6.9 Installation Procedure
1) Position the press at the top of the stroke, turn power to the machine off, and install tonnage
monitor card in the enclosure. Make certain both knurled screws that hold the module in place
are tight (see section 6.1 on page 51).
NOTE: If this installation is replacing a System 1000, System 1100, or System
5000 tonnage monitor already installed on the machine, then write down
the present machine rating and cal. numbers before turning power OFF.
In addition to moving the strain gage wires to the new unit, for System
1000 and System 1100 tonnage monitors the stop signal from the old
unit must be removed and/or rerouted.
2) Locate and mount the strain gages, if not already installed on the machine (see section 6.6 on
page 55 and section 6.7 on page 57).
3)
Route conduit from the strain gages into the control enclosure that contains the tonnage
monitor.
NOTE: The conduit for the strain gages should be dedicated for strain gage
wiring only. Do not run wiring other than strain gage wiring in this
conduit without consulting the factory.
4) Wire strain gages to the connectors on the front of the tonnage monitor module (see section 6.8
on page 59).
5)
Power up the press control and use the press control configuration menus to turn the tonnage
monitor option ON (see section 4.1 on page 42).
6)
Exit to the Main Menu and select the TONNAGE MONITOR softkey. Verify that the channel
status indicates no errors for all channels.
7)
With the RUN/PROG switch in the PROG position, select the CONFIGURE softkey and
enter the configuration code.
8)
Select “Tonnage Monitor Machine Settings” (refer back to section 4.4 on page 44 and follow
from start to finish) and set each parameter for this specific installation. You may want to reset
the alarm counters while in this screen.
NOTE: If the number of channels for the tonnage monitor must be changed, then
make this change first as described in section 4.2 on page 42.
9) Select “Tonnage Monitor Calibration”. See section 7 on page 63 for the calibration procedure.
