LINK Systems Omni II Automatic Setups Module - Manual (Page 29)

Section 4 Configuration
After the OmniLink II Press Automation Control Automatic Setup module is installed (see
section 3.1), it must be configured to work with the press. Configuration consists of several
steps that depend on the options selected for the module. This System Configuration is normally
performed at start-up. It is usually not necessary to change the System Configuration unless
devices are added or removed from the system.
Care must be used during maintenance and troubleshooting to insure that necessary
devices are not removed from or added to the System Configuration. Maintenance should
not REMOVE or ADD devices unless the consequences of these actions are fully
understood. Removal of necessary devices will mean that these devices will no longer be
able to perform their intended function. Addition of devices that are not actually present
will result in error conditions that will prevent press operation until the error conditions
are removed.
CAUTION. Certain configuration settings affect safety considerations, such as Brake
Monitor limits, and others could affect whether elements of your production process are
properly controlled or monitored by the OmniLink 5000 Press Control or OmniLink II
Press Automation Control. User configuration should be limited to persons who have read
this manual and other pertinent manuals completely and who are authorized by the
employer to configure the system. Incorrect Brake Monitor limit settings may indirectly
expose an operator to danger at the point of operation if stopping time is allowed to
increase beyond the value used to calculate safety distance for presence sensing or two
hand control safeguarding devices. Incorrect sequencing or monitoring caused by
incorrect settings may lead to damaged dies, press, or auxiliary equipment. This machine
and tool damage may result in injury or death to persons.
Section 4.1 Configuring the OmniLink II for the Auto-Setup Module
The OmniLink II Press Automation system uses distributed intelligence in a variety of logic
modules so that it offers maximum flexibility for specific applications. The OmniLink II
Operator Terminal is the central integrating intelligence that communicates over serial
communication channels with each hardware module to allow seamless programming of
monitoring and control functions and display of information for each module. The Device
Configuration Menu is used to “tell” the OmniLink II Operator Terminal the specific hardware
modules used with the particular system with which it needs to communicate. Each hardware
module used with the system must have power and its high speed serial cable connected during
NOTE! An access code is required to reach the configuration menus of
the OmniLink 5000 Press Control and OmniLink II Press
Automation Control. The code is provided separately from this
manual for administrative control.
