Authorize Batch
[0x0A]
Results
When the batch authorizes, the DL8000 displays a
loading screen. The DL8000 “presets the batch”
and displays "Start to Load” and “Stop to Abort"
messages. The operator must press
Start
to
initiate loading within the timeout time [63,0,171]. If
the batch aborts (that is, the operator presses
Stop
instead of
Start
or the DL8000 times out
waiting for the
Start
key to be pressed), the
DL8000 sets the Batch Aborted and Operation
Timed Out flags (bits 14 and 3 in [63,0,119]) and
resets the Batch Authorized flag (bit 17 in
[63,0,119]). This also decreases by
1
the system-
assigned batch sequence number [63,0,125].
End Batch
[0x0D]
Ends an in-progress batch which has halted or aborts an authorized batch
which has not yet started.
Under normal circumstances, a batch ends itself when the preset volume of
all the components in the blend or recipe has been delivered.
The End Batch command is
not
the same as the Stop Batch command
[0x0F]. The Stop Batch command simulates the Stop key being pressed,
which potentially allows the batch to be restarted.
You can also end the batch by pressing
Stop
when the batch is halted without
any active alarm having severity more than info.
