Section 4 Installation
Section 4.1 Extended Card Rack
The Die Protection Module is designed for use in the Extended Card Rack of the System 5000. To
field install the Extended Card Rack (in systems which are not already equipped) first remove the
right end cover plate on the standard card rack, keeping the mounting screws and nuts for use in
securing the extended rack. Mounting holes must be drilled in the enclosure backplate for the
extended rack, using the mounting dimensions shown in the System 5000 Press Control Operating
Manual. The motherboard in the extended rack must then be plugged into the motherboard of the
standard rack using the DIN connectors mounted at the edge of each board. Once the extended
motherboard has been firmly plugged into the standard motherboard, the extended rack can be
attached to the backplate of the enclosure with mounting screws. Finally, the standard and extended
racks can be secured to one another using the mounting screws and nuts which originally held the
end plate in place.
Section 4.2 Module Installation
Power down the system and remove the cover panel over slot 3 (the centermost slot) of the extended
rack. Insert the die protection circuit card into the card guides at the top and bottom of the rack. The
card should be oriented with the red and green LED indicators near the top. When the card is fully
in the rack, press firmly to be sure that it is completely seated in its connector while using the latches
at the top and bottom of the card to lock it into place. The Die Protection connector card assembly
(the panel with terminal strip connections) should then be put into the rack and plugged into the
circuit card. Tighten the screw fasteners on the connector card assembly to hold it in place.
Section 4.3 Machine Parameters Configuration
In order for the OmniLink Operator Terminal to recognize and communicate with the Die Protection
Module, the Machine Parameters configuration setting for that module must be properly
programmed. This is evidenced by the fact that even after the Die Protection Module is physically
installed, the die protection status message (on the Main Menu of the operator terminal) still reads
"Option is NOT Installed". In order to access the Machine Parameters configuration, the operator
must follow these steps:
1. Turn the keyswitch on the Operator Terminal to the PROG position;
2. Select “PRESS CONTROL” from the Main Menu (Press Control menu is displayed);
3. On the Press Control menu, select the CONFIGURE softkey and enter the
Configuration Code. The P/C Config. menu is displayed.
4. Press the MACHINE PARAMETERS softkey. The Machine Parameters menu is
displayed.
5. Press the FACTORY CONFIG softkey. The Factory Parameters screen is displayed.
