STROKES
Specifies the number of strokes that must occur after the press
is restarted following a period of Unplanned Downtime,
Planned Downtime, or Changeover Time before LETS begins
documenting the machine state as “Running Time.” This
setting prevents additional press time from being attributed to
a downtime reason when the operator forgets to select the
“BACK ON LINE” item from the Dialog Menu. The number of
strokes you specify should be the maximum number of press
cycles that are likely to be needed to return the press to
production. Valid entries: 1-9999. Suggested settings:
Set the Unplanned Reset Strokes counter to two strokes more than
the maximum number of strokes required to fill an empty die. This
setting should give the operator sufficient time to complete a
response to the downtime cause (such as Coil Change) that requires
the longest time to address.
Set the Planned Reset Strokes counter to the lowest number of
strokes required to return the press to production following a lunch or
other break.
Set the Changeover Reset Strokes counter to the maximum number
of strokes required to complete a die setup.
SINGLE STROKE MODE This setting, which is used for hand-fed applications when the
press is being run in Single-stroke mode, indicates whether
LETS counts press cycles (or parts made) within the period
specified in the IDLE TIMER field (see next entry) to determine
whether the press is “running.” When this field is set to
“ENABLED,” LETS only documents the press as “Idle” when
no cycles occur (i.e., no parts are made) during an Idle Timer
period. There are two settings:
ENABLED Single-stroke Mode enabled
DISABLED Single-stroke Mode disabled
IDLE TIMER Specifies the number of seconds during which SmartPAC 2
counts the number of press strokes in Single-stroke mode to
determine a production rate for hand-fed applications. This
value should be twice the cycle time for the slowest hand-fed
job run on a press. For example, if the slowest job produces
an average of 6 parts per minute, the Idle Timer should be set
to 20 seconds (6 parts per minute = 10-second cycle time; 2 x
10 seconds = 20 seconds). Available selections: 5, 10, 15, 20,
30, and 60.
SET SPECIAL NAMES Displays the Dialog Special Choice Name Menu, on which you
can create up to 16 custom downtime reasons for display on
the Dialog Menu and specify the order in which they will
appear (see
Creating Special Names on the Dialog Special
Choice Name Menu
, page I-13).
SET CANNED NAMES Displays the Dialog Fixed Name Choice Menu, on which you
can select up to 14 pre-programmed, or “canned,” downtime
reasons for display on the Dialog Menu and specify the order
in which they will appear (see
Selecting Canned Names on the
Dialog Fixed Name Choice Menu
, page I-11).
