UNEXPECTED FF-SE STOPPAGE
If the FF-SE is operating when you connect your PC, through the RS232 cable it may stop when connected. A residual
signal in the serial port buffer of the PC may cause this condition. Start the FFSE.EXE program to reset the FF-SE to normal
operation.
•
Using the FFSE.EXE program.
1)
Start the FFSE.EXE program.
2)
Insert the disk into drive A and from the start menu, chose «Load settings file ».
3)
Select the saved file information on the disk, (file used by the previous sensor for example
POST23.PRM or AGV2B.PRM).
4)
Leave the start menu with [Continue] and entering the password (use the indicated original password
for the replacement sensor).
5)
The main menu will appear.
6)
Select [settings] and the loaded protection zones (PRM file) will appear on the screen.
7)
Adjust the North alignment option accordingly, to compensate for the alignment differences between
the different sensors (Menu : [Define], [Options])
8)
Ensure that the loaded zones will not include existing obstacles.
9)
Select [Done] and confirm the Transfer setting into the FF-SE memory, selecting [Yes].
10)
PRM file is transferred to the replacement sensor memory.
11)
The programmed zones and the restart delays are listed on screen.
12)
Confirm one more time, if FF-SE settings are correct by clicking on [Yes].
13)
Release new settings by selecting [Ok].
14)
The sensor is now programmed with the same configuration as the previous sensor.
•
Physically check the protection zones with the machine switched off as follows :
1)
Select the function [Monitor] from the main menu.
2)
With a dark test object, with a radius of approximately 70 mm (2.758 in), check the safety and alarm
zone limits. The red and yellow lights must illuminate. On screen the fields [Safety] and [Alarm] light up
and you hear an acoustic signal.
3)
Once you have checked the protection zones, connect the signal outputs of the FF-SE to the
machine stopping circuitry. Now that the machine is powered up, but not yet operating, check the
functions of the safety system.
4)
Ensure the proper functioning of the safety system with the FF-SE switched off.
5)
Now operate the machine. Introduce an object, for example a box, into the protection zones.
