The function date and time allows setting the date and the time of the controller, also time zone and team rotations with the following window:
Illustration 25 : Date and time window
The browsing in this window is made by the up and down arrows.
Date: The three fields, day , month and year can be modified by using the right and left arrow to increase or decrease the value.
Time: field hour and minute can be modified by using the right and left arrow to increase or decrease the value.
Time zone: to change the time zone, use the right arrow and select corresponding time zone with your geographic localization in the list. Set your time zone will a utomatically change to winter or summer time.
Teams: It’s possible to set 5 teams for your marking machine. You must defined for each team its starting time (with the format hh:mm) and its name (up to 10 characters). Teams are used for the timestamp part.
Use the up and down arrow to move from a field to another one.
Custom: you can define a customized timestamp format for the hour , day , month and year . Use the right arrow to open the different windows:

8.3.Mechanics
The marking window can be configured according to the mechanic (initial setting set up in factory):
Illustration 27 : mechanical settings window
Window : correspond to the real mechanical window, depending on your mechanical type: 50x55, 120x55, and 200x55.
Bidirectional : the bidirectional mode allows reducing marking times by using the ability to the machine to mark in one direction or the other
o Off: the machine marks each line from the beginning to the end of the line.
o On : the machine optimize the route and can invert the marking direction
Optimized speed : allows selecting the speed to which the machine will go to the first marking point. It can have the value « off », standard or high. If the value is set to « off », the machine will move to the first marking point with the programmed speed of the file.
3rd axis: you can choose in the accessory list which one is connected with the third axis of your marking machine.

8.4.16 way settings
Default 16 way settings is the following:
Illustration 28 : 16 way window
Number : the number of the input-output
ES : type input or output
Function: function associated to the input-output. Functions are available are not the same for the input or output type.
o Input functions :
None: no function associated.
Start: start the marking – works with impulsive mode.
Stop: stop the marking – works with impulsive mode.
Pause: pause the marking – works with impulsive mode.
Part presence: allow marking start if a detection system is connected on the input part presence. Otherwise the marking start is forbidden.
Wait: waiting input to include a marking fil e (5.4.3 add a waiting input).
Reset serial: reset the serial numbers of the file – works with impulsive mode (5.3.1 Add a serial number).
Serial increment: increase the file serial numbers – works with impulsive mode (5.3.1 Add a serial number).
File Open: opening a file using input binary combination of inputs having this function. Files that may be open with this function have to be called IO-xxx where xxx corresponds to the binary combination of related inputs.
The value of each input with this function is defined by the order in which it appears. The first value is set to 1, the second is set to 2, the third is set to 4, the fourth is set to 8…
To open the file IO-003, you need to activate the first and the second input with the function.
If the inputs 5, 8 and 10 are set with this function, you have to activated input 5 and 8 and disable the input 10 to open the file IO-003.
If the combination doesn’t correspond to any file of the controller, the current file will be used.
ZInline home: ZInline return to the home position – works with impulsive mode.
ZInline mark: ZInline return to the mark position – works with impulsive mode.
Clear file : create a new marking file – works with impulsive mode
Test: start a marking test – works with impulsive mode.
Back to origin: return to the origin – works with impulsive mode.
o Output functions :
None: no function associated.
Ready: the machine is ready to start a marking.
Marking : a marking is in progress
Fault : Fault on the machine
Pause : the machine is paused
Marking end : the marking is over, the machine go to its origin or its parking point (8.8 Origin)
Origin: The machine is in its origin position.
Maintenance: revision – a machine revision is needed (see M4 inline maintenance guide).
Maintenance: lubrication – stylus lubrication is needed (see M4 inline maintenance guide).
License fault: a license is missing for the wanted marking (8.7 Licenses).
Line output: activation of an output for a marking file (5.4.4 Add an output change).
IDI height : the measured height is out of bounds(5.5 General marking settings)
Wear : stylus wear, it has to be changed
Empty variable: empty and forced variable (5.3.2 Add a variable)
Empty file : the file is empty
Input copy: copy the input state on the output. The input number has to be given in the field data.
