Note that some numeric settings may already be programmed when you receive the unit. These
settings were made during the checkout of your unit at the factory and must be reprogrammed as
you configure the system based on the specific characteristics of your press.
Section 4.2.1.1 Configuring the Encoder (Resolver) Type
The first step after you have initially installed the OmniLink II system will be to select the
Encoder Type setting on the Machine Parameters menu. An encoder is provided with each
OmniLink II Press Automation Control to be driven in a one-to-one ratio by the crankshaft of the press
to supply crankshaft angular position information to the system. The angular position display in the
upper left corner of the screen displays the angle provided by the encoder.
Link offers two different encoders with the OmniLink II Press Automation Control. The standard
encoder is the 2500 Resolver. An optional 5000 Resolver is also offered that combines a resolver and an
optical encoder in the same enclosure to allow cross checking of the angular position information. You
must determine which resolver you ordered with your system and set either “2500” or “5000” as the
Encoder Type setting, the first menu item in the Machine Parameters Menu. This setting will be selected
(highlighted) when the screen first appears. When the Encoder Type setting is selected, pressing the
Change Setting softkey will toggle the setting between “2500” and “5000”. If you have a 2500 resolver
and the setting already appears as 2500 in the highlighted area, you don’t need to push the Change
Setting softkey.
Section 4.2.1.2 Setting Top of Stroke Angle
After setting the Encoder Type, look at the Top of Stroke Angle setting, the third menu item from the
