while a batch was in progress, the running batch would be placed in a paused state. Once the
emergency stop button is pulled out, the batch may be resumed by pressing the Resume button.
Jog Button
The BC623 has a green Jog Button that can be used to jog the feeder
at any time. The jog button will run the feeder at the output speed specified by
the Fast speed % in the Feeder Setup Menu. The Jog button also provides an
isolated contact closure on terminals 10 and 11. This contact may be used in
conjunction with drive controllers that have a jog input. The Jog button works
independently of BC623 controller. It should be used only by experienced
personnel, and its use should be avoided when the controller is running
the feeder automatically. The jog button is a momentary push button and returns the feeder to its
original state when it is released.
