emergency stop, or other stop input occurs. In the event of any stop condition, further strokes can be
initiated only after all operator run buttons and the Continuous Setup button are released. Stroke initiation
is prevented if an inactive station run button is depressed. If station #4 is configured for a foot switch, stroke
initiation is prevented if the foot switch is selected. Only the active palm button stations may be used to
initiate a stroke in this mode. Press operation is allowed only with the main motor running in the forward
direction.
Section 4.3.6 Automatic Single Stroke (When Provided)
This mode selection requires the use of an Automatic Single Stroke Setup prior action button and all active
operator stations to cause stroking. Six seconds are allowed after the Setup button is depressed for all active
operator station run buttons to be depressed and held until the crankshaft angle reaches the point of automatic
carry up. Stroke initiation is allowed only at the top of the stroke or in the downstroke and initiation is
prevented if an inactive station run button is depressed. If station #4 is configured for a foot switch, stroke
initiation is prevented if the foot switch is selected. Only the active palm button stations may be used to
initiate a stroke in this mode. After reaching the point of automatic carry up, any or all operator buttons may
be released and the press control will automatically return the slide to the top. Strokes can then be
automatically initiated when material is in place and other prescribed conditions are met within a
programmable time limit (see section 4.2.3). In the event of any stop condition or if the conditions required
to automatically stroke the press fail to operate within the allowable time the press control will display the
condition as the reason for the last stop and further strokes can be initiated only after all operator run buttons
and the Automatic Single Stroke Setup button are released and re-depressed. An automatic stroke is initiated
when the auxiliary equipment cycles the Feed Complete input #42 low during the upstroke or while paused
at the top and then back high. If equipped with a die protection module, the press control will wait for all
die protection inputs to become satisfied before allowing initiation and will display “No Die Pro in Time” as
the reason for stopping if not in position within the programmable time. Press operation is allowed only with
the main motor running in the forward direction. This mode is optional and can be configured ON or OFF
by the factory. In some applications the auxiliary equipment or press line may not be ready for a part to be
made when the stroke is manually initiated. If configured for this type of interface, the press control will
initiate the first stroke if the auxiliary equipment is ready (Feed Complete input #42 is high). If not ready the
press control will enable the mode when manually setup and initiated, but will not make the stroke until the
auxiliary equipment is ready. In this situation the present running status will immediately display “Waiting
for Feed” and the press control will initiate automatic strokes if they occur within the programmed Auto
Single Stroke Time.
Section 4.3.7 Continuous on Demand (When Provided)
Continuous on demand mode is an automatic mode used when the press is part of a cell of machinery used
in a production process. The press is slaved to other machinery in the cell which provides a signal to instruct
the press to run continuously for a period of time to produce needed parts and then to stop and wait till
another continuous run is needed to produce more parts for the process. This mode requires manual initiation
by pressing the Automatic Setup button and then pressing the active palm buttons within 6 seconds in order
to enable automatic operation. Periods of continuous stroking are then automatically initiated by auxiliary
equipment applying a high signal to the Continuous on Demand Run Input. If a Continuous on Demand Run
Signal is not received within the preset Continuous on Demand Time (see section 4.2.5), the mode will be
deactivated and must be manually reactivated. Any stop condition that occurs after the mode is enabled will
