Reporting Downtime and Scrap to LETS I-11
Programming Downtime Reasons
The SET SPECIAL NAMES and SET CANNED NAMES items on the Set Communications
Menu allow you to specify the downtime reasons that appear on the Dialog Menu and the
order in which they are presented. The items you program on these two menus will be the
menu selections available to the operator when the Dialog Menu displays in Forced Idle
Dialog or Forced Error Dialog mode, or when the operator accesses the menu at other times.
“Canned” names are downtime reasons whose text has been pre-programmed into the
SmartPAC 2. “Special” names are downtime reasons whose text you assign. You can select
up to 14 “canned” names and create up to 16 “special” names. The Dialog Menu can include
both “canned” and “special” entries, displaying up to 30 items.
When planning the order in which you want Dialog Menu items to display, you should
attempt to predetermine the downtime causes that are likely to occur most frequently and
place these at the beginning of the downtime reason sequence.
Selecting Canned Names on the Dialog Fixed Name Choice Menu
When you select the SET CANNED NAMES item on the Set Communications Menu, the
Dialog Fixed Name Choice Menu (see Figure I-6) displays. This menu allows you to select
the “Canned” names that will appear on the Dialog Menu. “Canned” names are downtime
reasons whose text has already been programmed into the SmartPAC 2. You can select up to
14 of these pre-programmed entries for inclusion in the Dialog Menu.
It is recommended that you create a standardized list of downtime reasons for all your presses.
Having the Dialog Menu display the same downtime reasons in the same order on all SmartPAC
2s will help to minimize reporting errors.
