Operator Display & Keystrokes

The locking push is a manual push function initiated by the operator to lock the push on. There will be a 3 second prewarning before the valve will activate. The beeper will continue to beep while the valve is active. Usually the only limit is the Conveyor Push Timeout. The display will show "Lock Push: time:xxx" where xxx is the time (in seconds) remaining for the push.

In-shield Locking Push

To activate the conveyor push on only one shield the operator can press the Locking Push key (3-key). There will be a 3 second prewarning before the valve will activate. The beeper will continue to beep while the valve is active. There are two different modes of operation for this push Target Stroke or Time.

Target Stroke If parameter “Locking Push Key” is set to “For Stk”, then the conveyor push function will attempt to push to the target stroke set by parameter “Locking Push Tgt Stk”. Both of these parameters are under Configuration->Conveyor Push. Line2 will continue to show sensor values; line1 will show "# 87 LockPush tgt: 98” for example.
