Section 5.1.4 Slide Fault and Status
The last fault and current status of the slide system are displayed for diagnostic and informational
purposes. Under normal conditions “Fault” should be “None”. If there is a problem with the slide
system, it will be reported here. “Status” gives the current state of the system such as “In Position”,
Slide Low”, “Moving Up” etc. For the most part these messages will be self explanatory. See section 6
for a complete list of fault and status messages with explanations.
Section 5.2 Air System (Counterbalance, Cushion, and Hydraulic Overload) Operation
Counterbalances, cushions, and hydraulic overloads (at least the overloads the ASM supports) are all
controlled by air pressure and as such are grouped as “air systems”. Each configured air system has its
own “box” on the screen (see Figure 5.1). The title of the box has the air system name and the mode
the system is in (ON, OFF, or MANUAL). This box contains:
Pressure Set The desired pressure of the air system in psi. This number may be changed by
manual operator entry when the operator has access via key or user code
depending on the configuration of the system as detailed in section 2. It may also
be automatically changed to the required pressure setpoint for a previously stored
job when that job setup is recalled from memory and the air system is “ON”.
Die Weight Set For counterbalances only, the desired die weight to be counterbalanced by the air
system. This number may be changed by manual operator entry when the
operator has access via key or user code depending on the configuration of the
system as detailed in section 2. It will also be changed to the required die weight
setpoint for a previously stored job when that job setup is recalled from memory
and the air system is “ON”. This number can be set in pounds, kilograms, tons,
or metric tons depending on the configuration as detailed in section 4.2.1.
Cush Force Set For cushions only, the desired cushion force to be generated by the air system.
This number may be changed by manual operator entry when the operator has
access via key or user code depending on the configuration of the system as
detailed in section 2. It will also be changed to the required cushion force
setpoint for a previously stored job when that job setup is recalled from memory
and the air system is “ON”. This number can be set in pounds, kilograms, tons,
or metric tons depending on the configuration as detailed in section 4.2.1.
Press Trip Set For hydraulic overloads only, the desired trip point to be set by the air system.
This number may be changed by manual operator entry when the operator has
access via key or user code depending on the configuration of the system as
detailed in section 2. It will also be changed to the required trip point for a
previously stored job when that job setup is recalled from memory and the air
system is “ON”. This number can be set in pounds, kilograms, tons, or metric
tons depending on the configuration as detailed in section 4.2.1.
Actual Pressure The actual air pressure of the air system in psi as measured by a pressure
transducer that is an input to the system.
