the Dispensing Head and Conveyor. This system consists of the following:

A key attached to the dispensing system Hatch that fits into a switch that is attached to the right
side doorframe.

A Light Beacon.

The system Computer and FmNT software.

If the Hatch is opened while a dispensing program is running, the key is extracted from the switch. The break
in the Interlock circuit causes the following actions:

The FmNT software commands all dispensing motion to stop.

The Dispensing Valve shuts off.

The system goes into a low power level.

The Light Beacon displays a solid yellow light.

To recover from a shutdown triggered by the Interlock:


1.

Close the Hatch.


!

Safety

The dispensing program will resume at the same place it was when the Hatch was opened.

2-9

Light Beacon
The Light Beacon is a device that displays system status and can warn the Operator when fault conditions
exist. The Beacon has red, yellow, green, and blue lights that can be solid or flashing. The Beacon also has
an audible alarm. Table 2-2 provides possible reasons for each color indication.
Software and hardware share control of the Beacon lights. Sometimes, hardware-driven displays override
those caused by software conditions and sometimes software-driven displays override. Safety critical
conditions always have priority. Flashing light software commands have priority over solid light commands.
