Introduction 1-1
Chapter 1. Introduction to SmartPAC 2
SmartPAC 2 is a smart modular interface for multiple press automation functions including
die protection and programmable cam switch. Every SmartPAC 2 provides a control-reliable,
resolver-based brake monitor and extensive counter capabilities. Because SmartPAC 2 is
microprocessor-based, it can monitor or control a variety of functions on every stroke even for
very high-speed presses. SmartPAC 2 features a large, bright color display, a numeric keypad,
and easy-to-use keys to program and run your press. SmartPAC 2 can be connected to a
computer network, enabling press operation to be monitored remotely and e-mail messages to
be sent from the SmartPAC 2 control.
SmartPAC 2 can be configured with the following options:
• Up to 32-sensor die protection system
• Up to 16-channel programmable cam switch
• Up to 16-sensor in-die measurement system
• Solid-state dual-microprocessor-based clutch/brake control
• Two- or four-input load monitoring
• Automated shut-height and counterbalance control
• Automated press speed and lubrication control
• Servofeed interface
In addition, SmartPAC 2 can be linked to Wintriss’s ShopFloorConnect Asset Utilization
Software (SFC) or Line Efficiency Tracking Software (LETS) for data collection, analysis
and reporting.
SmartPAC 2 Standard Features
SmartPAC 2 brings a multitude of press automation functions to one central location. The
following capabilities are standard features:
• All settings are made at the operator console, using SmartPAC 2’s keyboard and large,
bright, color display
• All tool programming is automatically saved in SmartPAC 2’s non-volatile memory. To
use the same settings when you run the job again, simply re-load your stored tool number.
SmartPAC 2 can save settings for up to 200 tools.
• SmartPAC 2’s built-in brake monitor constantly checks brake wear by measuring stop time
whenever the press stops and displaying that value in milliseconds. SmartPAC 2 also
displays the number of degrees that it took the press to stop.
• Fault messages appear on the SmartPAC 2 display whenever the press malfunctions,
counter presets are reached, or stopping/starting times exceed set limits. An error/event log
maintains a record of the last 100 errors and events.
• SmartPAC 2 is Ethernet-ready, allowing the control to be connected to any computer
network. Network connectivity allows press operations to be viewed remotely via the
SmartView utility and e-mail messages, containing diagnostics and error log information,
to be sent from the SmartPAC 2.
