The legacy functionality of the XL100 and XL200 was that the first coil in the controllers coil inventory was the Current Coil. Now that we have changed when the operator is prompted to deal with Tail-outs to the Tail-Out event rather than the Tail-In event, this legacy code is causing confusion.

The customer who complained, for some reason, unloads the machine every night at end of shift. They are prompted what happened to the coil and many times, it stands to reason, they will say return to inventory. It also stands to reason that they may load the same coil again in the morning.

When the coil tails out and the operator selects to return the coil to inventory, there will be at least one coil in the XL's inventory. Then the coil load prompt is displayed. If the operator selects cancel, the controller is then setting the current coil to the first coil in inventory, which may very well be the coil they indicated that they unloaded. Then in the morning, when a coil tails in, they are asked again what to do with a coil they already indicated that they unloaded, which could also be the coil they are loading again. Not confusing at all(sarcasm added).

To eliminate this confusion the software will no longer automatically set any coil to the current coil. The user will always need to explicitly tell the controller when a coil is the current coil.

A Tail-out was inconsistent about prompting for a new coil. If the previous coil was returned to inventory it would prompt. If the coil was completely used it would not prompt.

The software has been modified to never prompt for a New Coil on Tail-Out, unless a coil has tailed back in prior to the operator processing the Unload Current Coil prompt.
