entries, or labels are entered in this step. The IMPAX unit is capable of storing sixteen (16) tags
at a time. Whenever the Tag label is activated, it can be recalled by using Function (#) 9, where
the actual data for that Tag is entered. For example, in this step you can enter the Tag 1 label as
SHOP ORDER NUMBER. This completes the entry, unless you want to enter more tag labels.
Once this is done, you can go to Function (#) 9 and the IMPAX unit will display SHOP ORDER
NUMBER. You press the Enter/Yes key and then enter the appropriate number. The IMPAX
unit will date/time stamp this entry and it can be uploaded to a Personal Computer, if this
IMPAX unit is attached to IMPAXNET. See more information on this topic in Advanced
Operator Functions.
To activate Tags, press the Enter/Yes key. The display will show “TAGS (0-16) NN”
where
NN is the number of tag labels you want to enter. When you have entered the appropriate
number, press the Enter/Yes key. The display will show “DEFINE TAG 1?” At this point the
IMPAX unit is asking if you want to enter or change the label for Tag 1. Press the Enter/Yes
key and the display will show either the previously entered Tag Label or if it is the first time, it
will show “TAG NUMBER 1.”
If you press the Clear key, sixteen (16) dashes will appear. See
the section on Using the Alphanumeric Keypad for instructions on how to enter the Tag Labels.
When you have finished entering the Tag Label, press the Enter/Yes key. After the Tag Labels
have all been entered the next display will show “DEFINE RELAY 1?”
Programming the IMPAX Relays
There are four relays in the IMPAX 2000 monitor. Each of them can be programmed
independently. The relays can be connected to the emergency stop circuit of the machine, to a
diverter or trap chute, to a conveyor, to a feed stop or to many other electrical devices.
If you pressed the Enter/Yes key, you are ready to program a Relay and the display will show
“DEFAULT OFF”.
OFF means that the circuit is open during normal operation, ON means that
the circuit is closed during normal operation. The Next/No key allows you to toggle between
these two entries. Once you have pressed Enter/Yes, you will see the display “MODE CHNG
RELAY.” You can press Next/No at this screen to toggle between four different options. These
options are:
1.
The Mode Change Relay
will activate whenever the IMPAX changes to the designated mode.
The typical setting is Stop. This means that whenever IMPAX goes into STOP mode (red light),
it will activate the relay.
2.
The Break Relay
is associated with the Break Counter in the Quantity Display. Whenever
this relay is defined it will activate whenever IMPAX reaches the Break Quantity.
3.
The Exception Relay
is associated with Exceptions as they are defined in the Channel
Definition. This is typically used for attaching the relay to an air solenoid so that a gate can be
shut or a diverter can be activated when an error is detected but you do not want to shut down the
machine.
