4.18 Maintenance Manager
To ensure that required maintenance is done on schedule, programmers can create a maintenance program
and configure the Maintenance Manager in ECXP to remind the operator of the required maintenance.
The Maintenance Manager displays a reminder for the operator at the beginning of the next production
run following the expiration of the configured time period. The operator can choose to continue
production without running the maintenance program, however, the reminder will continue to appear at
the beginning of each production run until the maintenance program is run.
