SAVING FORMATS
DATA SCREEN
From the data display, we manage format storage. All data necessary to reproduce the production of a bottle
or container is stored in so-called formats. These include data for the blowing process, but also the
configuration data of the machine elements such as parameters of servos, oven temperatures, production,
description of the format ...
This data is stored in a computer file in an internal screen memory. We can keep as many formats as necessary
(very many). Each data file has a name (usually the name of the format of the bottle to be produced).
The storage (Save) and loading the disc is always done from the current format workspace in use.
The screen is divided into four parts:
-
Save Current Format on Disk: save the current work format (with the current name) to disk. We can
confirm or change the name, and on pressing the button "Save to Format to Disk", it is copied.
-
Load Format from Disc: from a drop-down list, we select the format to upload, and click "Load Format
from Disc" to load it.
-
Delete disc Format: delete stored format. From the drop down list, select the format to delete.
-
Import/Export Formats: options for importing/exporting formats to external memory media (USB or
MMC Card). Export means copying the formats stored on Disk to USB memory or MMC. Import means
copying the formats from USB or MMC memories to disk. The transfer of information is done using a
CSV format file.
