1.1 About the MilTouch™ Single Stage Press Controller
BNP1UB01.C01 0000219062 B.3 A.8 1/2/20 1:58 PM Released
The Milnor®MilTouch™ single-stage press controller uses a touch-sensitive display screen to op-
erate the machine. All the functions and information you need to configure, program, and run the
machine appear on this screen.
CAUTION: Excessive pressure — can damage the display screen.
�Do not push hard on the glass.
�Use only a finger to touch the glass. Do not touch the screen with a
tool.
Operators will use the MilTouch™ controller to operate the press. However, the MilTouch™ con-
troller also has features that are accessible when the machine is idle. These features will interest
specialists, such as service technicians who work with the machine. These features are the subject
of this manual. Refer to the operator guide for operator instructions.
The MilTouch™ controller contains several displays organized into a hierarchy. Top-most is the
Main Menu display (Figure 18: Press Main Menu Display, page 35 ). Each display contains but-
tons that access lower level displays.
The chapters in this manual are organized, not by display, but by types of specialist activity. Ex-
amples are given in the following table. For a hierarchal tour of the displays, see Section 1.1.1 :
The MilTouch™ Press Hierarchy of Displays, page 6.

Components
BNP1UB01.C02 0000219061 B.3 A.8 A.7 1/2/20 1:58 PM Released
This machine uses some non-Milnor®components that have their own manual, such as the inver-
ter. Although information about such components is not normally needed by the owner/operator
of a Milnor®machine, you can usually find information about these components in the manufac-
turer’s manual, which we include with the machine. You can also find related information in the
technical knowledge base on the Milnor®website (milnor.com/technical-knowledge-
base/bulletins/maintenance-2/) and on the manufacturers’ websites.

Personnel: Using the Door Interlock Bypass Key
Switch BNP1US01.C01 0000219059 B.3 A.4 1/2/20 1:58 PM Released
The hand-operated access doors on this machine are equipped with safety lockout switches that
disable the machine if a door is opened. The Door Interlock Bypass key switch permits a qualified
maintenance technician to bypass this safety feature during both manual and automatic operation.
This key switch, located inside the low voltage control box, is shown in the following figure.
Figure 1. Door Interlock Bypass Key Switch and Safety Placard
Set the Door Interlock Bypass key switch to the “Maintenance Only” position during required
maintenance procedures to allow access to certain moving parts.
DANGER: Moving components under power while the Door Interlock Bypass key
switch is in the “Maintenance Only” position — can crush or injure you.
To prevent serious injury or death, comply with, or ensure compliance with
the following:
�Never use the machine for normal operation with this switch in the
“Maintenance Only” position.
�Never use this switch to clear faults or for any operational function.
�Use this switch only if you are a trained, authorized service technician, and only when
performing maintenance that requires immediate access to moving parts normally
shielded by the doors.
�Always turn the switch to the “Safe Operation” position and remove the key before re-
suming normal operation or stepping away from the machine.
�Keep the Door Interlock Bypass key secured away from machine operators and all
other personnel who do not fully understand the results of using it.
�Keep all electrical and control cabinets closed and securely latched. Keep control cab-
inet keys away from untrained employees.

planation of Allied Interfaces, see manual MTPALI01 “Installation — Allied Interfaces for
Milnor®Automated Laundering System Machines.”
G = Allied Weight Inputs — This decision is only available if the press receives from an allied
device (configuration decision : F = Allied Receive, page 14 , is set to 1).
0no allied weight inputs. This is the default value.
1press receives weight information from a non-Miltrac™ controlled device via 12 allied weight
inputs (see Section 6.1.3.1 : Inputs, page 62). It requires an additional 8/16 board (address =
04H).
H = Add 1 to Allied Input — This decision is only available if the press receives from an allied
device (configuration decision : F = Allied Receive, page 14 , is set to 1), and only applies to cus-
tomer code and goods code inputs. Set this value to 1 if the allied output from your loading device
is offset by 1.
0No; allied inputs will be processed as received
1Yes; add one to the allied inputs values for goods code and customer code.
I = Allied Discharge — This decision sets the system protocol for discharging.
0press discharges to a Miltrac™-controlled device. This is the default value.
1press discharges to an allied (non-Miltrac™-controlled) device and sends batch data via allied
data-pass outputs.
J = Extra Data Pass — This decision is only available if the press receives from an allied de-
vice or discharges to an allied device (configuration decision : F = Allied Receive, page 14 , and/
or configuration decision : I = Allied Discharge, page 15 , is set to 1). Extra data pass requires an
additional 8/16 board (address = 03H). This provides 6 inputs for goods code, 6 inputs for cus-
tomer codes, 4 inputs for destination codes and 8 outputs for goods code.
0No; extra data pass is not required
1Yes; extra data pass is required
K = Network String Length — This decision (also known as Baud Rate, Bytes for Network,
and Number for Network) applies only to devices in a Milnet or Miltrac™ network.
NOTE: If you change the network string length (baud rate) on this machine (Mil-
Touch™ press), you must also change the network string length of the Miltrac™ (or Mil-
net) computer and every machine on the Miltrac™/Milnet link to the same value.

in industrial processing settings. A technician familiar with Miltrac™ device communication
may need to experiment with the baud rate setting.
96 = 9.6 kb/s; slowest, but most reliable communication rate
97 = 19.2 kb/s; somewhat favors reliability over speed
98 = 38.4 kb/s; average speed and reliability (recommended starting value)
99 = 57.6 kb/s; somewhat favors speed over reliability
NOTE: If your machine or system performance is poor at all available baud rates, con-
sult your dealer or a Milnor®technician using the information in Section 1.1.3 : How to
Contact Milnor®, page 8.
L = Miltrac Address — If either configuration decision : F = Allied Receive, page 14 , or con-
figuration decision : I = Allied Discharge, page 15 , is disabled (set to 0), the single stage press is
a Miltrac™ device requiring an address. This address must be three digits and unique in the Mil-
trac™ system. Refer to the Miltrac™ manual for additional details.

N = Hold Receive Device — This decision applies only if Miltrac™ discharge is enabled
(configuration decision : I = Allied Discharge, page 15 , is set to 1). To determine the correct re-
sponse to this decision, ask “Should the Device receiving goods from the single stage press wait
for more than one load before moving?” For example, respond 1 if the receiving conveyor should
wait for two or more loads before transferring to a multi-cake dryer. Refer to the Miltrac™ con-
troller reference manual for more information.
0No; multiple cake discharge is disabled. The press always ends the discharge sequence with
the Miltrac™ state I'm Finished, Do Not Hold.
1Yes; multiple cake discharge is enabled. The press continues receiving new batches and dis-
charging them to the receiving device until it loads a single cake or receives the Miltrac™
command “You're Finished, Do Not Hold.”
O = Ignore Single Cake — This decision causes the press to ignore the single cake flag, and
applies only if the press is configured to hold the receiving device (: N = Hold Receive Device,
page 16 ). Correct operation of this decision requires that the Miltrac™ controller ignore single
cake flags at the x-coordinate of the receiving device. Refer to the Miltrac™ controller reference
manual for more information.
0No; all single cake flags set the Miltrac™ state of the press to “I'm Finished, Do Not Hold.”
1Yes; if the Miltrac™ controller is properly configured, the press controller will ignore the sin-
gle cake flag.

Q = Receive Device Load Direction — This decision applies only if Miltrac™ discharge is
enabled (configuration decision : I = Allied Discharge, page 15 , is set to 1).
0the receive device runs forward when the single stage press discharges to it. This is the
default.
1the receive device runs in reverse when the single stage press discharges to it
R = Receive Device Load Level — This decision applies only if Miltrac™ discharge is en-
abled (configuration decision : I = Allied Discharge, page 15 , is set to 1). Enter the level at which
an elevating device accepts a cake from the single stage press. The valid range is 0 to 7. Refer to
the Miltrac™ controller manual.
NOTE: The term COINC in the following configure decisions refers to the inclined
conveyor that the press discharges to and which is operated by the press controller.
S = Synchronize COINC Transfer — This decision is only available if the press is config-
ured for a discharge conveyor (configuration decision : E = Discharge Conveyor, page 14 , is set
to 1).
0the COINC will prepare to transfer as soon as it receives a cake
1the COINC will prepare to transfer (i.e., wait to display “Want to Transfer”) only when it has
a cake and the main press is prepared to transfer. This allows the shuttle to take two cakes
without waiting. If either the COINC cake or the main press cake is a single cake or the two
cakes are incompatible (based on Compatibility decision), the press will display “Want to
Transfer.”
T = Compatibility — This decision is only available if configuration decision : S = Synchron-
ize COINC Transfer, page 17 , is enabled (set to 1). Enter either a 0 or 1 for each type of goods
data, in the following order: formula, dry code, destination code, customer code, goods code.
0compatibility is not required for this type of goods data
1compatibility match is required for this type of goods data
You must enter all 5 digits as one value, then touch Enter. For example, if Formula= 1, Dry
code= 1, Destination code= 1, Customer code= 0, and Goods code= 0, enter 11100 in the box and
then touch Enter.

NOTE: Field experience indicates that the best value for this decision is about 4 sec-
onds. This time usually allows the water to drain from the press load chute before the ram
moves down. The reference manual for the Mentor®controller describes the interaction
between this configure decision and the “Pause at Top Dead Center” rotation timer.
V = Belt Run Time After Discharge — Set this value to the time (in seconds) for the belt to
run after the cake clears the eye. Belt runs for 2 seconds if this value is less than 2.
