LINK Systems LinkNet II - Manual (Page 79)

Section 7 Using the OmniLink 5000 with LinkNet (Monochrome OIT)
The OmniLink 5000 press automation control gains some powerful new capabilities when combined
with LinkNet. The OmniLink 5000 will work the same way it always has, but with a few additional
screens and softkeys.
7.1 Configuring the OmniLink 5000 for LinkNet (Monochrome OIT)
Before the OmniLink can communicate with LinkNet, it must be assigned a machine number.
No two machines may have the same machine number or a machine number of 0!
Since LinkNet shares a single cable
with all machines on the network, the
machine number is used by LinkNet to
call out the machine it wants to “talk” to.
Figure 7.1: OmniLink (Monochrome) Main Configuration Screen
• From the main screen (the screen the
OmniLink powers up in), select the
“PRESS CONTROL” softkey.
• With the Run/Prog keyswitch in the
“Prog” position, push the “CONFIG”
softkey. Note that this softkey will
not be present unless the unit is in
program mode. After entering the
access code, a screen similar to
Figure 7.1 should appear.
Figure 7.2: OmniLink (Monochrome) Configuration Screen
• Push the softkey for “OPERATOR
TERMINAL”. A screen like Figure
7.2 should appear.
