Fixed Speed Conveyors
If your FT-70 is installed on a fixed speed conveyor, you will use
the Line Speed Calibration Procedure to synchronize your FT-70
and rejector. The Line Speed Calibration Procedure allows an FT-70
that is not equipped with a High Resolution Encoder to perform
down can inspection on fixed speed conveyor lines.
Note
Although you do not need to install the High Resolution Encoder,
we do recommend it to improve your system performance.
To use the Line Speed Calibration Procedure with a fixed speed
conveyor production line:
• Your conveyor control system must not allow the conveyor to
stop while there are containers in the inspection area (the area
from the inspection trigger to the rejector centerline must be
clear).
• You must be using a Proline rejector.
Before You Begin
Your FT-70 must contain the Baseline Eight version of the system
software to use the calibration procedures listed in this section. If
you do not have Baseline Eight, contact IDC Customer Service for
instructions pertaining to your baseline.
Note
You must configure the FT-70 for a fixed speed production line by
closing dip switch S1-3 before you begin the following procedure.
1. Turn the FT-70 power on, or press the reset button and the
FT-70 will begin its start-up sequence.
2. Read the software version code in the displayed status
message:
***IDC FT-70 MT:05***
VERSION:MGI STAT:0480
3. If the version code is MGI thru MZZ, TYW thru TZZ, or SAA
thru SZZ, Baseline Eight is installed. If any other version code
appears, contact IDC Customer Service for instructions.
