FLEX 200

5.4  Electrical connection and start-up

After turning on the computer, at system start-up, the ON lamp comes on.

When the software is launched it offers the operator a series of procedure requests, including initialization 

(chapter 5.5). This operation is strictly related to the type of management software used.

5.5  Initialization

INITIALIZATION 

is a preparatory phase that has to be carried out when the machine is turned on.

 

If initialization, even if required when the software is started, is not carried out, the machine gets automatically 

ready for use before executing any commands.

Afterwards, the timed process of colorant stirring is started.

DANGER

At  machine  start-up,  the  initialization  command  might  cause  the  turntable  to  be  automatically  moved,  with  the 

purpose to bring the first configured circuit to a known position.
