION
4.1 Overview
The SL-V series utilizes a programmable logic controller (PLC) to provide comprehensive fault
detection and troubleshooting logic. The operator functions and warnings offer a comprehensive
view of operating conditions, impending faults, shutdown faults and suggested remedies.
Remote monitoring of the PLC is available as an option. A modem interface allows KMT
Waterjet to access to the machine’s PLC program. The KMT Customer Service Department can
perform real time diagnostics, remote troubleshooting, data analysis and software updates.
The operator interface is through a touch sensitive control display where operating parameters are
set and monitored. Optional proportional pressure control allows the operator to select or vary
the operating pressure from the control display or from a remote console. When the machine is
equipped with an optional pressure transducer the operating pressure can be viewed from the
display. Analog modules for the PLC are required to operate both of these options.
Figure 4-1 identifies the control panel components and functions.
