a die protection module the press control will also wait for all die protection inputs to become satisfied. The
maximum time allowed for successive automatic strokes initiated by the feed is configured by the factory,
and is set for 10 seconds unless a specific application requires otherwise. Any stop input that causes a stroke
to not be initiated within this time limit will require clearing the fault and manually re-initiating the stroke.

The Automatic Single Stroke Time parameter can be changed from this screen. To change this parameter
use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the Automatic Single Stroke time. If the CHANGE NUMBER
softkey appears, the user has access to change this parameter. Section 3 describes the means necessary for
the user to gain access.

Section 4.2.4 Feed Complete Position

This parameter specifies a position in the downstroke at which the Feed Complete Signal must be High (24
volt), or the press will be immediately stopped. The input is examined only at the angle specified and no
further restrictions are placed on its activity. This feature is active only in the continuous mode, and only if
the press control has been configured to recognize the feed line. If the press is stopped due to the feed not
being in place, the continuous mode is aborted and must be manually setup and re-initiated.

The Feed Complete Position parameter can be changed from this screen. To change this parameter use the
arrow keys to move the cursor to the Feed Complete Position. If the CHANGE NUMBER softkey appears,
the user has access to change this parameter. Section 3 describes the means necessary for the user to gain
access.

Section 4.2.5 Continuous on Demand Time

This parameter sets the length of time that the press control will wait for the Continuous on Demand Run
input to go high to initiate continuous stroking after the Continuous on Demand stroke mode is activated by
manually depressing the set-up button and then the operator control buttons within 6 seconds. When the
auxiliary equipment removes the run input (input goes low) the press control will stop at the top of the
stroke, remain enabled, and wait for re-initiation. If continuous stroking is not initiated within this time limit
the press control will disable the automatic cycle, display the fault, and will require that the stroke be re-
initiated by manual means. The maximum time setting allowed for this parameter is configured by the factory,
and is set for 2 minutes unless otherwise specified. This parameter is used only if configured for Continuous
on Demand mode (see Section 4.3.7).

The Continuous on Demand Time parameter can be changed from this screen. To change this parameter use
the arrow keys to move the cursor to the Continuous on Demand Time. If the CHANGE NUMBER softkey
appears, the user has access to change this parameter. Section 3 describes the means necessary for the user
to gain access.

Section 4.2.6 Auxiliary Equipment Message

Status information from auxiliary equipment is provided through a parallel interface on the operator terminal.
If installed, a 7 bit binary code is translated into 1 of 127 messages (each up to 40 characters) held internally
in the operator terminal. See Section 5.6.2 and Section 7.4.
