linear or rotary transducer mounted on the slide system of the press. The
units for the position can be in inches or millimeters depending on the
configuration. See section 4.2.2 for details.
Fault
If the slide adjust system detects an error it will be reported on this line. A
fault occurs when a hardware or firmware problem is diagnosed by the
system. See section 6 for fault messages and their meanings.
Status
The current status of the slide adjust system. Status messages indicate
what the system is doing in the normal course of its operation. See section
6 for status messages and their meanings.
Section 5.1.1 Slide On, Manual, and Off Settings
The Auto-Setup module allows three modes of operation to be chosen in the configuration menu
for each slide adjust system - “ON”, “MAN” (manual), or “OFF”. ON is the proper mode for the
normal intended use of the system.
The operator or setup person cannot change the mode in the operation screen but the setting is
reported at the top of the slide adjust box after the slide name (“Slide Adjust #1" or “Slide Adjust
#2") for convenience.
The mode setting affects the operation of the slide system in the following ways:
“ON”
Jobs that are recalled will automatically move the slide to the position
stored in the job subject to the conditions described in Section 5.1.2. The
AUTO ADJUST softkey can be used to initiate automatic movement of
the slide to the currently programmed setpoint. The JOG UP and JOG DN
softkeys can be used to manually move the slide.
“MAN” (manual)
This mode can be chosen if there is some reason the employer does not
want to allow recall of previously stored job setups from memory. The
slide position will not automatically change when a job is recalled. The
slide setpoint can still be changed by manual entry of the desired setpoint
and by pressing the AUTO ADJUST softkey to initiate an auto adjust
sequence. The JOG UP and JOG DN softkeys can be used to manually
move the slide.
“OFF”
The slide position will not automatically change when a job is recalled.
No automatic movement will occur even if the AUTO ADJUST softkey is
pressed. The JOG UP and JOG DN softkeys will still move the slide.
This mode is provided to allow temporary reversion to completely manual
adjustment of shut height by use of the JOG UP and JOG DN softkeys if
the slide mounted transducer fails.
