Section 4.4.4 Restricted PLS Channels
Any programmable limit switch channel that has been restricted in the Press Control Configuration Menu
cannot be altered or bypassed by the operator. Only the first eight channels, PLS 1 to 8, can be restricted.
A restricted channel is indicated as being restricted by an "R" after the channel number in the Description
section of the Limit Switch menu. The softkeys that allow changes to be made to do not exist for restricted
channels. The channel must be configured Un-Restricted before any change can be made to the setpoints or
the description. See Section 5.5 for information on restricting PLS channels.
Section 4.4.5 Counted Outputs
Channels 1, 2, 9 and 10 are programmable limit switch channels with counted outputs. These channels will
not cycle every stroke but only cycle after the number of strokes programmed into the limit value for the
channel. For example, in Figure 4.8, the count limit for channel 1 has been programmed to 3. This channel
will turn on every third stroke. On every third stroke, the channel will turn on at 180 degrees and remain on
for .30 seconds. The channel will remain off at all other times. If it is desired for a counted output channel
to cycle every stroke, the limit should be set to 000 or 001. The maximum value for the limit setting is 255.
The current count is shown in the CNT column. This is a count down counter. When this counter counts
down to 000, the output will cycle in relation to the On and Off settings that have been programmed. The
RESET COUNT softkey will reset the present count values and set them equal to the limit setting. If both
channels on a group of 8 are programmed as counted outputs this will reset both channels, but will not clear
the counters on the other group of 8.
Section 4.5 Job Setups
From the Main Menu, Figure 4.1, pressing JOB SETUPS softkey displays the menu in Figure 4.10 and
allows the user to access the internal file system of the operator terminal. The parameters consisting of
programmable limit switch settings, automatic feed settings, tonnage monitor settings, and die protection
settings for the current job can be saved for later use. In addition, the settings for a job previously stored can
be recalled into the current job.
