• Inventory Cleared: This is only logged in the Alarm Log and does not cause a pop-
up message or audible alarm. Each time the inventory is cleared, the time and date are
logged to the Alarm Log. An alarm will sound and a screen will pop up when Auto.
Inventory Shutdown has been reached.
• E-Stop Screen: The blender is equipped with an E-stop switch that removes the
power from all mechanical outputs. The E-Stop Screen appears along with an audible
alarm whenever the E-Stop is activated. The operator can not access any screens until
E-Stop is deactivated. The Panel View will then put the screen back to the display that
the operator was on prior to hitting the E-Stop.
Network Communications Baud Rate & I.D. Settings
The blender’s baud rate is the speed at which data is transferred to and from the blender’s
communication port. The blender IP is the address of this blender on a network. The Slide

In order to change the values, enter the Setup menu, press the “Network Setup” button and
change the values accordingly. Baud rates available are 120, 240, 480, 960, 192. Blender
ID’s can range from 1 through 255.

the “Enter” key.

continuously while the blender is operating. If it is set to “Timed Mixing” then
the mixer will run for the “Mixing Time” setting when a batch is dumped into
the mixer.

mix or the batch is dumped.
