Load station
• There is a maximum of four load stations (

being non-
changeable. Load stations do not have a bar on the left border.
• After a new rack has been placed into a load station, the second line
of the corresponding button indicates which program (color and code)
has been recognized and will be carried out.
The rhombus (
#
) indicates that the rack has been detected by the soft-
ware and will be processed as soon as possible.

)
indicating the station type.
These are:

Empty stations do not carry any letters.
• At the left border of the button a bar (

) may be displayed,
providing different types of information, depending on the
type of station.
• The second and third line are activated when a station is
used in a program run.
• The first line of a station turns white (

) when the transfer
arm is located above that station.
• In the second line the program code (

) is displayed in
the clip color that has been allocated.

) followed by the se-
quential number (

of the rack. This rhombus counts the
number of racks which pass the station everyday. When
