Section 2 Operation
Section 2.1 Main Menu Status Block
When the Main Menu is displayed on the System 5000 Operator Terminal, one of the softkeys on
the right side of the screen is labeled DIE PROTECTION. To the left of this key is a status block
indicating the current operating status of the die protection module. Under normal operating
conditions the status message will read "All Conditions OK". If the status message reads "Error
Condition Exists" then a failure has been detected on one of the die protection inputs or a fault exists
internal to the module itself. When this is the case the operator must go to the Die Protection Menu
to reset the error or proceed to view the error message. If the status message reads "Communication
Failure" then a problem exists in the serial communication link between the operator terminal and
the die protection module (see “Main Menu Status Messages” in Section 5). If the status message
reads "Option is NOT Installed", the system may not be configured for die protection. (Refer to
“Memory Configuration Requirements” in Section 4 for further details).
Section 2.2 Die Protection Menu
By pressing the DIE PROTECT softkey on the Main Menu, the LCD screen will display the Die
Protection Menu (see Figure 2.1). The label "Die Protection” is displayed above the softkeys in the
upper right corner. The softkeys available from this screen are labeled CAPTURE INPUTS, LIMIT
SWITCH, RESET ERRORS, and EXIT. When the user has obtained access control other softkeys
that may appear are CHANGE TYPE, CHANGE SETTINGS, CHANGE NAME, and BYPASS
ON/OFF. (Softkeys that appear when access control has been obtained are shown as highlighted in
Figure 2.1). The function of these keys is described in the sections following. Access control is
explained in Section 2.3. On this screen as on all others, the top of the screen is used for displaying
crankshaft angle, crankshaft speed, and the present stroke mode. The remainder of the screen is used
for displaying specific information about the die protection inputs.
