[Changing racks]
Each target rack displayed on the screen can be used as a
button for a rack change. In the upper right corner, it
contains a sequential digit (0
-9, a-z, ...
). This digit complies to
the work place order within the selected work cycle
(
'Reference Data' ▶ 'Work cycles'). To change a rack, press on
the rack symbol. The drawer opens and the rack can be
replaced. After that, it is automatically considered replaced
and empty.
If the rack is linked across several drawers, pressing the rack
symbol will cause all related drawers to be opened.
Important:
When you did confirm the rack change, you
must swap the
corresponding rack with an empty one.
If the process has been
activated by mistake, the operation
can be cancelled by pressing the same rack symbol again. The
opened drawer will then have to be closed again in order for
the sorting process to continue at the next available position
in the rack. If the drawer remains
opened, the system will halt
and signal an error.
