Automation 8000 NT Software Maintenance Tasks

The Automation 8000 NT Control Systems Software can also be configured to help with maintenance tasks. For instance, each flight bar, rack, or barrel can be assigned a number within the software, and its usage tracked. They may be assigned a predetermined number of uses before scheduled maintenance is to be performed. This allows off-line operations such as rack stripping, checking the electrical contact points, and tightening of screws. By setting up such a system, the software operator controlling the automation software can be alerted when a rack should be taken out of service.

Other control systems software maintenance tasks crucial to the operation of the equipment can be aided through the Automotion 8000 NT.

Chemical replenishment can be automated through the use of metering pumps or other similar means. The software can track chemical usage based on a number of criteria, such as amount of parts processed (square feet or centimeters), pH, conductivity, or other means.

Software options are available for simple "operator alerts", stating that it is time to make a manual replenishment (from a drum, for example). A typical example would be based upon pH.

Automatic additions of predetermined amounts of chemical can be controlled and monitored. A typical example might be based on conductivity.
