Reporting Downtime and Scrap to SFC F-19
Documenting Downtime in Other Situations
You can report downtime reasons to SFC at any time without being prompted by the Forced
Dialog message.
EXAMPLE: UPDATING A DOWNTIME REASON
The operator stops the press for what he assumes is a feed problem and selects the downtime reason
“FEED PROBLEM” from the Dialog Menu. After further investigation, he finds that the feed is working
properly but the air supply to the feed is intermittent. The operator accesses the Dialog Menu, selects
“AIR PROBLEM” from the list of downtime reasons, and chooses the
F2 (Change Prev. Reason)
option. SFC changes the reason for the downtime period from “FEED PROBLEM” to “AIR
PROBLEM.”
To report downtime without being prompted, perform the following steps:
1. On the Main Run Menu (see Figure F-12), select the DIALOG MENU item.
2. On the Dialog Menu, highlight the downtime reason you want, using the Up () or
Down () cursor key, and press ENTER.
or
Press the function key for Operator Number, Back on Line, or Changeover (“32
CUSTOM” dialog screen mode only).
3. If Auto Backfill has been enabled on the Set Communications Menu (see Table F-1,
page F-10), the downtime reason you selected is automatically “backfilled” (i.e., assigned
to the period from the time that the press was stopped up to entry of the next downtime
reason or the BACK ON LINE selection). If a SmartPAC 2 fault has already been
assigned to this period of press inactivity, that fault will be documented as having
consumed 1 second and the remainder of the period filled with the downtime reason you
selected. If the period has been documented as Idle Time, your downtime reason will
replace that entry. The SmartPAC 2 will display a message stating that the downtime
reason has been sent to the host computer.
