Definitions

  • the present invention relates to document inserters, and more particularly to multi-station document inserters.
  • Known multi-station document inserters employ discrete elements with individual module display lights to indicate a malfunction. When such lights are lighted, the operater must check the appropriate module in an attempt to determine the cause of the malfunction Further, once the inserter configuration is fixed, the inserter must be rewired to change its operation.
  • apparatus for providing a user friendly central control display in a multi-station document inserter comprising:
  • a method and associated apparatus for providing a user friendly central control display for a multi-station document inserter, comprising the steps of interconnecting a central control display to the inserter, displaying inserter operating functions on the central control display, activating the inserter through the central control display to perform programmed inserter operating functions, and displaying fault locations and descriptions on the central control display in human readable form.
  • the inserter operator can also reconfigure the inserter through switches in the central control display.
  • a multi-station document inserter is illustrated as 10.
  • a central control display 12 is electrically connected to the inserter 10.
  • the central control display 12 is a finger touch display, such as Fluke Model 1780A InfoTouch Display.
  • Both the multi-station document inserter 10 and central control display 12 are of the type disclosed in copending U.S. patent application Serial No. 394 388 filed on 1st July 1982 in the names of Peter N. Piotroski and John M. Gomes, European Patent Application Number (E59/13), entitled UNIVERSAL MULTI-STATION DOCUMENT INSERTER, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
  • the central control display 12 is electrically connected to the supervisory control circuit of the multi-station document inserter 10 through a RS232C standard communication line.
  • the central control display 12 provides an operator or user with certain switches which when activated cause the inserter 10 to undergo certain routines and provide displays in human readable form.
  • th E central control display 12 is shown with certain information displayed upon Power U p. Specifically, the following switches are displayed:
  • the display shall display information enabling the operator to determine:
  • a maintenance reminder message is displayed upon the first power-up after one million cycles. Thereafter, the reminder message is displayed after each subsequent power-up until cancelled by the service technician.
  • Fault description e.g.:
  • Reset, Modify, Reassign, Diagnosis and Reset Piece Count switches are displayed. Further, as seen in Fig. 5 B , upon display of the foregoing information regarding the configuration of the inserter 10 the user-operator may reprogram the supervisory control circuit to reconfigure the inserter 10 by actuating the Modify switch and a particular station number for re- display of the foregoing information as well as the following switches:
  • the supervisory control circuit of the inserter 10 under control of the program in the Microfiche Appendix provides the aforementioned displays of operating functions and switches on the central control display 12 for interaction with the inserter user-operator.
