Statistics
Under Statistics, the TNC displays information about the
transmission quality.
If the reception quality is poor so that a proper and safe stop of the
axes cannot be ensured anymore, an emergency-stop reaction of the
wireless handwheel is triggered.
The displayed value Max. successive lost indicates whether
reception quality is poor. If the TNC repeatedly displays values greater
than 2 during normal operation of the wireless handwheel within the
desired range of use, then there is a risk of an undesired
disconnection. This can be corrected by increasing the transmitter
power or by changing to another channel with less radio traffic.
If this occurs, try to improve the transmission quality by selecting
another channel (see "Setting the transmission channel" on page 595)
or by increasing the transmitter power (see "Selecting the transmitter
power" on page 596).
