If the monitor detects a process fault, a stop signal will be sent to the press control. There are two types
of stops than can be assigned to an individual channel - Immediate Stop or Top Stop.
The programmable limit switch can be used to drive and/or time automation systems in the stamping
process such as:
• Feeds
• Transfer systems
• Lube systems
• Robotic systems
• Air blow off
• Part diverters
• Gagged tools
1.1 Features
• Storage for 500 jobs of settings associated with the standard and optional functions of the
system.
• The unit can be operated in English or Spanish language. The language can be switched at any
time (including while the press is running) with a softkey that is always present in the upper right
corner of the display.
• Extensive and flexible security is provided for setting parameters and resetting faults. This can
be based on having the RUN/PROG key, passcodes, or both. With optional communications
card, it can even be based on RFID cards or fingerprint readers.
• Additional auxiliary inputs can be configured for such things as indicating setup mode.
• Six die protection inputs are supplied. Each input is individually configurable on a job-by-job
basis for NPN or PNP sensors, channel logic parameters, and a user supplied description.
• Each die protection channel can be individually set on a job-by-job basis to automatically bypass
when in a setup mode (and un-bypass when not in setup mode), if desired. This feature can
eliminate the need to manually bypass all channels when setting up the die and the associated
risk of forgetting to un-bypass them.
• Extensive diagnostics are supplied showing in real time where in the stroke sensors are actually
detected both graphically and in numeric form. After a stop, not only the last stroke but several
previous strokes can be viewed. This allows the actual condition that caused a stop to be viewed
in cases where higher speed presses take more than one stroke to stop. An “Overlay” mode can
also superimpose multiple strokes on the screen so that sensor hit-to-hit variation can be directly
viewed an adjusted for.
• If bypassing of the entire unit is needed or desired, a setting is available that will automatically
un-bypass it when switching back to a production mode.
