CONTROL PANEL
The control panel layout is custom designed for each particular installation. Please before
proceeding be familiar with location of the EMERGENCY button and all functions, switches
and pushbuttons.
POWER SWITCHES
Main Disconnect Switch
ON - connects the power source to the machine.
OFF - disconnects the power source.
Power Switch
When the power switch is not actuated, all the inputs of the machine are operative but the
outputs will remain disabled. This is a useful aspect for troubleshooting since the signal may
be traced at the PLC without having the machine operate. When the power switch is
activated, the outputs are enabled and the machine will resume no rmal operation.
Operation Mode Selector Switch
The two settings on the operation mode selector switch are:
MANUAL:
Manual operation for use during the machine testing, set-up,
or troubleshooting.
AUTO:
Automatic operation whe n using the programmed commands
of the automatic cycle.
When the switch is set to
MANUAL
the manual control switches are enabled. In order to
begin machine testing or operational set-up, the operation mode MUST be set to
MANUAL
.
This will permit the operator to use the manual switches described in this section.
When the mode selector switch is set to
AUTO
, the programmed commands stored in the
PLC are operate and the
START
button may be pressed to permit normal automatic
operation. The STOP button may be pressed to stop the cycle during operation. The mode
selector switch may be switched from
AUTO
to
MANUAL
during the cycle for a transfer to
manual operation.
START AND STOP SWITCHES
(EMERGENCY STOP)
The START switch is used to start the cycle once the load is on the turntable (or under the
rotary arm). The cycle may be stopped at anytime by pressing the STOP button.
NOTICE:
In case of emergency, use the STOP button, which interrupts all the machine
electrical circuits (except multis tretch drive). If the STOP pushbutton is pressed in the
middle of the cycle, the carriage and turntable (rotary arm) may be returned to their home
position by using the buttons in the
MANUAL
mode.
