The Production mode screen shall be the default screen for system operation and shall display all the normal operating parameters. The Maintenance mode screen shall allow the mechanic to bypass certain safeguards for troubleshooting and maintenance purposes and shall be password or key-switch protected to limit access.
6.4.1.6. External Devices. No devices shall be mounted on the outside of the main enclosure other than an Emergency Stop button, stack light LED, electrical cabinet, feed hoppers, and the HMI.
6.4.1.7. Comprehensiveness. All control loops, discrete on and off control functions, system indicators, permissives to start, interlocks, alarms, and shutdowns shall be wired as inputs and outputs to the PLC and shall be incorporated into the menus and/or screens of the HMI.

Grounding and Bonding of all parts with a surface area of greater than 400 square inches shall be accomplished by mating a compression lug to the metal frame of the equipment in question. The lug shall be crimped onto a 6 AWG or larger wire, or multi-strand cable of equivalent wire weight with no individual conductor of the multi-strand cable measuring less than 17 AWG. The other end of the wire will be attached to the nearest point of the Static Dissipation Subsystem (SDS) for the building, again using a permanent irreversible connection as appropriate. Conductive anti-oxidant shall be used between all joints. Paint shall be removed from all mating surfaces.
