Section 5.1 Status Messages
The following sections are listings of status messages generated by the System 5000 Die Protection
Module, firmware version 2.2. For each message an explanation of the cause is given.
Section 5.1.1 Main Menu Status Messages
One of the messages below will always be present in the status block beside the softkey labeled DIE
PROTECT on the Main Menu.
“All Conditions OK”
This message indicates that there are no faults currently detected by the Die Protection Module and
that it is not issuing a Stop command to the press control.
"Error Condition Exists"
This message indicates that an error has been discovered by the die protection module. The most
likely cause is that one of the die protection inputs did not react as its programmed type requires,
thus forcing a stop. It is also possible that an internal error has been discovered on the die protection
module unrelated to the die protection inputs or their external sensors. In either case, the operator
should go to the Die Protection Menu and examine the "Status" column on the upper half of the
screen. If one of the inputs has an "ERROR" status message in this column, the operator should use
the "VIEW CHANNEL" capability (see the “View Channel” heading of Section 2) to view the error
message. Input channel error messages are detailed in the “View Channel Status Messages” topic
later in this section. If no "ERROR" status is shown, the operator should use the "NEXT GROUP"
key to view inputs 9-16 and find the channel with the error.
"Communication Failure"
The die protection module communicates with the operator terminal through a serial communication
link. If the terminal loses communication with the module, this error will appear. If this occurs, the
operator should power down the unit, remove the connector card assembly, then remove the die
protection card from the rack. Reinstall the card in its slot, verifying that the card seats firmly into
its motherboard connector, then replace the connector card assembly and power up the unit. If this
does not correct the problem, verify that the wiring from the operator terminal to the power
connector module of the System 5000 is correct (terminals A through E).
"Option is NOT Installed"
This message indicates that the operator terminal has not been configured to accept the die protection
module. See the “Machine Parameters Configuration” topic of Section 4 for information regarding
configuration of the system for use of this module.
