DESCRIPTION
Direct Commands
Direct entering of commands (ASCII-Characters) and sending to the Handling Controller. The commands can be entered as capital letters or Prompt entries by Return. Enter direct commands to KV-PLC, press q to quit Monitor Flags Status Flag of the Handling Controller. The status message "0" means inactive, the status "1" means active.

Teach Positioning Times
Program to measure positioning times of the carrousel. The program starts positioning automatically. As a result a table containing the measured positioning times is presented.
Random Positioning
Program for positioning the carrousel randomly without gate movements. After entering the access intervals the program continuously simulates accesses at random positions until the "q-Key" is pressed. As a result a table containing statistical data is presented. If an error of positioning time larger then 0.4 seconds compared with the calibrated positioning time is observed a positioning error is assumed and monitored.
Random Access Cycles
Program for positioning the carrousel randomly including gate movements. After entering the access intervals the program continuously simulates accesses at random positions until the "q-Key" is pressed. As a result a table containing statistical data is presented. If an error of positioning time larger then 0.4 seconds compared with the calibrated positioning time is observed a positioning error is assumed and monitored.
Random Fast Access
Program for positioning the carrousel randomly including combined positioning-gate movements commands. After entering the access intervals the program continuously simulates accesses at random positions until the "q-Key" is pressed. As a result a table containing statistical data is presented. If an error of positioning time larger then 0.4 seconds compared with the calibrated positioning time is observed a positioning error is assumed and monitored.
