4.10 Beacon Configuration
The behavior of the light beacon can be customized to respond to user-defined input/outputs, such as low
fluid, etc. Beacon configuration is only turned on if both Custom System and Configurable Beacon
options are chosen during initial system configuration or reconfiguration. A separate beacon9xx.ini file is
used to store the beacon configuration settings. The operation of the beacon depends on the machine
firmware. Some versions of the firmware may have priority over the beacon function.
 NOTE ECXP only monitors inputs and outputs when it is not busy running a product program or
procedure. If an input or output should change state during production, the beacon will
not be turned on until the current program or procedure is completed.
To set Beacon Configuration:
1. Configure the system as Custom. See 2.5 ECXP Configuration.
 Alternatively, you may edit the ECW.ini file. Find the [Workcell1] section and set
Has Configurable Beacon=1.
2. Decide what components you want to monitor.
 You must know the I/O number for each of the components.
3. Create a Log Trigger Fault.
a. Click on
Configure > Status Monitoring > Log Trigger Fault.
b. Click on
New to add a new Trigger Fault (Figure 4-20).
