in this mode, any user with the Program/Run key will have access to all of the restricted items.
Section 2.3.2 Key or Password Mode
The key or password mode allows for either of two means to gain access to the restricted items. A
user with Program/Run key can access all of the restricted items. A user with the correct password
can access the restricted items that have been designated for the particular user’s access only. The
system allows for passwords to be assigned to sixteen users. Each user can be assigned access to
any or all of the restricted items.
The following is an example of a “Key or Password” mode operation. The Program/Run key is
given to the die set-up personnel. A press operator is assigned a user name and password. With the
password the operator can reset die protection faults. This is the only die protection related item
to which the operator has access. In order to load a die, the set-up personnel uses the Program/Run
key to recall a job from job storage. The set-up personnel will also be able to make changes to die
protection settings. Once the set-up personnel sets the die and verifies its correct operation, the
operator is left to run the die. If a die protection fault occurs, the operator can enter the correct
password and then reset the fault. However, the operator cannot change die protection settings or
bypass the die protection. This will allow the operator to keep running the job and reset faults that
occur. However, if consistent stops occur because a die protection setting needs changing, the set-up
personnel must be called to change the die protection setting.
The example above can be taken one additional step, if two press operators are given different user
names and different passwords. One operator can be assigned the ability to change die protection
settings in addition to the ability to reset die protection faults, while the other operator is not
assigned the ability to change the die protection settings.
Section 2.3.3 Password Only Mode
The “Password Only” mode allows for sixteen users. Each user can be assigned access to some or
all of the restricted items. This mode does not use the Program/Run key.
The example listed above indicated that setup personnel required access to all restricted items. In
the “Key or Password” mode, the setup personnel used the Program/Run key to gain access to all
of the restricted items. In the “Password Only” mode, the setup personnel can still have access to
all of the restricted items, but the system must be configured as such. The setup personnel must be
assigned a user name and password. In addition, all restricted items would be assigned access to the
setup personnel.
Section 2.3.4 Key and Password Mode
The “Key and Password” mode requires the user to have the Program/Run key, user name, and user
password. Operation is basically the same as the Password only mode, except that in addition to
