INTRODUCTION






The 600 Series control is designed to work with the direct drive conveyors. The 600
Series Control is a microprocessor-based control that stops the conveyor at a designated
picking station. The conveyor will move either clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise
(CCW), and the chosen slot or frame will automatically travel the shortest route and
stop at the picking station.

Nonvolatile memory (EEPROM) is provided. If power is interrupted or the control is
disconnected the program will be retained in memory. When the power is restored,
reprogramming is not required unless the conveyor has been manually advanced while
the 600 Control was disconnected.

Four pieces make up the 600 Control; the 600 keyboard, hand switch, inverter
interface
, and the inverter. Other optional accessories can be, footswitches, or
additional 600 keyboards. A maximum of two 600 keyboards can be used on one
conveyor and a maximum of two handswitches and/or one footswitch can be added to a
conveyor controls package. If using the PC interface option, only the computer
connected to the inverter interface (keyboard #2 port) will be able to send the data to
initiate the pick at the 600 keyboard. After the data is transferred you will see the word
PICK
flashing on the 600 keyboard, at this point by pressing the button below the
word pick on the 600 keyboard the conveyor will go to the first slot stored in the pick
memory.

1.0 UNDERSTANDING THE DISPLAY AND INDICATORS


T
he main screen (example shown in Figure 1.0) on the 600 keyboard allows for manual
or automatic picking control. This section will explain the features of the main screen.


MAIN SCREEN

FIGURE 1.0


1 - The top left of the screen displays the AT location. This can be a slot, or frame
value of where the conveyor frame is currently at.
2 - The top right of the screen shows the GO location the conveyor frame is moving
to.
3 - The center of the screen displays the conveyor ID number. When controlling a
single conveyor this number should always be 1.
4 - Below the conveyor ID number is the 600 keyboard status. When it displays ON
then this 600 keyboard has control of the conveyor. If it displays LOCKED then
another 600 keyboard or hand switch device has control of the conveyor. If this
display displays EMER-STOP then another device has the emergency stop pushed
in. This could also mean that the handswitch jumper is not in place. When the display
shows two dashes, another device has released control and this 600 keyboard is
able to obtain control of the conveyor. This 600 keyboard cannot control the
conveyor until the other device releases control of the conveyor.

5 - The bottom row of the screen is used to configure the programmable buttons. The
programmable buttons
are the top row of blue oval buttons.
Below the display screen are three rows of keys. These keys are the numeric keys and
also the ENTER and CLEAR keys.
The STOP button is located at the bottom of the 600 keyboard. The STOP
button can be used to stop the conveyor from moving when this 600 keyboard has
control of the conveyor. When this 600 keyboard has control of the conveyor the
STOP
button must be used to release control of the conveyor by holding the
STOP
button for 3 seconds.

2.0 PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS

The 600 Series Control must be programmed via the 600 keyboard to automatically
control the movement of the conveyor frame from any location to a fixed picking
station. Programming the 600 interface can be done at different levels; Customer,
Installer, and Manufacturer. This manual will explain only the customer features.

The picking station can be located at any point in the conveyor configuration. The slot
or frame is numbered consecutively starting at 1 (or any higher number) to a
maximum of 9999
.

THE 600 CONTROL MUST BE PROGRAMMED:
A. Upon Installation, or
B. Numbering system is changed, or
C. If a picking station is relocated, or
D. If there is a malfunction.


When power to the conveyor is initially turned ON, the display will show the
WHITE
logo screen. The 600 Control is ready to be programmed by accessing the
menu area. To clear the logo, press any key on the 600 keyboard.

To enter the menu area, press the button directly below the menu text on the screen.
If the graphic screen is displayed then press any key on the 600 keyboard to display the
operation screen.

2.1 PASSWORDS
The three programmable menu areas are customer, installer, and
manufacturer
. Each menu is protected by a password that prevents the user from
accidentally altering the conveyor settings. The default passwords are as follows:
Customer password is 1, Installer password is 2 and Manufacturer password
is 3.
If the customer password has been changed and the password has been
forgotten then you can still access the customer area by entering the installer menu
area using the installer password. If all three passwords have been changed and
forgotten then the 600 keyboard would need to be reprogrammed from the factory
at the repaired 600 keyboard price.

The customer features are selected by pressing the 1 key on the 600
keyboard. Example shown in (Figure 2.1).




Figure 2.1



When the 600 keyboard prompts for a password, please enter the default factory
password of 1. The first menu screens will provide access to the changeable
customer parameters
. Diagnostics screens can also be accessed from this screen.
Diagnostics can help resolve the problem before the need to call for support. The
diagnostics features are explained later in his manual.

The ABOUT feature will display the current 600 keyboard software
version and date of the software revision. Example shown in (Figure 2.1a).











Figure 2.1a


From this screen press MORE and it will display the current Inverter
Interface software version and date of the software revision. Example
shown in (Figure 2.1b).

located. To program the Set Location press 3 from this menu and type in the
current slot number at your 600 keyboard location (example 47) and press ENTER.

The first slot is usually set to 1, but if you have multiple conveyors that count
consecutively then your first number may start at 301 and your last number might be
600.
Make sure when you count consecutively that you also setup your Set
Location
to a valid number between 301 and 600 for this conveyor

When completed with the conveyor programming, return back to the main screen by
pressing the BACK button.
