Switch 3 – One-hand Control or Foot Switch Mode
NOTICE
After you change switch settings, power down the SmartPAC 2/WPC. Power it up again to
enable the new settings. If you do not this, the previous switch settings will remain in effect.
If you are using either the One-hand Control switch or Foot switch, Switch 3 changes
functionality of one of these options installed with your WPC.
In One-hand mode, the One-hand Control switch can be used instead of the operator station
to single stroke the press. When Switch 3 is set to “CLOSED,” this activates Light Curtain
Break mode, so that the press runs only after you remove your hands from the light curtain
and push the One-hand Control switch within eight seconds. Otherwise, the press will not
start. The light curtain must be broken again before you can initiate the next stroke. When
Switch 3 is set to “OPEN,” One-hand Control is enabled all the time, just like the One-hand
Control on your operator station. This allows you to initiate a single stroke every time you
push the One-hand Control switch.
If you are using Foot Switch mode, Switch 3 enables either Foot Trip or Foot Control. Set
Switch 3 to “OPEN” for Foot Trip, so the press runs for one stroke after you depress the Foot
Switch. Set Switch 3 to “CLOSED” for Foot Control. In Foot Control, you must depress and
hold the Foot Switch through the Auto Carry-up Angle to single stroke the press. If you release
the Foot Switch early, the press stop command is issued immediately.
Set Switch 3 in the Press Control Option Switches screen, Figure 4 - 33, page 241.
