Multi-Colored Status Lamp

A multi-colored status lamp (tower light) indicates faults and machine statuses. The status lamp is on the control cabinet so that all existing alarm messages are clearly visible from the main operator station.

Red The red lamp lights up if the machine is at a standstill for various reasons, for instance:
  • If the transport equipment is still at a standstill but "Start" is pending.
  • If a group fault is reported.
  • In an EMERGENCY STOP situation.

Additional information is displayed in the screen. Once the cause of the fault has been remedied, press the Fault Reset key.

Blue The blue lamp lights up during a maintenance call that requires operator intervention. Additional information is displayed in the screen.
  • Tool life/ New tool needed
  • Quality check
Yellow The yellow lamp lights up in the event of pre-warnings, for instance:

Flashing Yellow: Blocked

  • Machining is complete, but outgoing stations/conveyor are at capacity and automation
    is unable to unload part.

Solid Yellow: Starved

  • Machine is waiting on automation to load part.

The machine can only be operated manually in this state (set-up, MDI mode).

Green The green lamp lights up when the machine is running without limitations in linked mode and the program is continually repeated.
