Citizen A20 Parts Counter

[danrudolph]

Is there any way for the parts counter to increment while the machine is in One Cycle mode? Currently, the parts counter only increments in Continuous mode. I stop the machine for inspections and I would like to maintain an accurate count without changing the counter.

I looked through the Citizen programmers, operators and maintenance manuals for a parameter that might toggle between counting and not counting in one cycle mode, but to no avail.

(Using a A20, Type 7)

Thanks,
Dan

could you just throw an m0 at the start of your program to stop it

M56-Counter- Increments parts counter by one if in CONTINUOUS CYCLE MODE
This can be changed to any CYCLE MODE by changing PC-PRM KEEP-RL
# K00 bit 4 to a 1.

Great, thanks, I'll check that out this afternoon.

Is that like changing a parameter? I've never changed a keep relay?

Enable PWE by pressing Offset, Setting then goto PWE by using the cursor keys and “1” INPUT. An alarm is now on.

Press Maint. , PARAM, >, PMCMNT, > KEEPRL. Cursor to K00 bit 4 and press “1” INPUT.

Then go back to PWE and change back to 0.
