SmartPAC 2 with WPC 2000 Integration User Manual 1128600
Introduction 1-5
• One-hand Control. A low-force switch that can be used with WPC 2000 running
One-hand/Two-hand/Foot firmware and equipped with a Shadow light curtain guarding the
point of operation. The One-hand Control switch can be mounted on or near the press,
allowing the operator to press the switch as part of his normal hand motion after loading a
part.
• Foot Switch. A device that frees the operator’s hands for increased, fully-guarded
protection and productivity. One-hand/Two-hand/Foot firmware is required, and a Shadow
light curtain must be installed.
• Bar Mode Control. Allows operators and setup personnel to bar the press by hand for die
setting and adjustment. Recommended for smaller-capacity presses of 65 tons or less.
• Automatic Single-stroke (External Trip). Allows feed equipment to signal WPC 2000 to
initiate a stroke upon completion of a feed. This option is useful in applications where the
feed must be completed before the press can be stroked.
• Automatic Continuous On-demand. Allows an external device to signal WPC 2000 to start
the press in Continuous mode and maintain operation in Continuous.
• Auto Compensated Top Stop (ACTS). A feature that automatically adjusts the Top-stop
“On” Angle to an earlier point in the stroke to compensate for increases in press speed.
ACTS is designed specifically for variable-speed presses. See Switch 4 – Enabling Auto
Compensated Top Stop (ACTS), page 4-37 for additional information about this feature.
• Multiple Operator Stations. Two Operator Stations can be connected directly to WPC
2000. If you wish to install more than two Op. Stations, contact Wintriss Tech. Support
(see Installing Multiple Operator Stations, page 2-21).
• Display Configuration Options. WPC 2000 is available without an enclosure. See
page 2-11 for installation instructions.
• Auxiliary E-Stop Output Relay Board. Allows up to three auxiliary devices such as a feed
or transfer to be stopped or prevented from starting when an E-stop button is pressed, a
light curtain is interrupted, or a cross-checked input is open.
If your WPC 2000 has Shadow light curtain muting firmware, you can prevent the auxiliary
E-stop relays from issuing a Stop command if the light curtain is interrupted during the
muted portion of the stroke by setting option switch 2 on switch block S102 on the WPC
HAZARDS EXPOSED BY NON-WORKING OPERATOR STATION
• Safeguard the point of operation exposed by the non-working Operator Station when
using multiple Operator Stations. The exposed area near a disabled Operator Station
must be properly guarded.
• Ensure that guarding is properly installed to prevent access to the machine over, under
or around any guarding device.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
Use light curtains in addition to multiple operator stations for best personnel safeguarding.
