Auto Sequence Programming Examples
8.1
Overview
An auto-sequence allows the user to step through previously saved set-ups stored in the
mainframe’s memory. Up to nine auto-sequences can be saved. Each auto-sequence can
consist of up to sixteen steps. There are two modes available for the auto-sequence
function. These are
edit mode -
to set up an auto-sequence and
test mode
- to recall and
start an auto-sequence execution.
8.2
Edit Mode
To set up a new auto-sequence using the Edit mode, proceed as follows:
1.
Set-up all load parameters such as the operating mode, along with sink values and
the LOAD ON/OFF status. Configuration and limit settings can also be set and the NG
ON function may be selected as part of the setup.
2.
Press the STORE key and one of the numbered STATE keys to store the set up in one
of the memory locations. The BANK number can also be changed to provide
additional memory locations.
3.
Repeat the previous steps as needed to create additional load set-ups and saved
them to separate memory locations using the STORE, BANK and STATE keys.
4.
Once the required number of load setups has been saved enter the EDIT mode by
pressing the EDIT key. The EDIT key will light up indicating the EDIT mode is active.
5.
With the EDIT button lit, the auto-sequence identity (F1 to F9) can be selected using
the numbered STATE keys.
6.
Now select the first memory location by pressing the up/down arrow keys to select
the BANK and STATE. This will become the first step of the AUTO-SEQUENCE.
7.
Press ENTER to set the chosen BANK and STATE memory location.
8.
Using the arrow keys set the test time (T1) and NG/LIMIT checking time (T2) for that
step of the auto-sequence.
9.
Press ENTER to save the time setting and move onto the next step of the auto-
sequence.
10.
Repeat steps 6 to 9 to as needed to enter up to 16 steps to form the auto-sequence.
11.
Once the desired number of steps have been set, press the STORE button.
12.
The LCD will show REP (repetitions).
13.
Use the arrow keys to set the number of auto-sequence repetitions.
14.
Press STORE to confirm the sequence edit.
