Recipe data for the last three galvanization cycles
Error history
Last ten error codes with date and time; error counter
When the device is powered up, all the relevant data are read from EEPROM and are available for
program-internal use. If parameters are changed from the menu, the new values are in turn stored.
Recipe data are updated dynamically during preparation and during the galvanization process. The
error history is updated as errors occur.
To ensure the integrity of the data, the EEPROM is secured by a checksum mechanism. Integrity of
the data is checked each time the device is powered up. Any errors are reported to the used and
cannot be cleared except by servicing (see Section 11.1).
7.2 Details
7.2.1 Device-specific values
The device number is the serial number of the device. It is invariably 8 characters long and must agree
exactly with the number on the ID label at the back of the device.
Current-specific correction parameters, Current offset/Current factor, samples, Current offset/Current
factor, reference electrodeand Current offset/Current factor, power mode (channels 2/5)serve to
compensate for the device-specific deviations when converting electric current values (for individual
samples or for the reference electrode) in bit values.
The voltage correction parameter, Voltages offset, Samples serve to compensate for the device-
specific deviations when converting bit values to voltage differences (between the samples and the
reference electrode).
All correction parameters are specific correction factors.
They are determined at a special test station for and stored in EEPROM.
The device is shipped adjusted (delivery setting), ensuring that the device perform within the tolerance
range.
The X-position, rinsing cup and X-position, galvanization beaker position settings define the absolute
horizontal position (increments) of the slide head for lowering into the respective beaker. The criterion
for determining whether the target position is reached when lowering the head is the motor stop as the
head meets an obstacle. This ensures that the beaker is sealed by the slide during processing. The Y-
position, beaker is therefore not to be seen as an absolute position, but as a threshold. If the slide
meets an obstacle before the value is reached, the rim of the beaker is considered to have been
touched. In all other cases, the collision signal is considered to signal motor failure (see 11.2).
The encoder type defines the type of the built-in control knob (mechanical or optical). The fact that the
two are distinguished in the software ensures that they work analogously.
At delivery, this setting will correspond to the hardware installed (delivery setting). If a different
encoder is installed at a later time, a service technician may have to adjust the type setting.
The DAC type defines the type of the DA converter integrated on the control PCB. In order to be able
to react flexibly to the market situation for electronic components, two different types of this
component are supported. Since these differ in the way they are driven, the software looks for
information about the installed type at this EEPROM address. If a different PCB is installed later, a
service technician may have to adjust the type setting.
7.2.2 Hour counters
These counters represent the uptime of the entire device or of individual components. These are
regularly updated while the device is operative. Their value at delivery should not differ significantly
from 0.

7.2.3 Custom settings
The device has a multilingual user interface. The menu language is determined by the Language
parameter.
Supported languages are English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
The Contrast setting defines the LCD display contrast.
The Units setting defines the units for displaying temperatures and dimensions:
Default U.S.
Temperature °C °C (°F)
Measurements µm mm
7.2.4 Temperature control
The Temperature offset and Temperature factor correction parameters are used for converting the bit
values at the temperature sensor to a temperature value in°C.
The galvanization temperature is the required process temperature of the galvanization bath
expressed in 1/10°C.
The heating rate defines the maximum temperature increase in the galvanization bath over time during
the heating period in order to protect it from overheating and deposits.
7.2.5 Error history
The error history is a list with the last ten error codes with date and time including the error counter.It
is used for error tracing and problem-driven troubleshooting.
Possible error codes are listed in Section 11.The corresponding time stamp (date/time) is stored in
encode form. The data can be retrieved with a service command via the RS-232 port. The
corresponding error text is output automatically. By way of additional information, the absolute error
counter of the special error code 42 is also logged. Analysis can only be performed by authorized
service technicians.
Examples:
(1) Error History:
15-03-04 12:32:16: error code=41 (Invalid galvanization parameter. Start
current out of range.)
07-03-04 19:04:05: error code=32 (Error reaching clean position. Possibly no
glass on clean position.)
29-02-04 06:21:11: error code=20 (Incomplete recipe found in EEPROM. Previous
galvanisation terminated.)
16-02-04 17:48:55: error code=31 (Error reaching start position. Possibly no
glass on start position.)
13-02-04 08:37:49: error code=36 (Connection failure to all objects.
Galvanisation terminated.)
01-02-04 09:12:36: error code=52 (Error while writing data to EEPROM.)
11-01-04 14:07:00: error code=39 (Invalid galvanization parameter. Object
surface out of range.)
error counter (error code=42)=5

7.2.6 Process data
The process data of the last three recipes are stored in EEPROM. A recipe counter that is also
present in EEPROM defines the number of the last recipe applied, facilitating analysis of the relevant
data for errors and process failures due to power outages. The following process data are stored for
each object:

8.2.2 Current curve
For objects not exceeding the surface limits for object type 8, all electric currents during the process
are generated in normal mode. If this is not possible because of the operator’s surface selection,
Power mode is automatically selected, which allows a current output that is approximately four times
higher. The mode can be toggled using the sip service command. Current assignment rules for either
mode are found in the Appendix (see Sections 13.1and 13.2)
