LINK Systems OmniLink II Press Automation Control - Manual (Page 12)

August 30, 2002 Manual Version 1.0 2.3
4.
NEVER
use any cable other than that supplied by Link Systems for the high-speed serial
bus that interconnects the various components of the OmniLink II Press Automation Control.
This cable has been chosen to optimize communication speed and distance for the serial bus.
Use of other cables may result in communication faults that cause nuisance stops of your press
production system. DO NOT splice sections of cable between OmniLink II modules. Use
unbroken runs of cable between modules.
5. The wiring instructions for installation contained in this manual are necessarily generic since the
OmniLink II Press Automation Control may be interfaced with a wide variety of control systems
using multiple relay and electronic components. If the installer has questions related to the
proper installation of the system, contact the service personnel at Link Systems. Always test
each component of the system installation to see that proper function is obtained. In particular,
make certain that all stop outputs from the OmniLink system to the press control are interfaced
properly.
6. Installation of this system should be done in accordance with OSHA’s lockout/tagout regulations
(see CFR 1910.147). You will be mounting OmniLink components on the press, and may be
exposed to mechanical hazards if press movement should occur during mounting activities. You
will also be wiring electrical circuits that will use 115VAC (nominal) voltages. Unless these circuits
are de-energized during wiring activities, a serious or even fatal shock may occur. Depending on the
options purchased with your OmniLink system, you may also be installing air valves or pressure
sensors for air counterbalance or air cushion systems. These air systems could cause serious injury
if not depressurized before installation is started. Remove hazardous energy during OmniLink
system installation in accordance with CFR 1910.147.
WARNING! Failure to comply with CFR 1910.147 regulations and
remove hazardous energy during installation of the OmniLink II Press
Automation Control may result in serious injury or death! Use only
qualified installers trained in lockout procedures for installation. !
WARNING! Improper system installation or improper interface of
stop outputs from the OmniLink system to the press control may
result in damage to press, dies or other equipment and increase the
possibility of injury to operators and others. Use qualified installers.
