b)
Each configured sub-system has a status. Under normal conditions, this status will read
“At Pressure” for air-based sub-systems such as counterbalances that are within the
tolerance setting of the set pressure. Slide sub-systems will read “In Position” when
within the tolerance setting for the shut height setpoint. See section 6 for an explanation
of all status messages for the various sub-systems.
c) Each configured sub-system has a fault message. Under normal conditions, this fault
should read “None”. See section 6 for an explanation of all fault messages for the
various sub-systems.
d)
Air pressure controlled sub-systems (counterbalances and cushions) display the current
actual pressure for that system in large numbers for easy visibility.
e)
Cushions allow the setpoint pressure to be entered directly in psi or to be set in force.
This force can be pounds, kilograms, tons, or metric tons depending on how the system is
configured. The configuration parameters (see Section 4.2.1.2) allow the system to
convert from force to psi automatically.
f)
Air pressure controlled sub-systems (counterbalances and cushions) have a pressure
setpoint in psi. This number is the intended pressure for that system.
g)
Slide adjust system show the shut height reported by the transducer in large numbers for
easy visibility. This number will be in inches or millimeters depending on how the
system is configured (see section 4.2.2 for details).
h)
The slide setpoint is the desired shut height for a slide in inches or millimeters depending
on how the system is configured (see section 4.2.2 for details).
i)
Each configured sub-system has an indicator that tells what mode the system is in - ON,
OFF, or MANUAL (see section 4 for details on the mode).
j)
Each configured sub-system is named at the top of the box in which its parameters and
settings are shown.
k)
Counterbalances allow the setpoint pressure to be entered directly in psi or to be set in
terms of die weight. This weight can be pounds, kilograms, tons, or metric tons
depending on how the system is configured. The configuration parameters (see Section
4.2.1.1) allow the system to convert from weight to psi automatically.
There are a number of softkeys in this screen:
“CHANGE NUMBER” This key allows the parameter that the editing cursor is currently on to
be changed. The editing cursor may be placed on a parameter using
the up, down, left, and right arrow keys. This key is not always
available depending on the access code configuration as defined in
Section 2.
