E-stop Conditions
An error at the Centrifuge module can trigger an E-stop. When a station
E-stop condition occurs, the following actions take place:
•
The robot stops.
•
The shutdown button turns red, indicating an error condition.
Note Do not select the red Shutdown button. The station is currently
in the red Shutdown state. In the red Shutdown state, the Centrifuge
module retains its current sample tube mapping. Selecting the red
Shutdown button causes the Centrifuge to go into a white Shutdown
state and the Centrifuge module cannot retain the current state of the
samples.
•
If a spin is in progress and the E-stop is not associated with Hettich unit,
the spin continues.
•
An event posts to the event log.
•
The LineMaster workspace status bar above the Centrifuge station
button turns red.
•
On the track light tower, the red light illuminates.
•
The Status Beacon is lit.
In software versions prior to 4.9, the Status Beacon is lit only when the
E-stop button is engaged.
