5-16 Program Mode
DIE PROTECTION (Optional)
(PROGRAM – GO TO THE TOOL MANAGER – select tool – F4-EDIT TOOL – DIE PROTECTION)
This item, which appears on the Tool Program Menu only when DiProPAC 8 or DiProPAC 16
is installed, enables you to program up to 8 or 16 die protection sensors. (When DiProPAC 32
is an installed option, this menu item is subdivided into DIPROPAC 1-16 and DIPROPAC
17-32 entries–see Programming DiProPAC 32 Sensors, page 5-31.) Settings are made via the
Die Protection Sensor Menu, which is shown in Figure 5-16.
Understanding Sensor Terminology
In order to make proper sensor settings on the SmartPAC 2 display, you need to be familiar
with basic sensor terminology. Terms that appear on sensor displays are explained in the
following sections.
Normally Open, Normally Closed
A normally open (N/O) sensor actuates (signals SmartPAC 2) when the sensor circuit to
SmartPAC 2 switches from open to closed-to-ground. N/O sensors are either “yellow” or
“green” (see page 5-18).
In a normally closed (N/C) sensor, the sensor circuit to SmartPAC 2 is closed to ground in its
normal state. The sensor actuates when the circuit opens. Normally closed sensors are “red”
(see page 5-18).
For help with the Die Protection Sensor Menu and screens accessible from it, press the HELP key
when the applicable screen is displayed.
