The four items selected by the user for display can be mode dependent if the user can provide an
isolated input to the operator terminal derived from the press clutch/brake control to indicate
when the setup mode (usually Inch) is selected. The user has the option to choose four items for setup
mode and four different items for production modes when this setup mode input is available and when
the Use Mode Input setting is set to yes in the Machine Parameters Menu. Only one group of four items
will be displayed for all modes if no setup mode input is provided.
You may also make settings for the real time clock of the operator terminal on this screen to correct
discrepancies or change to daylight savings time.
The operator terminal can convert crankshaft angle into distance from bottom of stroke and display this
distance if you enter the connection rod length from crank to slide and the stroke length of the press.
Before entering Rod Length and Stroke Length, note that the default Rod/Stroke Units setting is
in(inches). If a setting in mm(millimeters) is desired, select Rod/Stroke Units and press the CHANGE
SETTING softkey to toggle the setting to mm. Enter settings for Rod Length and Stroke Length in the
dimensional units chosen for Rod/Stroke Units.
The OmniLink II LCD Operator Terminal provides both Spanish and English screens as standard. The
Default Language setting on the Top Display Area Configuration screen determines which language will
automatically be presented on power up of the system. If Default Language is set to English, the screens
will appear in English upon power up and the CHG key can be used to toggle the language between
English and Spanish. Configure Spanish as the Default Language setting on this screen if you wish
Spanish as the desired language each time the system is powered up.
Section 4.2.4.2 Zeroing Stroke Count
The Stroke Counter for the OmniLink II Operator Terminal cannot be reset or changed in either Run or
Program screens since it is intended to count cumulative strokes the press makes from the time the
OmniLink Press Automation Control is installed. However, if you wish to zero the stroke counter
because you reinstall the OmniLink system on another press, or for other reason, press the ZERO
STROKE COUNT key on the Top Display Area Configuration screen. This will result in a code entry
box appearing on the screen as shown in Figure 4.14.
