Section 5.1.3 Manual Slide Movement
As noted in the section explaining the softkeys in the slide screen, the slide may be manually moved by
pressing the “JOG UP” and “JOG DN” softkeys. Note that the jog keys will only appear when the
editing cursor is on a slide adjust setpoint. These keys will work regardless of whether the slide system
is on, off, or in manual mode. Note, however, that these keys will not override the mechanical up and
down limit switches in the slide. In addition, these keys will not allow movement beyond the electronic
limits entered in the configuration screen for the slide unless the slide system is “OFF”.
Section 5.1.4 Slide Fault and Status
The last fault and current status of the slide system are displayed for diagnostic and informational
purposes. Under normal conditions “Fault” should be “None”. If there is a problem with the slide
system, it will be reported here. “Status” gives the current state of the system such as “In Position”,
Slide Low”, “Moving Up” etc. For the most part these messages will be self explanatory. See section 6
for a complete list of fault and status messages with explanations.
Section 5.2 Air System (Counterbalance, Cushion, and Hydraulic Overload) Operation
Counterbalances, cushions, and hydraulic overloads (at least the overloads the ASM supports) are all
controlled by air pressure and as such are grouped as “air systems”. Each configured air system has its
own “box” on the screen (see Figure 5.1). The title of the box has the air system name and the mode the
system is in (ON, OFF, or MANUAL). This box contains:
Pressure Set The desired pressure of the air system in psi. This number may be changed by
manual operator entry when the operator has access via key or user code
depending on the configuration of the system as detailed in section 2. It may also
be automatically changed to the required pressure setpoint for a previously stored
job when that job setup is recalled from memory and the air system is “ON”.
Die Weight Set For counterbalances only, the desired die weight to be counterbalanced by the air
system. This number may be changed by manual operator entry when the
operator has access via key or user code depending on the configuration of the
system as detailed in section 2. It will also be changed to the required die weight
setpoint for a previously stored job when that job setup is recalled from memory
and the air system is “ON”. This number can be set in pounds, kilograms, tons,
or metric tons depending on the configuration as detailed in section 4.2.1.
Cush Force Set For cushions only, the desired cushion force to be generated by the air system.
This number may be changed by manual operator entry when the operator has
access via key or user code depending on the configuration of the system as
detailed in section 2. It will also be changed to the required cushion force
