parameter that the editing cursor is currently on. It gives a short version of
how the parameter is used.
Module
Corresponds to the number of the Automatic Setups module that is
currently being configured. Typical systems will have only one module.
Up to four modules can be connected to one OmniLink II Press
Automation Control or OmniLink 5000 Press Control.
Air Slot
Corresponds to the physical slot number (AS1 in the example of Figure
4.3) selected for configuration on the auto-setup card.
Mode
Use the CHANGE MODE soft key to cycle the status from ON to MAN to
OFF and back to ON. ON means the module will automatically adjust the
air pressure when a job is recalled to the air pressure associated with that
job. MAN means the module will automatically adjust the air pressure, but
the pressure can only be changed from the Auto Setup screen by entering
the desired air pressure. A recalled job will NOT change the pressure if
you configure the module to MAN. OFF means the module will not
control the air pressure. This value should typically be set to ON.
Display Weight As
Set this parameter to the units that die weight should be displayed in. The
choices are pounds (lbs), kilograms (Kgs), tons, and metric tons (Mtons).
Note that the display unit can be changed at any time. If a job was stored
in tons, and this unit is changed to pounds, the stored job will still be
correct. For example, if 2 tons were stored for a job and the display unit is
changed to pounds, when the job is recalled it will be set to 4000 pounds.
Max. Die Weight
This should be set at the die weight the counterbalance handles at its
maximum pressure. Obtain this value from the press counterbalance table
or press manual.
Min. Die Weight
Set this value to 0 die weight. (This represents no tooling on the upper
slide at the minimum counterbalance pressure).
Max. Pressure
This value should be set to the maximum operating air pressure at which
the counterbalance is designed to operate. This is the pressure which
counterbalances the heaviest upper die the press is designed to
accommodate. The press counterbalance table (typically mounted on the
press) or the press manual should give this value.
Min. Pressure
This value should be set to the minimum operating pressure at which you
will operate your counterbalance. This value is the pressure that balances
the slide with no tooling and cannot be set below 5 psi. Obtain this value
from the press counterbalance table or press manual.
Tolerance
This is the amount by which the system will allow the pressure to vary and
still be considered “good”. For instance if tolerance is 2, then a setting of
30 psi will be considered “At Pressure” from 28 to 32 psi. Suggested
