4.2.3 Setup Mode Input
This parameter can be used to define how the system should detect that the press is in a setup mode, if
desired. The setting “Operator Selected” will result in a Toggle Setup Mode softkey on the Main
Screen, in order to allow an operator to easily inform the unit that the press is in a setup or production
mode. The setting “Hardware Input” defines Input 0 as indicating that the press is in a setup mode when
the input is switched to ground (ON). This input would typically be driven by an output from the press
control, and allows automatic detection of a setup mode. The setting “Not Used” will cause the system
to assume that the press is always in a production mode. Setup mode (if used), allows individual die
protection channels to be automatically bypassed and un-bypassed.
4.2.4 Log External Stops
A stop is considered External when the press stops and the cause is not coming from the System 2600.
Setting this parameter to “On” will cause these events to be recorded in the event log along with other
internal stops.
4.2.5 Inhibit Asserts Top Stop
In most cases this setting should be set to “Yes”.
Most stops triggered by the System 2600 are the result of captured conditions (such as a stock buckle
sensor being triggered) that must be reset by the operator to clear. This allows transient conditions to be
properly captured and diagnosed. However, some conditions, such as the RUN/PROG in the PROG
position, self-clear when the condition is resolved – in this case putting the RUN/PROG switch back in
the RUN position. This type of condition is referred to as a “Run Inhibit”, or just an “Inhibit”. In
particular, the die protection channel type “In Position Inhibit” can be used to prevent stroking of the
press until the logic is satisfied – at which point it self-clears. The typical case would be a very long
feed length that can’t complete in time to run the press continuously.
One complication is that some press controls have Top Stop inputs that also require a manual reset. If
using “In Position Inhibit” on these controls it would stop the process on every stroke and require a
manual reset on the press control by the operator. By setting this parameter to “No”, inhibit conditions
will not drop out the Top Stop relay. An output relay module can be added to the System 2600 that has
a separate output for inhibit conditions. If supported by the press control, it can be tied into the control
in such a way as to avoid resetting the press control on every stroke while preventing stroking if
asserted. Note that even if a separate inhibit output is used, the Top Stop relay of the System 2600 must
still be tied in the press control for actual latched Top Stop conditions!
4.2.6 Top of Stroke Angle
This setting allows the System 2600 to display “TOP” properly for Link Drive presses that have a top
dead center point that is not 0 degrees. The graphical angle indicator in the top left corner of the screen
will display “TOP” when stopped at plus or minus 5 degrees of the setting. For standard presses this
should be 0 degrees. Note that this has NO operational effect at all - this is purely for operator
convenience.
