The PM Module uses cam limit switches to determine press slide position.
(Figure 5.1 and Table 5.A). You set two independent cam limit switch
assemblies to the same settings so that:

run-on contacts are closed in the near bottom and upstroke zones
top-stop-check contacts are closed in the downstroke and near-bottom

zones

anti-repeat contacts open during mid-upstroke for at least 70ms. Set the

open span to the approximate number of rotational degrees (10

0 -

45

0

)

according to the speed of the press (1spm - 100spm).

The anti-repeat cam is not required while operating in inch or micro-inch
mode. However, before entering any operating mode, the PM module
checks that at least one cam limit switch is closed at any point in the
cycle.
