LINK Systems 5100-8 Tonnage & Analog Signal Monitor - Manual (Page 8)

Doc #: L-802-1110 Page 6 Rev. 02
• Inside the monitoring region additional sets of high and low Limits (data windows) can be set to
become active at specific crankshaft angles. Up to four data windows can be programmed for each
job and can be used to monitor the tonnage of specific die features – for example, an individual
punch.
• A maximum allowable forward tonnage limit for the machine is established when the module is
installed, based on the capacity of the machine (Machine Rating) and cannot be turned off.
• If desired, additional limits can be placed on the total tonnage that reflects the maximum allowable
total tonnage at specific positions in the stroke.
• Limits can be programmed manually, automatically calculated by the Tonnage and Analog Signal
Monitor module, or recalled along with all other Link equipment settings through the use of job
setups.
• Status messages for each channel indicate the first alarm condition that occurred during the stroke.
• Low limits can be set to automatically bypass when in a setup mode, if desired. These limits are
then automatically restored when switching back to a production mode. This feature typically
eliminates the need to manually bypass all limits on the tonnage monitor and the associated risk of
forgetting to un-bypass it.
• If manually bypassing all limits on the tonnage monitor is needed, a setting is available that will
automatically un-bypass the tonnage monitor when switching back to a production mode.
• For each job, low limits can be set to automatically bypass when a bad or empty part is in the part
tracking registers.
• For each job, low limits can be set to automatically bypass for the first few strokes (user selected
number) to accommodate presses that “ramp up” to speed causing false low limit alarms on startup.
This setting also works in conjunction with the auto-setup feature to allow accurate setpoints in these
cases.
