3.1.7.1 Key Only Mode
The “Key Only” mode is the least complex of the four modes. This mode employs the RUN/PROG
key as the only method to limit access to restricted items. Any user with the RUN/PROG key can
access all of the restricted items. Without the RUN/PROG key, user access to all of the restricted items
is prohibited.
Although the “Key Only” mode has the advantage of being easy to use, it does have a disadvantage.
This mode cannot give a particular user access to only some of the restricted items. When operating in
this mode, any user with the RUN/PROG key will have access to all of the restricted items.
3.1.7.2 Key or Password Mode
The key or password mode allows for either of two methods to gain access to the restricted items. A
user with RUN/PROG key can access all of the restricted items. A user with the correct password can
access the restricted items that have been designated for that particular user only. The system allows for
passwords to be assigned to sixteen users. Each user can be assigned access to any or all of the
restricted items.
The following is an example of a “Key or Password” mode operation. The RUN/PROG key is given to
the die set-up personnel. A press operator is assigned a user name and password. With the password
the operator can reset die protection faults. This is the only die protection related item to which the
operator has access. In order to load a die, the set-up personnel will use the RUN/PROG key to recall a
job from job storage. The set-up personnel will also be able to make changes to die protection settings.
Once the set-up personnel sets the die and verifies its correct operation, the operator is left to run the die.
If a die protection fault occurs, the operator can enter the correct password and then reset the fault.
However, the operator cannot change die protection settings. This will allow the operator to keep
running the job and reset faults that occur. However, if consistent stops occur because a die protection
setting needs changing, the set-up personnel must be called to change it.
The example above can be taken one additional step if two press operators are given different user
names and different passwords. One operator can be assigned the ability to change die protection
settings in addition to the ability to reset faults, while the other operator is not assigned the ability to
change the settings.
3.1.7.3 Password Only Mode
The “Password Only” mode allows for sixteen users. Each user can be assigned access to some or all of
the restricted items. This mode does not use the RUN/PROG key.
The example listed above indicated that setup personnel required access to all restricted items. In the
“Key or Password” mode, the setup personnel used the RUN/PROG key to gain access to all of the
restricted items. In the “Password Only” mode, the setup personnel can still have access to all of the
restricted items, but the system must be configured as such. The setup personnel must be assigned a
user name and password. In addition, all restricted items would be assigned access to the setup
personnel.
