Manual Station Overview
Manual Station
has up to 96 assignable I/O points, each point
connected to appropriate Opto in I/O Box
same layout as the I/O Box, four groups of 24
I/O, A to D
I/O 1 to 16 inclusive of each group A to D, havebuttons and LED, and can be for outputs or
inputs
I/O 17 to 24 inclusive of group A and B, have
LEDs only, and are normally used for inputs –
such as limit switches
I/O 17 to 24 inclusive of group C and D, have
no LED or button, and are used for inputs or
outputs that don’t need to be shown, like a
pulse meter

The Manual Panel displays can be configured to be:
Scale (for loadcell input) Counter (for meter pulse input(s))
Probe (for moisture probe input) None (blank display)

Manual Station Overview
The Manual Station displays are configured and calibrated by using the SETUP/CALIB buttons
as per the EZ-CAL operation manual (Maintain Buttons)
The scale parameters must be known, and Manual Station setup before calibrating
The loadcells need to be correctly identified and connected before calibrating
The system performs loadcell checks both during calibration, and at 10 minute intervals thereafter
Once installed, ideally leave the Manual Station switched on

Real Time Control : RTC OverviewThe RTC can be one of two types -
Lanner –
2 parallel ports
4 serial ports
2 network ports
5Vdc supply
Aaeon –
1 parallel port
4 serial ports
1 network port
12Vdc supply

RTC Overview
Connections for each type RTC –
Power from a separate power supply unit, either integral to the ManualStation in the case of the Aaeon RTC, or as a Power Supply Modulefor the Lanner RTC
Network use LAN2 port for the Lanner RTC, the LAN port for the Aaeon typeRTC. The RTC in either case can be part of the customer network,
or connect direct to the COMMANDbatch PC with its own NIC and acrossover cable
COM2 conventionally reserved for the serial connection to the ManualStation, but any of the serial ports can be assigned
COM1, 3, 4 used to interface items such as Remote Scale Displays
LPT1 or 2 rarely used, but can be utilised if two parallel printers are neededand the PC LPT1 port is in use. Can also be used for Spectrum v5conversions, where it connects to the phase V I/O box.

The system marks records that have been modified in some way (added, modified, deleted, etc.)by entering a code in the Record Number column of the grid.
The items that follow explain these modifications:
(d) indicates the record is being deleted. You will only see this code briefly whenyou confirm that you want to delete the record, then the code disappears.
(n) indicates that a new record is being added, but has not been saved.
(m) indicates that the record has been modified (edited), but not saved.
(e) indicates that the record contains one or more errors. You will not be able tosave the record before you correct the errors. Normally, a message explainsthe error(s) when you try to save a record with errors.

For the most part, filtering means limiting the number of records displayed in the grid area
However, you can filter on just about any field on a form
Filtering for All Records
Forms in COMMANDbatch are assigned default filters, which vary by form.
To override a form‟s default filter and view ALL records: Press [F4] twice
To return to a form‟s default filter: Press [F4] then [F3]
Note: Pressing [F4] twice doesn‟t work on the Batch Setup, Ticket Editor, andProductivity forms because these forms are filtered by date

Let‟s say you want to view all customers whose names begin with “H”. You would do the following:

In the Customer field, enter H*
Click the Filter button again
Customer names beginning with “H” are displayed in the grid portion of the form
To remove the filter and view all Customer records again, click the Filter button twice

The following procedure works on many forms in the system. For forms such as materials, mixdesigns, and orders, a Copy box appears so you can enter a new name for the record, specify
whether to copy prices, etc.
Let‟s say you want to copy a Customer record. Here is what you would do:
Open the Customers form
In the grid area at the left of the form, click the record to be copied
Select Customers > Copy at the top of the COMMANDbatch screen
A duplicate of the record is displayed with an (n) for new record, next to the recordnumber in the grid
Enter a new name for the record (the system will not let you save the copied recordwith the same name as the old one)
