Abstract
The fabrication of magnet wire in an 'in-line' drawing-enameling process is monitored by a local operator control station having an alarm display format screen stored therein for operator call-up via a remote controller for displaying a plurality of alarmed parameters in a time ordered sequence. The local operator station includes a local signal processor, a keyboard, a display and an input/output port. The remote controller includes a remote signal processor, a digital input/output device, and a plurality of modular cassette tape players. The first to occur alarm is sensed and is verbally annunciated while, at the same time, the alarm signal is stored and time tagged. If one or more alarms subsequently occur, an operator may wish to determine the nature of these later occurring alarms and the exact sequence in which the alarms occurred. The operator simply calls up the alarm display format via the keyboard at the local station and a display is presented in which the alarms are displayed in the order in which they occurred. The remote controller is located in an out-of-the-way location so as to efficiently utilize floorspace while at the same time controlling a large number of parameters in one main controller unit.
