System Alarm Messages
During TM-401 operation, the operator will occasionally be prompted to fill the
Tube Feeder with parts, unload the Taper or check an Inspection Fail .
When the TM-401 requires attention it will automatically stop. A beep will sound
and the
Tower Light will turn flashing red to draw the operator’s attention.
On the HMI, a System Alarm Message will appear.
System Alarms are triggered for several reasons. When the TM-401’s sensors detect an error sit-
uation such as Low Cover Tape or a Tape Jam, the System Alarm Message alerts the user to the
error. System Alarms will also appear if the TM-401 needs to be adjusted before operation can
begin. For example, if the E-Stop button is depressed preventing operation, the System Alarm
alerts the user so the situation can be resolved and operation can begin.
System Alarm Messages contain a description of the problem and suggestions for resolving the
problem. They also include an illustration of the TM-401 with the area of interest indicated by a
flashing red outline.
To resolve a System Alarm , follow the suggested steps to clear the error situation then click Con-
tinue to return to the HMI screen that was active before the alarm was activated. To resume
operation, press Start on the HMI Run Tab .
