Down Announcement



The Down Announcement window lets you record, play and copy announcement messages for whenever a machine goes into a down state. A separate announcement can be recorded for each defined down reason within a selected down set.

Note: Down does not mean the machine is no longer cycling. A machine is considered down under one of the following circumstances:

·The machine is cycling so slowly that the actual cycle time is longer than the down time threshold specified in the current job.  
·The operator has selected a down reason that 'forces' the machine into a down state.  

Where can you find it?

·Click on the Configure menu.  
·Choose the Down Announcement option.
