Change from RUNNING mode to STOPPED mode by inhibit signal
If the ‘Enable inhibit signal’ option is connected and activated, you can switch
between both modes from an external signal of a PLC or main machine (24 V
-> RUNNING / 0 V -> STOPPED).
To activate the ‘Enable inhibit signal’ function, access from the ‘Additional
configuration’/’Enable inhibit signal’ menu.
With this option activated, the STOP button is disabled and it is not possible to
change mode manually.
Note:
If the inhibit signal keeps the unit in STOPPED mode, it is not possible to
change to RUNNING mode via Modbus/Profibus communication.
Temperature OK
The temperature OK digital input is used so that the melter can communicate
to the pattern controller that the adhesive is at the set temperature to start
production.
The pattern control will never activate the channel outputs (solenoid valves) if
the temperature is not ‘OK’.
If vinyl glue (cold glue) adhesives are used, the signal must be bridged in the
corresponding internal connector.
For more information, see the electrical diagrams of the unit.
Status
When the equipment is in RUNNING mode, the digital output of ‘STATUS’
(closed contact) is activated and the central GREEN LED light turns on.
When switching to STOPPED or MANUAL mode, or if the equipment is in
READY mode, the GREEN LED turns off and the digital output is deactivated
(open contact). Does not affect the other LEDs.
Error
When the unit detects an error situation (see ‘List of errors and anomalies’)
it activates the ‘ERROR’ digital output and the RED LED of the central light
comes on. The unit changes to STOPPED mode.
If the GREEN or YELLOW LEDs are lit, they turn off to show the new status of
the unit.
In addition, an alarm warning icon flashes on the HOME screen. It is possible
to see the list of alarms produced from the ‘Alarms’ option in the main menu
STARBI.
