On the Factory Parameters screen, one of the parameters displayed is Die Protection. Use the down
arrow key to move the cursor to the Die Protection parameter and enter one of the following values:
Value Description
001 Die Protection enabled; Bypass of die protection is allowed in all stroking
modes (if operator has access control for this feature)
002 Die Protection enabled; Bypass mode allowed in all stroking modes except
Continuous (e.g., when Continuous stroking mode is selected, the die
protection module will be forced out of Bypass). Activation/deactivation
of Bypass in other stroking modes requires that operator have access
control.
(Refer to Section 2.9 for a description of the use of Bypass mode on the module.) Once a value is
entered for the Die Protection parameter, the operator can then exit back to the Main Menu
whereupon the die protection status area should display a different message than the “Option is NOT
installed” message.
Section 4.4 Wiring
All inputs to the Die Protection Module have internal pullups such that if an input is left unconnected
it will go to the HIGH state (the inactive state) and will be read as HIGH on the Operator Terminal
screen. Any input can be activated by connecting it to ground, which will be read as LOW on the
Operator Terminal screen. Any sensor or probe to be used with the die protection module should
be designed so that when it is active it connects the input to ground. For example, if a limit switch
is used as an input device, one side of the switch should be connected to machine ground (frame)
and the other side of the switch should be wired to an input of the die protection module. If a sensor
with a solid state output is to be used (such as a proximity switch), the output of the sensor should
be of the current sinking type (NPN, Open Collector) to sink current from the die protection input
to ground.
