The recent interlock issues have been induced by switch failures.
If you have a problem that you believe is interlock related, please do the following:
- Post in the “Issues and Requests” category tagging @team_interlocks
- Note the exact time of the failure, preferably to the nearest minute. If you don’t have your phone handy, there is a dandy ‘atomic’ (WWVB corrected) clock on the wall across from the Shark Lathe (outside of blacksmith area.) This lets us identify the issue in logs more quickly.
- swipe your badge on another interlock that should work and include that result in the post. This helps isolate interlock problems from network problems. If two don’t work, this a network issue is more likely.
And please swipe your badge when you are done working with a machine on any interlock to “lock out.”
