Edit/Create menu and use of commands
Most significant consideration needs to be given to the product program.
The product
program is the sequence of events and command instructions, imparted via the
controller and the user written program, necessary to describe the simultaneous and
related movements of each of the DELTA’s 4 axes to deposit one product row only.
This individual product program then gets repeated by the value programmed in under the
‘Rows per Tray’ (see fig. 6) instruction within the ‘Tray Set Up’ menu.
Creating a product program requires the appropriate use of available commands along with
numerical data entry to describe simultaneous machine movements as applicable to each of
the DELTA’s 4 axes.
The available machine movement control commands are as follows:
MOVE -- SPEED -- SUCK BACK -- WAIT -- MAN SPACE -- END ROUND
– DELETE
To invoke any of the above commands, use the top RH key to the side of the LCD screen
once the EDIT/CREATE menu is current (see fig. 6).
The available commands will appear on a pop-up menu onto the existing EDIT/CREATE
menu screen - use the up and/or down arrow key on the main keypad area to move the
cursor onto the command required and press enter key to select.
The command will be inserted into the main program above the line that the cursor is
currently on; hence, the cursor needs to be positioned correctly before the introduction of a
new command into the program. To remove pop-up command menu from the EDIT/CREATE
screen, press escape key. The pertinent rules for correct data entry and the effect of each of
the available commands are outlined below:
