Chapter 8 - Frequently Asked Questions
Can multiple PTV-FM units be used in close proximity to each other without crosstalk?
Yes. There are several built-in safeguards to preclude the problem of crosstalk. The first of
these is the use of eight FM channels. Simply using different channels on units in close proximi-
ty effectively eliminates the problem. Further the use of the “seed code” at the start of each
transmission identifies the unique tool. The PTV-FM will not accept signals from transmitters the
seed code of which has not been “learned”.
The transmitter board has been replaced in the FM Switch Wrench. Will the PTV-FM work
with this wrench now?
Yes, as soon as the PTV-FM has “learned” the new transmitter. See Step 24 on the Manual
Learn element of the parameter in the programming procedure to find out how to do this.
Can the PLC output be used to control other processes?
The PLC itself, not the output receptacle, will control other processes. The PTV-FM provides a
signal when a batch is complete. This is often used to signal a PLC to perform other pro-
grammed functions. We suggest consulting your internal PLC expert or your PLC supplier for
how best to take advantage of this feature in your specific facility.
Where can I obtain additional information on the PTV-FM and the FM Switch Wrench?
