Continuous Mode
When you want to run your press continuously, ready the press as
follows for starting from any position in the press cycle:
•select continuous mode
•press the arm continuous button (Figure A.4) if you have this feature
•press all active Run buttons within 5 seconds (within the preset time)
In first downstroke, releasing a Run button stops the press (Figure A.5).
If the slide has not entered the upstroke zone, you can resume
downstroke within 5 seconds of pressing the Arm Continuous button.
(The Arm Continuous preset could be less than 5 seconds.)
After 5 seconds (the press is stopped), you must restart continuous
mode with the arming sequence.
If the slide entered the upstroke zone the first time and your press
does NOT have stroke-and-a-half (Figure A.6):
•when both TCAMs come on, you may release a Run button and
the press will continue stroking
If the press is configured for stroke-and-a-half:
•continue holding the Run buttons until the press runs through
downstroke a second time
•releasing a Run button early in downstroke stops the press,
and first downstroke conditions apply
•releasing a Run button during first upstroke stops the press
when it reaches the top
Once in continuous stroking operation, the press stops at the next near-top
position whenever it receives a stop-on-top command (Figure A.7).
However, the press stops immediately whenever:
•either processor detects a trip or stop condition
•a required condition or command bit is removed
•an operator presses the E-stop button
