The color status screen displays the status of the current color, previous color, next color and the current color change state. The displayed time is the total time to complete the color change. This time is calculated as the time between the last gun=off instruction and when the gun cleaner cycle complete signal is enabled.
Color status also displays the status of the current job in production, the current node and the current path. Table 1, " Color and Paint Status Items " lists the status items that are displayed.
This status screen will be displayed on all PaintTool systems whether or not the color change option is used. If the color change option is not used, the CC Time will be 0.0.
