Re the bugs, have you got an idea on what they are?
We can easily work through some of that once we get the source code.
Is there a HMI/SCADA or similar .? .
There is a 12 inch HMI at the upper level of the elevator and 2 more along the conveyor lines near the palletizer/wrapper.
I will do my best to get this file to you tomorrow.
The elevator does not want to work correctly in auto. If you reset everything you can get it to move one time in auto, then it will just sit at that floor until you reset everything again.
It is supposed to bring itself to the upper deck when not in use or no pallets are queued on any lower deck. That way it is not sitting in the freezer hold while waiting for long periods of time. But it is doing exactly the opposite. it goes all the way down past the pallet conveyor on the lower deck and sits on the floor until you either reset everything and call it back in auto or you switch out of auto and go to manual.
I really have not look into it at all yet, just going by what the factory techs has said. I was not out with them for the trial runs fishing off the coast of Washington state. But I heard it did not go so well. The vendor programmer was with them then trying to get it all lined up. But he will not be returning, so if they do not find anyone else this will land square in my lap to make it work.
Not sweating it yet, we still have a whole week yet before we leave.
I have to hit the rack for tonight. 5am comes awful early and tomorrow will be a new day.
I will set aside my other work tomorrow and spend the day troubleshooting the elevator. I am sure I will have lots of questions once I get to digging into it online.
Thank you all so much for your assistance. Talk with you tomorrow.
Have a good night.
