Control Definitions
The purpose of this chapter is to define the function of the buttons throughout the various screens.
Certain button functions may not make sense right away in this chapter. As the operator reads through
the Operating Instructions chapter of this manual, the function of these buttons will become clear.
NOTE: Not all modes of operation will be discussed in this Chapter. The function of several buttons
and actions are the same in many modes. The description of a function or button operation will not be
repeated if it exists in another mode. All modes of operation will be discussed in the Operations Section
of this manual (Section 5).
Computer and Controller System Safety for DM Controlled Machines:
The computer and controller are located in the main rear electrical enclosure. This unit is a full computer,
running Windows 7 64 Bit operating system. Contact the factory if more information on the computer
system is required.
IMPORTANT: The computer in this machine has the ability to connect to the World Wide Web via
Ethernet or Wireless using a USB wireless (Wi-Fi) adapter. Updating the Rottler software should ONLY
be done when directed to do so by a Rottler service technician. Updating Rottler Software when not
directed by Rottler personnel could result in a non-operational machine.
It is recommended that the machine be hooked up to the Internet anytime it is on. The software on the
machine will automatically connect to our server to send back useful information on machine status. It will
also record performance parameters that will be used to evaluate any occurrence of a malfunction.
The Auto Update for the Windows Firewall (Security) and Windows Defender (Anti-Virus) is turned on.
The computer will automatically download the updates and then install them when the computer is shut
down every Friday night.
Any “IT” personnel should ALWAYS get approval from Rottler before doing ANYTHING on the computer.
Downloading ANY program from the Internet or by other means when not
directed by Rottler is prohibited and will result in the machine warranty being
NULL and VOID.
Downloading any program or changing any Rottler or Computer settings may
cause the machine and/or software to become unstable. DO NOT install ANY
screen saver, Anti-Virus, Spyware or any type of Security software on the computer. This could create a
hazardous environment for the operator and personnel around the machine. Performing any of the above
will also result in the machine warranty being NULL and VOID.
