Functions for switching to other zones

.03.04
In addition to the sealing parameters, further functions can be allocated to each zone, which
serve to enable the automatic switch to other zones and a more exact setting of the sealing
operation sequence.
● Select appropriate functions for each zone, activated functions are displayed as inverse
symbols on the screen.
Description of the functions
Programmed section
mm
This function is used to determine the length of the current zone. The value in millimetres is
entered on the appropriate number block. When this function is activated, the machine swit-
ches to the next sealing zone after processing the entered section.
Loop program command
When this function is switched on a loop is programmed into the program sequence.
IN2
Programmed output
When this function is switched on, the current zone takes on an output switch function. Two
outputs can be stipulated with the appropriate menu. The sealing parameters entered for
this zone are not taken into account.
Programmed input
When this function is switched on, the machine does not switch to another zone until an
appropriate input signal is given or not given. The two different inputs can be set up with the
appropriate menu.
Sealing on/off
When this function is switched on, the current zone takes on a switching function. The seal-
ing operation is switched off or on and the machine moves to the next zone. For the follow-
ing zones, the sealing remains switched off or on until the setting is changed again.
Entering the return target position
Here, the number of a previous zone can be entered.
Entering the number of loop iterations 0 - 99
Input "0" = the loop runs endlessly
Interrupt the loop with a high level (24V) on free input IN2 (X8/PIN3)
Zone forwarding with foot switch 1 at Stop (see chapter 7.04) skips the loop
command.
