This message can sometimes be seen when entering the Production Data\Coil Inventory menu.
Cause
The XL200 series machine controller is designed to be integrated with the Eclipse Production Management System. There could be times when the machine operator and Eclipse are attempting to access certain editing menus at the same time. To prevent problems from occuring, only 1 "user" (the operator or Eclipse) can be allowed to edit those menus at any given time.
When using the Coil Verification functionality in the AMS system, this message will be displayed after the operator loads a new coil into the XL200 controller, and then attempts to access the Coil Inventory menu. If this message is seen, Eclipse is currently trying to send the material code data for the recently loaded coil to the controller for verification purposes.
Remedy
Wait until Eclipse has finished updating the material code for the recently loaded coil.
In the event the controller gets "hung up" in this state, try the following steps:
- Cycle controller power.
- Unload, then reload the same coil.
- Verify all current controller setup parameters are recorded in Eclipse, then clear memory.
If the Production Data\Coil Inventory menu constantly hangs up with this message, it could indicate an ongoing communication problem between the XL200 controller and Eclipse. Contact AMS Controls Technical Support to verify communication settings, and network cabling/wiring.
