Programming
The WE-6 simulator and the WE-6 microcomputer are
capable of storing and running up to 39 cycles, each
limited to 51 steps.
The computer will not accept cycle numbers
G
higher than 39.
If an attempt is made to add a step to a cycle that
G
already contains 51 steps, the computer will
display "CYFULL" and refuse additional steps.
The front end-panel of the simulator holds the
RECEIVE and TRANSMIT ports for the optic cables
used in program transfers.
When transferring cycles from simulator to
G
computer or computer to simulator, the colored
plugs on the ends of the optic cables must match
the colors of the ports on the simulator and on the
washer-extractor's control module (gray to gray,
blue to blue).
If a mistake is made connecting the cables, the
G
display will flash "CONN" and "ERROR" when
the Enter key is pressed during the last step of the
cycle transfer process.
On the rear end-panel of the simulator are six toggle
switches used to simulate various normal operations of
the washer-extractor. Refer to Figure 12. These six
switches simulate or control the PROGRAM/RUN
modes, LOW LEVEL, MEDIUM LEVEL, HIGH
LEVEL, DOOR OPEN/DOOR CLOSED, and
BALANCE.

All the switches must be in the down position to
simulate a machine at rest.
If the PROGRAM/RUN switch is in the up
G
position, the simulator is placed in the Program
Mode.
If the LOW LEVEL switch is in the up position, a
G
low level water fill is simulated and the
appropriate LED on the display is illuminated.
The MEDIUM LEVEL and HIGH LEVEL
switches operate similarly.
When a cycle programmed in the simulator is
G
running, the level switches must be activated at
the appropriate times in the cycle to indicate to
the computer that the levels have been reached
and that the machine is empty.
If the DOOR OPEN/DOOR CLOSED switch is
G
flipped to the up position (DOOR OPEN) while a
cycle is running, the "DOOR" alarm will be
displayed.
If the BALANCE switch is in the up position
G
during the spin step or drain step of a cycle, an
out-of-balance condition is indicated to the
computer. (Refer to Balance Detection in the
Operation section of this manual in regard to the
drain step.)
The temperature probe (located on the rear end-panel
of the simulator) simulates sump temperature.
