3BUS 208 000 R1301 161Control Panel Operation
Scanning Platform Modes of Operation
The control panel has four modes of operation that allow different levels of Host
computer control. The control panel’s modes of operation are described below.
Remote/On-Sheet
In the Remote/On Sheet mode, the Host computer has total control of the Scanning
Platform. The Host computer is able to request the Scanning Platform to measure,
standardize, or other remote operations.
While the Scanning Platform is in the Remote/On Sheet mode, the REMOTE and
ON SHEET push button LEDs are on.
Remote/Off-Sheet
In the Remote/Off-Sheet mode, the Scanning Platform is still communicating with
the Host computer system, but it will refuse any Host requests to measure or
standardize, but permits sample check.
While the Scanning Platform is in the Remote/ Off–Sheet mode, the REMOTE and
OFF SHEET push button LEDs are on, and the sensor head package is in the off-
sheet position on the Scanning Platform.
When a sheet break is detected on the paper machine, the sensor shutters close, the
sensor head package moves to the off–sheet position, and the Scanning Platform
enters the Remote/Off–Sheet mode automatically. Head tracking errors, inherent
sheet break, and AEOS errors will also cause the platform to automatically enter
the Remote/Off–Sheet mode.
The Scanning Platform must be in the Remote/Off–Sheet mode to perform sensor
sample checks. While in the Remote/Off–Sheet mode, the STANDARDIZE push
button on the Scanning Platform control panel is enabled, but any standardize results
will be reported through the Service Workstation, not the Host computer.
Local
In the Local mode, all communications with the Host computer are disabled. The
sensor shutters will not open and the Scanning Platform will not scan.
When the Scanning Platform is in the local mode, the LOCAL push button LED is
on and the On Sheet and Off–Sheet LEDs are off.
The Local mode enables the control panel JOG and SET SCAN LIMIT push buttons.
