3.5 Counters
Touch the Counter display area in the Main Screen
(see “b” in Figure 8 on page 21) to go to the counter
screen.
The System 2600 can support 1 or 2 counter
groups. A counter group includes a part counter, a
batch (or bin) counter, and a scrap counter. The
first counter group also has a quality counter, which
is intended to allow the machine to stop every so
many cycles for a quality check.
The present quantities of the part counter, batch
counter, quality counter, scrap counter, and cycle
counter can be viewed along with the limits of
those counters that have them.
If counters are configured for unrestricted access, anyone can change the counters and reset them. If
configured for access control (described in section 3.1.7 on page 14), operators must use the selected
access control method to make changes.
If only one counter group is enabled, which is
typical, then the Counter screen shown in Figure 37
is what will initially appear. If 2 counter groups are
enabled, then initially the screen shown in Figure
38 will appear. This will show an overview of the
status of both counter groups. Pressing anywhere
inside of the blue bordered counter group will then
display the counter screen for that counter group as
shown in Figure 37.
Counters can be driven by cycles of the machine
(Cycle Based counters) or by sensors tied to a
hardware input (Sensor Based counters). The
counter drive mode is indicated in the lower left
corner of the counter screen. As described in the
following section, cycle based counters can also be configured to count by a set amount every so many
cycles and each counter group can be separately configured for cycle or sensor-based counting.
