1126700 SmartPAC 2 User Manual
1-6 Introduction
• Short feed sensors—Used to ensure that material is contacted at the fully advanced
position.
• Overload sensors—Used to prevent expensive die damage due to overload from slugging,
material thickness variations, broken tooling, etc.
• Die overload sensors—Designed to detect minor changes in shut height.
• Buckling sensor—Used to detect material buckle.
• End of material sensor—Signals when material has run out.
• Probes—Three types are available for diverse applications.
ProCamPAC Programmable Cams
The optional ProCamPAC module enables you to connect up to eight or sixteen cam channels
to your equipment. ProCamPAC consists of a PC board that you install in your SmartPAC 2
and a separate assembly that contains the relays that open and close on signals from
SmartPAC 2. Different types of relays can be used depending upon the voltages of your
equipment and your special needs. Refer to Chapter 2 for details on wiring the cam channels.
SmartPAC 2’s Three Modes of Operation
SmartPAC 2 has three operating modes, each of which allows you to perform specific tasks.
• Initialization Mode. Used to create settings that control operation of SmartPAC 2 when
any tool is loaded such as the zero position of the resolver, global cams, and auto advance
constants. Initialization settings generally only need to be made once. Initialization mode
is discussed in detail in Chapter 4.
• Program Mode. Used to create, modify, and load settings that control SmartPAC 2
operation for a specific tool such as sensor and cam timing and counter presets. You cannot
use this mode while the press is running. Instructions for using Program Mode are
provided in Chapter 5.
• Run Mode. Used to operate the press and make adjustments to programmed settings such
as sensor and cam timing. You can also load tool settings in Run mode. Run mode is
discussed in Chapter 6.
PROGRAMMABLE CAM SWITCH NOT FOR SAFETY USE
Use SmartPAC 2’s programmable cam switch to control auxiliary functions only. The SmartPAC 2
programmable cam capability should never be used to provide timing signals for any safety use
including clutch/brake control or muting of light curtains.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
