Section 3.1 OmniLink II Press Automation Control LCD Operator Terminal
The OmniLink II Operator Terminal features a 9.2” diagonal color TFT liquid crystal display (LCD)
with high brightness and large viewing angle, a keypad, and a Program/Run keyswitch. The large
display allows far more information to be shown on one screen than smaller ¼ VGA LCD displays,
allowing fewer screens to be used to program system settings and view information in a system that has
a multiplicity of functions. Unlike monochrome LCD displays, the color display can be used to call
operator attention to fault or other messages through color highlighting. This, in conjunction with its
softkey driven menu system and help messages provides easy to use operation.

Figure 3.1 shows the operator terminal front panel with the Main Screen selected on the display. The
color liquid crystal display (LCD) is divided into fixed areas. Crankshaft position and current stroking
mode of the press are displayed in the upper left hand corner of the color LCD screen. This angular
position of press crank or eccentric is displayed in both graphical and numeric format. For speeds less
than sixty strokes per minute, the pointer, which is enclosed in a circle, will rotate to visually indicate
the angular position of the crankshaft. For eccentric and crankshaft driven presses, the top dead center
of the stroke is equal to 0 degrees. The bottom dead center of the stroke is always 180 degrees. In
addition to the rotating pointer, there is a rectangular box enclosed in the circle. When the slide is
stopped within +/- 5 degrees of top, this box will be green with the letters “TOP”. When the slide is
