Input Definition Page

, define this input as follows:

• Input Name = “Extractor Free”

• Op Code = 11 “Press Free”

• Bit = the identifier number for the input used (see Section 3.2.2 “Wiring Inputs On the G3

CBW (Mark 8 Tunnel Controls)”).

Monitoring Allied Interface Outputs and Inputs

The status of outputs and inputs can be monitored on the machine display while the machine is in
operation, as explained in the machine reference manual (see Note 3 and Note 4). Beginning with
Mark 4 controls (Mark 9 on the CBW), output and input status can also be monitored on the I/O
boards. These boards contain LED's—one green LED for each input and one red LED for each
output (see Note 5). When the LED is illuminated, the circuit is made.

Note 3:

It is also possible to actuate certain outputs for testing, as explained in the reference manual.

However, the “Display/code” values in the tables herein, refer only to the displays used to view
outputs/inputs.

Note 4:

The outputs and inputs available for viewing on the display include some (but not all) allied

interface signals as well as signals for many other functions. See the reference manual for a listing of all
outputs and inputs that can be monitored during operation.

Note 5:

Almost all allied interface outputs and inputs are passed via the I/O boards (peripheral boards) and

are therefore, represented by LED's on the boards. A few, however, are passed directly via the processor
board (direct outputs/inputs). The processor board does not contain LED's.

Identifying Outputs and Inputs on the Display Pages

—On CBW's, some allied

inputs are available for viewing on the Mentor

Direct and Standard Inputs

page (as indicated in

the signals tables). It is fairly easy to identify signals on the Mentor because the signal names are
displayed.

The single stage press, two stage press, centrifugal extractor, shuttle, COBUC, and dryer use a
two or four line by 20 character LCD display (see Note 6). On these devices, each output or input
is represented by a character (lower or upper case letter) on the top line and a plus (+) or minus (-)
sign under the character indicating the on/off status of the signal. The outputs and inputs span
several display pages. Each page is accessed via the keypad and the procedures for doing so are
explained in the reference manual. The “Display/code” values listed in the tables herein tell you
which display page and character represent the indicated signal, as shown in the following
example:

i2/H

Where:
i =

input

display page (o =

output

display page)

2 = the second in a series of input display pages. See the

reference manual for the keystrokes used to access each
display page in the series. Note that in some software such as
the centrifugal extractor, page numbering begins with 0
(zero); that is, the first page is page #0. Hence, on software
such as the extractor, i2 = inputs page #1 (the second inputs
page).

H = This input is represented by the character “H” on the

display.

Note 6:

When the Milnor Dryer/Shuttle Controller is provided for a new installation, the LCD displays are

omitted from the controllers for any shuttle(s) and dryer(s) also provided. In this case, inputs and outputs
