Name Description How it is Used
SMEMA Handshake
Timeout
Length of time MH-900 will wait for
dispenser’s SMEMA handshake before
entering into error state.
This alerts operators of possible
SMEMA or carrier-transfer issues.
Magazine Side Sensor
Hysteresis
Time delay applied to ON > OFF
sensor state-change.
Note: OFF > ON state-change is not
delayed.
This may be needed to ‘mask’
unwanted OFF signals caused by
any holes in parts. This is also used
to position parts closer to dispenser
when staging (loader only).
Dispenser Side Sensor
Hysteresis
Time delay applied to ON > OFF
sensor state-change.
Note: OFF > ON state-change is not
delayed.
This may be needed to ‘mask’
unwanted OFF signals caused by
any holes in parts.
Look Down Sensor
Hysteresis
[appears on unloader
and same-side loader
only]
Time delay applied to ON > OFF
sensor state-change.
This only applies to unloader and
same-side loader.
Note: OFF > ON state-change is not
delayed.
This may be needed to ‘mask’
unwanted OFF signals caused by
any holes in parts.
This is also used to delay the
activation of pusher (unloader or
same-side only).
Rollback Delay
‘Wait’ time between backtrack moves.
Lookup sensor states are checked
during this ‘wait’ time to determine
whether/not carrier is between lookup
sensors. If not, another backtrack cycle
will begin.
Rollback delay may be needed to
accommodate Dispenser and/or
Magazine Side Sensor Hysteresis
delays.
Note: Backtrack time is defined as
a recipe variable.
Pinch Roller Delay
Time delay between lookup sensor ON
signal and pinch roller ON activation.
This may be needed if pinch roller
engagement is too close to carrier
edge (or engages ahead of carrier).
This delay enables adjustment of
pinch roller engagement position
further inside of carrier edge.
Gripper at Magazine
Delay
[appears on loader and
same-side loader only]
Length of time gripper will dwell at
magazine position prior to closing
gripper.
This only applies to loader and same-
side loader.
This may be needed if gripper
misses carrier by closing before it
has reached the carrier. This delay
allows the gripper to fully extend
before the ‘gripper-close’ action
occurs.
Motion Timeout (0 = no
limit)
Timeout for MH-900 motion.
Alerts operator to long periods of
MH-900 inactivity.
Process Timeout (0 = no
limit)
Timeout for dispenser’s SMEMA signal
activity.
Alerts operator to long periods of
dispenser inactivity.
Gripper Close Delay
[appears on loader and
same-side loader only]
Length of time gripper will dwell at
magazine position after closing
gripper.
This only applies to loader and same-
side loader.
This may be needed if gripper
misses a part by retracting out of
magazine before part is fully
gripped. This delay allows the
gripper more time to engage with
part prior to retracting.
