Diagnostics screen. A sample of the Die Protection Channel Diagnostics screen is shown in Figure 6.24.
This screen gives diagnostic information for the individual channel that was highlighted on the Die
Protection screen. Other channels can be accessed by using the PREVIOUS CHANNEL or NEXT
CHANNEL softkeys. Or the EXIT softkey will return to the Die Protection screen when another
channel can be highlighted and then the CHANNEL DIAGS softkey selected.
The system records the last 64 transitions of the input sensor. A transition is a change of state from Off
to On or from On to Off. Since the circular display can only display one press stroke at a time, the
DECREMENT STROKE or INCREMENT STROKE softkeys can be used to view other press strokes.
By using these keys, a history of the last 64 transitions will be displayed. Transition On and Off angles
are displayed on the Capture Angles table.
The DECREMENT CURSOR and INCREMENT CURSOR can be used to move the cursor on the
circular display. As this cursor is moved, its angular position is numerically displayed in the center of
the circle.
The current Off/On status of the input sensor is displayed in the upper right corner.
Also displayed are the current values of the Time Delay Countdown, Separation Time Countdown, and
Stroke Delay Countdown, and the Number of In Window Transitions.
Section 6.7.3 Bypass
When it is necessary to turn off any or all of the monitoring functions, the individual channel or all
channels must be bypassed. Any channel that is bypassed is no longer being monitored. The system
will not monitor the status of the channel’s input. A bypassed channel is essentially turned off.
There are several bypass options available with the Digital Die Protection and Process Monitor. These
