Getting Started with the GLOVEBOX
Powering up the GLOVEBOX
Verify the electrical service input requirements are met, and all power
connections are plugged in.
Verify the proper line pressures for all gases are correct and that all tube
connections are tight.
Check to see that the power connection is made.
Verify that all component circuit breakers are in the “OFF” position, and proceed
to energize the system by turning on the “CB1” main circuit breaker. Then turn
on all the remaining component circuit breakers.
Next turn on the computer power and log on to the system.
Powering down the GLOVEBOX
Stop all oven cycles.
Close down the Windows application software. Shut down the computer. Wait
for the computer to shut down.
De-energize the system by turning off the “CB1” main circuit breaker.
Next turn on the computer power and log on to the system.
Running the GLOVEBOX
Start the GLOVEBOX application
Double-click the GloveBox icon on the desktop to start up the GLOVEBO user interface. The
Login Window will be presented (see Figure 1 Login Screen ).
Log in using your assigned username and password.
Different user groups have different levels of access to the GLOVEBO system. The
administrator users can access all the GLOVEBO functions, whereas the operator users only
have access to very limited functions. The system is configured on shipment with a single
administrator account with user name of “admin”. Other user names can be added by starting the
GloveBox software and logging on to the system using this user name and the associated
password. The details are explained in the log on section.

Figure 1 Login Screen
GloveBox Status Window nformation
After entering a valid User Name and Password, the GLOVEBO application establish
communication with the system’s controller, which monitors and controls all GloveBox status.
Then it tries to turn on the oven temperature controllers and puts them in the standby mode.
The main Glovebox display window will be presented which has five pull down menu choices:
File, Logon, Glovebox, Batch and Help (see Figure 2).
The oven temperatures, oven vacuum pressures, enclosure pressure, moisture, Oxygen and
Helium levels are displayed on this window. If the communications with the Galil controller and
the oven temperature controllers are established successfully, these parameters are updated
dynamically.
In addition, the environment enclosure purging status (on or off), the left and right chamber
working statuses (Pumping Down, Backfilling or Standby), the chamber cleanness status (clean or
need pump down) and the inner/outer door statuses (open or close) are also updated dynamically
on this window.
At the bottom of this status window, there are four square-shaped alarms designed to alert the
operator of any unfavorable moisture, oxygen, helium and process conditions of the enclosure.
Under normal conditions, the color of these alarms is green. If any one of these four parameters
goes beyond the preset safe limits, the color of the corresponding alarm turns red.

Figure 2 GLOVEBO Main window and the GloveBox Status window.
At the upper center of the GloveBox status window is information on GloveBox
activities, controls and errors. f none of these are present or happening, this area
of the window is blank.
For each chamber, the status of the outer door and inner door is shown. If the outer door lock is
engaged, a closed lock icon is shown to the left of the graphical pressure level. If the outer door
lock is disengaged, the lock icon is open. If the inner door is closed, a graphical line is in the lower
position to the right of the graphical pressure level. If the inner door is not closed, then the
graphical line is above the lower position.
Run an oven Schedule
When the GLOVEBO program is started, as mentioned previously, the oven temperature
controllers are turned on and are put in the standby mode. The left or right oven can be started by
first selecting an oven schedule and then click the corresponding Start Oven button. To select an
oven schedule for the left or right oven, click the drop down list box under the Label “Left Oven
Schedule” or “Right Oven Schedule” and then highlight the schedule you would like to use. The

Document #107-00092-001 7
selected oven schedule will become active. If batch report is not active, the oven will start
immediately after the Start Oven button is pressed. If batch report is active, the user will be
promped to enter the operator name and batch id.
As soon as the oven is started, the text for the Start Oven button changes to Stop Oven. The
current segment number in the schedule and the time remaining for that segment are displayed in
the corresponding text boxes under the Stop Oven button.
An oven schedule is a series of programmed steps that complete an entire vacuum bake-out
process.
For a wall heated oven, there are four temperatures displayed just under the label “Left Oven
Temperatures” or “Right Oven Temperatures” for the left or right oven, each representing the
temperature of side (left or right), top, bottom and rear walls of the oven. The temperatures are
updated every second.
The oven stops when the oven schedule is done or when the Stop Oven button is pressed. The
text of the Stop Oven button changes back to “Start Oven” after the oven stops.
If the user presses the Start Oven Button when the selected oven schedule is empty, a message
will be issued telling the operator that the schedule is empty and ask the operator to select a
different oven schedule to run.
If an oven is currently running an oven schedule, any attempt to open the inner or outer door of
that oven is denied and a message is displayed. At the completion of the oven schedule, the
operator is allowed to open the oven’s inner door to pass the parts in the oven to the enclosure.
Access to the outer door is allowed only after the inner door is opened at least once at the
completion of an oven schedule.
If the oven is stopped prematurely by pressing the Stop Oven button, then access to either the
inner door or the outer door is allowed.
reate and Edit an Oven Schedule
An oven schedule defines the required oven states and the time duration for each state for a
particular bake-out cycle. The oven states in an oven schedule include oven temperature, oven
vacuum or backfill condition, and oven chamber vacuum pressure. Each oven state and its time
duration in an oven schedule are called a segment. Generally, an oven schedule contains one or
more segments.
A segment consists of four to five parameters depending on the Segment Condition parameter
setting. The first parameter in a segment is the Segment Number starting from one for the first
segment in the schedule. The second parameter is the Temperature Set Point in degree centigrade
for the segment. The third parameter is the Time Duration of the segment in hours. The fourth
parameter is the Segment Condition parameter. The Segment Condition can be set to Vacuum or
Backfill. The last parameter is the Vacuum Pressure Set Point, with pressure units of Torr, and is
only valid if the Segment Condition for the segment is set to Vacuum.
There is one more parameter in an oven schedule called Oven Control Method, which controls
how the time duration for each segment is calculated. This parameter can be set to one of three

Document #107-00092-001 8
choices; Time or Temperature or Temperature & Pressure. This parameter applies to all the
segments in a given oven schedule. If this parameter is set to Time, the time duration is counted
from the start of the oven schedule (for the first segment) or from the completion of the previous
segment (for segments other than the first segment). If this parameter is set to Temperature, the
time duration is counted from the time when the oven temperature, averaged over the oven walls
or heated shelves, depending on if the oven has wall or shelf heating, rises above the Temperature
Set point. If this parameter is set to Temperature & Pressure, the time duration is counted from
the time when both the oven temperature and pressure reach their respective set points.
Oven Type determines which type of oven the glovebox currently have. Depending on the types
of oven, there are usually 3-5 heating zones.
OverTemp SP Abort can be set to a certain temperature where the oven schedule will abort if the
oven temperature overshoots by the amount of the temperature value. To disable this feature,
simply put 0 as the temperature value.
Check the Batch Log to generate batch report for the selected schedule.
Oven Assignment determines which oven can use the selected schedule. Selecting all means all
ovens can use the schedule.
The following (Figure 3) is an example oven schedule containing one segment and the control
method is set to Time. The Segment Condition is set to Backfill for 1 hour and then Vacuum for
another hour.
Figure 3 Example Oven Schedule
Editing and Creating Oven Schedule
Oven schedules are created and edited using a visual schedule editor (Figure 4). The Schedule
Editor is accessed by clicking the “GloveBox” Main window menu, then select “Pump Down and
Oven Settings”. The user must have schedule editing “password rights” to be able to change the
oven schedule parameters or create new schedules.

Figure 4 Pump Down and Oven Settings Screen
Please note that the Oven Schedule Editor and the Pump Down Schedule Editor are both located
on the same USER INTERFACE SCREEN shown above.
To edit an existing oven schedule, first select the schedule by highlighting it in the Oven Schedule
list box located at the lower left part of the USER INTERFACE SCREEN. The selected oven
schedule is then displayed next to it on the right on the USER INTERFACE SCREEN. Each
segment in an oven schedule can be removed (deleted) or edited and a new segment can also be
added to the schedule using the Remove, Edit and Add buttons.
After you have made all the desired changes, click the SAVE button located at the bottom of the
Pump Down and Oven Settings USER INTERFACE SCREEN to save the changes to the oven
schedule.
Click the Save As button to generate a new schedule using with the parameters of the current
schedule.
The import button is used to create a new schedule from a .T T file created by user. The export
button is used to save as the selected schedule into a .T T file.
Click the View/Print button to display the schedule information as shown below. This can also be
used to print the schedule information.
