Settings
Figure 9: Settings tab
The following settings can be configured in the Settings tab:
1
Local interface lock: Locks the buttons on the display
2
Crosstalk Offset Time: If two identical FlexChain systems are operated in close
proximity to one another, there is a possibility of mutual interference. The
Crosstalk Offset Time changes the cycle time of the FlexChain system. The two sys‐
tems can then no longer interfere with one another due to the different cycle time
and the standard 2-bit processing.
3
“Notification handling” can be used to activate or deactivate events. Various
events such as overtemperature, overvoltage, etc. can be selected. PDinvalid
means invalid process data.
4
Test functions: Deactivates the sender LED. This is used to check whether the
receiver is responding.
5
Factory reset: Restores all settings to the factory defaults. If there are guests con‐
nected to the system, these need to be reassigned using “Automated assignment”,
and then taught in again using “Teach all devices”.
6
Blanked channels: The “blank all currently made/blocked channels” functions can
be used to hide all free or currently blocked beams. This function is useful if there
is a static object in the light path (e.g., light grid). The channels can also be individ‐
ually hidden using Ctrl-left mouse button. Channels that are hidden are no longer
included in the process data.
