6.3.1
Applications
It sometimes happens that all of the parameter settings
for a labeller must be restored or transferred to another
labeller. In such cases, the user can import all of the
function settings together as a set, saving time, money
and stress. The following applications come to mind:
– After a service action, when the same settings as
before the service are to be reinstalled on a labeller.
– When the settings in the functions menu of one la-
beller are to be transferred onto another machine of
the same model.
– When several labellers of the same model are to be
set up with exactly the same settings.
In these cases, it is convenient to first export and save
the settings so that they can later be imported. There
are two ways of doing this:
– Data interface: Readout via the data interface with
the help of appropriate interface commands. This
method requires a sound knowledge of the Easy
Plug command language and will not be described
here (for detailed information see the Easy Plug
manual).
– Memory card: Saving the settings onto a memory
card as a text file (“setup file”) (see description that
follows).
6.3.2
Saving onto a memory card
Switch the labeller off.
Insert memory card into labeller’s card slot.
Switch the labeller on.
Call
MACHINE SETUP > Store Parameters
–
This function only appears in the menu if there
is a memory card in the
labeller’s card slot.
Choose an option for saving: “With adjust para” or
“Without adj. par”
– “With adjust para”: (Preset): device-specific settings
are
included
in what is saved. These include sensor
settings, for example.
The names of the relevant functions are marked
with a “*” in the text file.
This setting is recommended when the intention is
to transfer the settings back onto the same machine.
– “Without adj. par”: parameters that contain device-
specific settings are
excluded
from what is saved.
This is recommended when settings from one
machine are to be transferred to another machine of
the same model.
Press the
button.
– The preset file name is now shown (saved in
\FORMATS directory on the memory card):
“SETUPALL ALS xxx yy zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.FOR”
for
MACHINE SETUP > Store Parameters
= “With adjust
para”
“SETUP ALS xxx yy zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.FOR” for
MACHINE SETUP > Store Parameters
= “Without adj. par”
(with xxx = machine type, e. g. 306; yy = RH or LH;
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz = CPU board serial number)
File name and directory can be changed
using buttons on labeller operator panel. If
a file with the name entered already exists,
this will be overwritten without asking for
confirmation.
