Forced Error Dialog Mode
The Dialog Menu can also be programmed to display whenever the press is stopped due to a
SmartPAC 2 fault. This feature, called Forced Error Dialog mode (see Making Downtime
Reporting Settings, page G-7), allows the operator to add detail to a period of downtime that is
initially logged to a specific SmartPAC 2 error but may actually have a different cause.
For example, SmartPAC 2 may be set up to generate an “End of Stock” error whenever the
press runs out of material. This downtime reason is applied to the period of time during which
a new coil is located and brought to the press unless the operator selects a more appropriate
downtime reason, such as “Waiting for Coil,” and, using the backfill option (see Backfilling
vs. Forward Filling, page G-2), applies it to the incompletely documented period. When the
downtime reason is backfilled (see Figure G-3, page G-5 for a schematic time line),
SmartPAC logs one second to the initial error (e.g., “Sensor 5–End of Stock”), assuring that
