FUNCTION
DESCRIPTION
PRESELECT
The AUTO switch will initiate the AUTOMATIC cycle. It may also be used
to cut the cycle Wrap cycle short. Example: The wrapping cycle is set to 30
film layers. The operator wishes to complete the cycle and offload the bale
using only the automatic facilities of the system. Activating the AUTO switch
during an automatic cycle, will cause the controller to consider the bale as
completed and the machine will position the wrapping arm on the sensor
when ready and the bale may be offloaded.
The STOP button will cause the machine to stop any process instantly
irrespectively of the operation in progress. A START command will at this
stage restart the cycle from where it previously was stopped, continue the
cycle and complete according to the programme.
MODES OF OPERATION.
The system is designed so that the automatic mode and the manual mode is seperated by a
STANDBY MODE. This means that when operated in the automati mode, all manual commands
are ignored with the exception of the ROLLER in, OUT and the BALE SPIN STOP fuction and
additional film layer function. In other words all other
manual function
are only accessable
when in standby mode.
STANDBY MODE.
Standby mode is the waiting state between the Auto and the Manual mode. Standby mode is
automatically resumed when:
1. An automatic cycle is completed.
2. Between cycle steps,
It is here in STANBY for a operator command
for manual or
automatic function. A AUTO command will instruct the machine to advance to the next logical
step in the auto cycle, namely the offloading of the bale if this is defined in the setup where as the
system in manual only will execute the requested function activated on the manual switch.
3. Stopping the cycle will at any stage bring the system into standby mode.
The machine is generally required operated
automatically with the exception of the BALE
offloading and loading.
The controlling system will with its standard factory setting,
automatically control the machine with AUTO commands. For every programme step, the
machine has completed, the machine will stop and await further command from the operator.
During a normal automatic cycle the machine will via the audio alarm, inform the operator that
the wrapping cycle has now been completed and that bale is ready to be offloaded.
