Optional functions in the ALS

In addition to the ALS modules, there are additional functions which can be ordered as a separate, optional 'Sales unit'. 

 

Set-up protocol

ARBURG ALLROUNDERs with SELOGICA controllers from version 3.090 onwards offer the facility of diverting the set-up protocols to the host processor interface (LRSS).

This function must be released in the ALS by the ARBURG ALS Service, separately for each machine. Those machines, on which the the controller function 'Set-up protocol on LRSS' is active in the master data, have the additional entry 'Set-up protocol' in their pop-up menu in the 'Machine hall'. When you select this function, a range of dates is displayed for selection. The 'ALS Web Viewer' is then started and the set-up protocol displayed.

 

Compulsory entry of cause of error

On ARBURG ALLROUNDERs with host processor interface, it is possible to enter a cause of error for documenting the times of machine standstill. This input is automatically reset after 10 consecutive good-part cycles.

SELOGICA control systems, version 3.090 onwards, are configured so that after a certain length of standstill time, a cause of error must be input before the machine can be re-started.

This function is activated at parameter 'f8427= cause of error input yes'.

The time 't8327= x min. cause of error input' determines the maximum length of time in minutes after which a machine can be restarted after a standstill without having to input a cause of error. When ' t8327' expires, the controller jumps to the 'Host processor communication' (B key) panel. Here the information is displayed that a cause of error must be input. Without inputting a cause of error, the operator can only undertake inputs and manual axis movements but it is not possible to operate the machine in automatic mode. 

When the operator restarts the machine after inputting a cause of error, the cause of error is reset after the time input at 't8328 x min. erase cause of error' expires. If the machine stops again before this time has expired, this means that the cause of error previously input still applies, so it need not be input again. 

ALS assigns the time period from the beginning of the standstill to the restart of the machine to the specified cause of error. In this way the time from the start of the standstill until input of the cause of error is documented.
